A review by mgeryk
I Love You More Than You Know by Jonathan Ames

3.0

I will say that I started this book not enjoying it very much, but by the end I enjoyed it enormously. I've read one or two reviews on this site that take issue with the writing, and I have to say that I agree: it's as though Ames's personality comes through in his essays despite his writing, not because of it, and that's where I'd say that the comparisons to David Sedaris are inaccurate: Sedaris's writing is nothing if not a vehicle for his personality, or at least his persona as a writer.

I'd be interested to know how his live performances differ from his essay style.
