Naked Review
David Sedaris proves that the spazziest of kids can grow up and produce great writing. He is so smart, but it took him many years of effing up to finally figure out what he was good at. Once he figured it out, he has produced a number of very funny, very human, very wonderful books. He makes me laugh and cry and remember my own childhood. I am so glad to see a writer get recognized who isn't some snarky blogging gen x'er. This may not be his funniest book, but it is a great one.

Naked Overview
Naked is a riotous compilation of stories performed by David and Amy Sedaris. Publishers Weekly praised this program's "smashing use of the audio as a unique entertainment medium" and called the performances "highly likeable and spirited throughout." They also named it one of "the best of the best" tapes of the year, and deemed it worthy of "multiple listens."
Naked Specifications
Hip radio comedy fans and theater folks who belong to the cult of Obie-winning playwright/performer David Sedaris must kill to get this book. These would be fans of the scaldingly snide Sedaris's hilariously described personal misadventures like The Santaland Diaries (a monologue about his work as an elf to a department store Santa) seen off-Broadway in 1997. In a series of similarly textured essays, Sedaris takes us along on his catastrophic detours through a nudist colony, a fruit-packing plant, his own childhood, and a dozen more of the world's little purgatories.

Good book, irritating voice - scotta2 -
I bought this audio book because I recently read Me Talk Pretty One Day and absolutely loved it. I definitely enjoyed Naked and it kept me entertained on a long car trip, but I probably wouldn't buy another audio book by David Sedaris just because his voice is kind of irritating and hard to get used to. I think his books are hilarious but would prefer to read them on paper. Great writer though!
Laugh Out Loud Funny - Marla Martenson - Los Angeles, Ca
naked was my first David Sedaris experience. A friend recommended it and I am so glad he did. Sedaris is a brilliant writer and can turn any mundane situation into a hilarious event. There is a chapter devoted to his "ticks" ... meaning his impulsive desire to lick a light switch or touch certain things. I was reading that chapter while sipping coffee at the Pancake House and I started laughing out loud! He has a lifelong fan in me.

I laughed until I cried, unfortunately I like to read late at night in bed and my husband didn't get much sleep. Warning........ fabulously talented artist at work in this book.
