Calypso

Calypso by David Sedaris

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


*** Possible Spoilers ***

This is a series of short stories / anecdotes which are chosen to be humorous and generally succeed. I thought it was good without being great. I did have a few chuckles as I worked my way through the book, and since humor is very difficult to write, I consider this quite satisfactory. There was only one story I didn't like. I didn't dislike it, just found it quite boring since the author is writing about shopping and I have no interest in the subject.

In general the stories were light, breezy and enjoyable. I consider the time I spent reading to be worth it.
