Summary: Hilarious From Beginning to End
Comment: I am a huge fan of David Sedaris and when I began this book I anticipated a similiar style of humor and I was not disappointed.
The dialogue is funny, the plot is funny, and the inside look at home shopping networks is a true riot.
The ending is just as good as the beginning and it makes you want to read more and more from Augusten Burroughs. This is my first novel by this author and I look forward to reading the rest of his novels after this one.

Summary: Sedaris meets Vonnegut
Comment: I picked up this book because I liked the cover - read the first page in the store, and rushed home to buy it on Amazon. On the basis of that first page, I had prepared myself for the kind of involvement and hilarity that I have come to expect from David Sedaris, and I was not disappointed. Burroughs is a master storyteller - he gets the details right, creates characters that leap from the page, and makes you howl with laughter. This is a great romp through the world of home shopping networks, if we could but peek behind the scenes and infuse it with the wicked imagination it surely begs for. I hated tosee Sellevision end, because ther is nothing more therapeutic than a great laugh -- I eagarly await Mr. Burrough's next novel. In fact I am going to sit right here and wait. Hurry......

Summary: Made Me a Fan
Comment: I became a fan of Augusten Burroughs very quickly. I first bought "Dry" after all the comparisons to Rikki Lee Travolta's "My Fractured Life" and was very pleased with the purchase. "Sellevision" was my second Burroughs book and I enjoyed it even more. Burroughs definitely has the same quick wit and off center sense of jesting that Travolta has. The writing is very similar and is winning me over as a fan. "Sellevision" has a somewhat different slant than "Running With Scissors" which I consider my favorite of his books, but just by being different it is enjoyable. I love Burroughs' writing.
