slayra reviewed Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk by David Sedaris
Review of 'Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
I have to use Marisa Meltzer words on this one: "Delightfully bizarre... It's an animal kingdom more like us than we could ever know". Definitely bizarre, you'll probably find a situation you've been through in more than one of the animal stories in this book. Don't think this is a funny book with children stories because they are about our society and each of them is only funny if you appreciate dark humour. It's made of seventeen short stories and I felt some were quite on spot: "The Migrating Warblers", "The Toad, the Turtle and the Duck" and "The Sick Rat and the Healthy Rat". "The Grieving Owl" is the funniest story and starts with a great illustration. I'd give 3 stars to some stories and 4 to others, so I'll leave it in 4. Quite an interesting book to have by the computer while waiting for it to do …
