Haley Mathiot (9 KP) rated David Sedaris Diaries: A Visual Compendium in Books

Apr 27, 2018

David Sedaris—Live for your listening pleasure (Audio)
Genre: Radio show
Rating: 4/5

David Sedaris tells story after humorous story, always pulling laughs from his audience (the audio recording is live). This short collection of memoir-esque stories will keep you laughing the whole way through.

The recording features four stories and several diary entries that are sure to have you grinning at the least and crying from laughing at the most.

Content: There was some mild language and some sexual references. Not for the easily offended.

Recommendation: Ages 18+ to anyone who enjoys radio shows, comedy, or just needs a good laugh and a break from reality.

Finale

I really enjoyed the first two books which were set during the two games of Caraval that the two sisters Scarlett and Donatella were involved in. This one not so much. There wasn't a game as such, it was more about saving the land from an evil tyrant.
The concept of the Fates was good. I think in a book written for adults this could have been explored in more depth, but this is for a younger audience so detail was lost.
And oh for goodness sake, what's with all the kissing!!!! It is essentially a book about love, and obviously for a YA audience (the main characters are about 16 and 18) but there was just too much of it.

What's interesting is reading this book at 33, feeling not nearly as intelligent or gifted as I did growing up, I could connect with the characters. While Colin is 17/18 in this book, he's going through the same questions as I am/have. The last chapter is really where it all comes together for me. I will read it again along with the appendix because there's a lot of meaning in it, more than can be absorbed in a quick read.

This is my first John Green book. I enjoyed the writing style and will definitely read more in the future. I recommend this book for anyone undergoing an identity crisis to resolve who they were or thought they were with who they are.
