When I first saw this book at the bookstore, the title caught my attention. "Me Talk Pretty One Day" - it was surely incorrect grammar, and it seems like the author used this to emphasize something. I predicted that it meant something like "I would like to talk prettier one day". Well, I was partly right.
After reading this book, I could tell why David Sedaris' books were so popular, and why he is being called as "The next Mark Twain". Each of the stories was hilarious and made me laugh out loud while reading this book. I loved all the silly stories, incidents, and his abnormal family members he picked on. He is definitely a brilliant author. However, as I was reading through the book reviews, I found that there were quite a lot of people who thought that the book was pointless and just for humor. I do understand that people could have different opinions on this book and that some may think that this book is more for enjoyment and humor than for educational purposes. So, I would recommend this book more to people who would read it lightly and for enjoyment.
