Publisher's Summary
The brilliantly quirky David Sedaris returns with a book of acerbic and outrageously funny stories about animals who have unmistakably human failings.
This collection of sharply observed animal-themed tales is a delight, told with David Sedaris's trademark blend of hilarity and good nature. Though the characters may not be human, the situations in these stories bear an uncanny resemblance to the insanity of our own everyday interactions.
In 'The Toad, the Turtle, and the Duck', three strangers commiserate about animal bureaucracy while waiting in a complaint line. In 'Hello Kitty', a cynical feline struggles to sit through his prison-mandated AA meetings. In 'The Squirrel and the Chipmunk', a pair of star-crossed lovers is separated by prejudiced family members.
Includes an exclusive fable not featured in the book.

"Just plain AWFUL"
I have downloaded most of David Sedaris audio books and the rest I have on CD. They have all been most enjoyable. This is not one such audio book. What a awful collection of stories clearly just stolen from real life with people replaced with animals. Too much swearing for no effect. This download comes in two parts. I did not even bother to listen to the second part. This review is for the Squirrel Seeks Chipmunck, and not Audible as a service. Audible is still second to none as far as content and service are concernd.

"Delightful and profound"
This is only my second download from Audible, and it's a complete joy. The stories work on many different levels, much in the manner of the fables of La Fontaine or Aesop. Ostensibly they are about animals. Actually they are about us: our silly prejudices, pretensions and inconsistencies. The different readers are wonderful - each one perfect for the material. Not all the stories deserve 5 stars - but the baboon and the cat and the squirrel and the chipmunk stories are worth the price of this recording alone!
