This was quite entertaining. It’s a collection of seventeen fables featuring various animals being exceedingly human, dealing with politics, parenthood, marriage, greed, and assholes (literally and figuratively), among other things. It’s pretty raunchy and dirty at times, especially with the graphic...
Animals having, for the most part, human conversations. Fun, fairly light stuff, with a bit of clever dashed in now and then as always found in a stew of David Sedaris stories. To get the proper feel for a Sedaris story, you need to listen to his books. Listening to his previous books on cd and havi...
I generally like Sedaris, and this was an interesting idea, but I didn't enjoy it. The first piece that ended with a shocking twist was fresh, but the same mechanism was used repeatedly and reductively. I get it--people are awful and not cute and benign like little bunnies. If I want to read stories...
Hell, I don't know what shelves to put this book on, nor what stars to give. It's animals and pictures and a vague sense of whimsy, but it's also the most depressing fucking book on humanity I've read in quite some time.
I'm a big fan of David Sedaris (and his hilarious sister Amy too), but when this came out I was puzzled. I didn't know what to make of it. So I dismissed it, thinking aaw, he's run out of ideas, now he's changing course, and he's looking for a quick income fix.Shame on me.This is hilarious. Class...
An adults picture book. The artwork is by Ian Falconer famous for books & TV cartoon Olvia.This was funny & in a way had a moral @ the end of some of the stories. Def worth the read, but ahow your kids The Crow and The Lamb pictures.My favorites: The Toad, the Turtle and the Duck in the complaint li...
Dark, twisted, insightful, prophetic, hilarious, fun ! If you are not upset by 'foul' language, and the dark humor, this book is a belly laugh. Filled with anthropomorphic characters, with quite interesting attitudes. I have it on audio and the narrators could not have nailed they attitudes better. ...
Maybe I ought to listen to a Sedaris audiobook sometime instead of just reading it. Given these Goodreads reviews it sounds like he adds a lot to his stories when he reads them aloud. I don't know, I liked this, but I felt like something was lacking. They're animal stories, only the animals are pret...
