Holidays on Ice

Beware. This is a slapped together collection, packaged with a thin holiday theme. The SantaLand diaries are hilarious, the others range from awful to mediocre. There is no reason to read this book as SantaLand is found elsewhere. Thank goodness I still have a few of Sedaris' "legitimate" books to read.

I agree! A rare disappointment from Sedaris.

Sorry you had the same experience, I didn't know that Santaland could also be found elsewhere.
I concur, skip and listen to SantaLand and then Calypso(IMO).

I was afraid this book might be like this. I LOVE Sedaris and have read all of his other books, and enjoyed them all. Glad to know I can skip this one.
I was afraid this book might be like this. I LOVE Sedaris and have read almost all of his books, except a few of his earliest ones. Glad to know I can skip this one.

So sorry that Sedaris failed to deliver. I love his 'legitimate" work too.
