When You Are Engulfed in Flames


  

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Sedaris; Just what you expect.
David is in top form again for this collection of comic essays. Not his best, but still very good!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Sedaris Delivers a Hilarious Must-Have!
As always, Sedaris delivers. This book is hilarious in its oddities while simultaneously sparking something in you that says, "That's totally happened to me." Sedaris finds a way to take the mundane and make it laugh out loud funny. His quirky personality makes him just the right amount of crazy to keep us on his side and completely "engulfed" in his stories.

This book will not disappoint. And if it does... you might want to get your head checked.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Absolutely awful to read.
Boring, dreadful, there is nothing good I can say about this book. I find reading law school textbooks much more interesting then this author's work.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - pleasent stories which prove that truth can be funnier than fiction
'When You are Engulfed in Flames' is one of several collections of true autobiographical stories by David Sedaris. They are funny, mostly in a whimsical versus hilarious sort of way. Some are fairly lame, almost boring. But overall the book is a very fast, breezy read that puts a smile on your face.


Bottom line: perhaps not as good or as funny as his earlier works, nonetheless 'When You are Engulfed in Flames' is a sure way to cure the blues, .. at least temporarily.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Sedaris at his best
Pure Sedaris humor, thus good. Yet this collection stands head and shoulders above other titles. Finally his partner Hugh plays a role in almost all stories, so this time we not only read about Sedaris' family but he also writes on the subject of homosexuality and his love for Hugh. And then there is the best Sedaris story that I know so far: "That's amore", about this shrewd, shrewd neighbor woman.
