If I’m in the right mood, no one can make me laugh like David Sedaris, and I laughed all the way through Me Talk Pretty One Day. He has a rare intelligence and wit combined with brutal honesty that make his writing original, fresh, hilarious.

The first part of the book is set in the states and tells some funny stories of his family and his teacher’s attempts to get rid of his lisp; the second and better half is about his life as an expat in Paris and his attempts to learn French. If you’re in the mood for a good laugh, and some slightly raunchy humor, you should enjoy this book.
