I loved "Strangers with Candy" and I also love anything written by David Sedaris, so I figured a book by his sister Amy would be a stitch. It had some funny moments but for the most part this book was confusing. I'm afraid to try any of the recipes because I can't tell if she is being serious or not. I think maybe the recipes are real but the photos and things are DISGUSTING. I get that she intended for the book to be weird and gross because well... that's Amy Sedaris. But I just didn't find it very funny. It was too serious to be truly funny and too weird to be truly serious, if that makes any sense.I did get a tickle out of her descriptions of what to do for children's parties. That was kind of funny. The photos of the plastic food were just odd. I spent a good amount of money on the book and I threw it into my "books to donate" box as soon as I finished it.
