Sedaris must be another word for honest
What a rare treat. To be exposed to the honesty and quite often brutal frankness of David’s observations is an insight into a life of great perseverance and mistakes, all admitted and outlined with humour and grace. If it was me, the Tiffany story, after a show, would be left on the cutting floor. But that’s the magic. If DS comes to my town, I’m there. Not a novel, but one of my Audible favourites.

Does not disappoint
David Sedaris is my faviourite author and while I have all his books and audio recordings already, it was wonderful to hear this collection and the excellent interview at the end.

Great
A great collection.
I never get tired of listening to David’s stories and observations on life. I’ll definitely listen to this again and again especially when I need to smile .

Just recycled material
I have been a fan of David Sedaris for years and when I noticed he had a released a new book I got excited. However this is yet another apparent new release with just more recycled material from previous books. There’s very little in the Best of Me that is new and would justify buying it.
From now I will avoid David Sedaris’ future releases. I’m afraid that if Mr Sedaris wishes to maintain his fan base he might have to work a little harder rather resting on his old and tired laurels

A dud
I tried for hours but couldn't get into this book. My first ever unfinished novel. I can't say I'll be back for more of David's work.
