 Warning to Driving Listeners!!! December 29, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Be prepared to be embarassed as you are caught at a stop light laughing hysterically while other drivers stare quizzically at you! For me, it was the same stop light each day on my drive to work - invariably, I was laughing out loud, by myself, in my car. David Sedaris' quick, cutting wit will have you nodding in agreement and laughing out loud, too. I can't imagine anyone else reading these stories aloud with the same sarcasm and wit. Everyone will find some story or detail to which s/he can identify. My first Sedaris' audio book - what a great introduction to a funny man!
 A Lot of essays from previous books and a few new ones December 28, 2008

I love David Sedaris' work and was looking forward to reading this newest collection of essays. It was disappointing to find that a lot of the essays were from previous books. If you haven't read any of his previous books, you will thoroughly enjoy Sedaris' low key, quirky sense of humor, but if you are a returning fan, you will be disappointed at the "regifting".
Burning Wit December 24, 2008
When You Are Engulfed in Flames is a razor-sharp work relating various parts of David Sedaris' existence as only he can see them.
Recommended for anyone wishing to embark on a jaunt through smart, entertaining prose.
The best yet... December 23, 2008
It has been a while since I've read his previous books but this one had me laughing out loud in the car. My only regret was that I didn't have anyone to share it with at the moment although I've since let one of my friends borrow it so that she can roll around with laughter. The best book yet. Simply fantastic. David will not let you down. Promise...

i too was influenced by some of the previous reviews and i dont understand how anyone could have possibly found this book even remotely funny. i forced myself to finish it but it was painful.
