My book Review for the book “Me Talk Pretty One Day” by David Sedaris

This book is an autobiographic book about David Sedaris and how he grows up. The events depicted are often true, and only a little different from his real life, and his family and friends. In part one of the book it begins with him in the 5th grade going to his speech therapy classes. From there on in the book it shows him improving and by the end of part one he is an adult. In various parts of part one he keeps looking back at his childhood telling us different stories of his life and what kind of obstacles he had to cross along the way. In part two of the book it shows us a big turning point in his life. This is when David Sedaris moves to France with his spouse Hugh. This is a difficult task for him because his French grammar is awful! He spends a large amount of his time trying very hard to understand the French language.

I think that you should read this book because I really enjoyed it. This book kept me busy and it was a hard book to put down at night when I was in bed. Please read it I think you will learn many difficult life lessons in your time doing so.

Name edit

Would it be better to refer to Sedaris as just "David" in the essay summaries? I mean, there's like eight different Sedarises mentioned in the whole book. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.170.38.38 (talk) 00:48, 23 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

Essays? edit

Is this really a collection of essays? the book does not say, and "Big Boy" seems like a short story. 164.47.179.32 (talk) 19:07, 11 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
