What Members Thought
I really enjoyed this book, especially as an audiobook production. It was challenging to follow with the footnotes being read, especially in the beginning. Still, the payoff, once the story started, was great. And, who can resist David Sedaris’ voice? Very entertaining!
Original? Yes. Amazing? No. I appreciate the research and creative thought process to write, but I cannot say I enjoyed reading it. It was just too dull.

Maybe it was just the audio version. 166 narrators?? I could not keep my attention on the book - tried 2 out of 6 CDs and gave up. TRIED AGAIN. also gave up.
