David Sedaris' first collection of comic stories and essays. Performed by the author and his sister Amy Sedaris, this program is described by the New York Post as 'a nuclear barrage of humor you could never replicate by reading this material on your own.'
Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Well Read by Sedaris & Sister, and Very Funny
The reviews of the audiobook are much more positive than the reviews of the written work, the latter of which struck readers as not as good as Sedaris' more recent work. One does get the sense from some of the stories that Sedaris was cleaning out his bottom drawer to capitalize on the success of his Santaland Diaries by pasting together a book-length work.

Rating:  - My Favorite Sedaris!
This is the best of the best, as far as I'm concerned. "You Can't Kill the Rooster" will crack up anyone raised in or currently living in the South - we all have known guys like David's younger brother Paul, a.k.a. The Rooster.
Rating: - Sensational Sedaris...
David Sedaris is one funny, talented man. It's one thing to read his work, but I heartily recommend you listen to him on audio cassette or CD...his delivery is nothing short of sensational. The only problem is, once you listen to one book on CD/tape, you are compelled to get them all...which I have, much to the delight of amazon.com!
Rating: - Not quite as funny as "Naked" or "Me Talk Pretty One Day"
David Sedaris is one of my favorite authors. This book is not quite as funny as some of his others, but certainly worth the read.
Rating: - An Exception to the Rule
As a general rule, I avoid audio books. The actual texts are cheaper, and I find that I get a fuller experience of the book when I read it myself.
David Sedaris is the exception to that rule.
Don't get me wrong; I love reading his work. I've read everything I can by him and enjoyed every mintue. The exception is that as much as I enjoy reading his work, listening to him read it is all that much better.
Sedaris' voice is perfect; soft and dry like his humor. And ... Read More
