Thoughts on "Me Talk Pretty One Day"

I think that this book would appeal to a younger audience. It has a lighter tone with lots of comedy which would appeal to teenagers and young adults. For the most part there are not going to be too many obstacles that you will have to face when reading this book. It's not very long, the vocabulary isn't all that difficult, and the book is very entertaining at times. The only slight obstacle that I can think of is if the reader doesn't know that it is a collection of essays and doesn't have just one plot. The book has a lot of interesting topics worthy of discussion such as David Sedaris's homosexuality, drug use, and his dysfunctional family. The only adult content in this book is the strong language used throughout. I think that pretty much all students come into contact with obscenities on a regular basis and could handle the fact there is a lot of strong language in this book.
