Holidays on Ice by David Sedaris


Rating: 4.0

What it's about:
HOLIDAYS ON ICE collects six of David Sedaris' most profound Christmas stories into one slender volume perfect for use as a last-minute coaster or ice scraper. This drinking man's companion can be enjoyed by the warmth of a raging fire, the glow of a brilliantly decorated tree, or even the backseat of a van or police car. It should be read with your eyes, felt with your heart, and heard only when spoken to. It should, in short, behave much like a book. And, oh, what a book it is! -taken from Barnes&Noble.com

My thoughts:
I enjoyed reading these holiday stories. It's not your typical Christmas fare though. A couple of these stories were pretty disturbing. Whether I was chuckling to myself or shuddering I was entertained by this book and would recommend it to anyone who wants a unique holiday read.
