Here is what people are saying about the Holidays on Ice : Stories
2 Star Rating  "Funny at first, but lost my attention."2009-10-09
- Reviewed By User: A2PVOBDH8VRHUD
This is the first David Sedaris book I've purchased and attempted to read. The first couple of chapters were interesting and funny but didn't have anything to do with dealing with family. It was about his Christmas job. I didn't necessarily like his view of families and children in which the humor was a little too dark for my taste. Halfway through, there was really more mundane daily stuff that didn't hold my attention. I didn't have any interest in finishing this book.
 
5 Star Rating  "For all you Scrooges out there!"2009-08-31
- Reviewed By grantbeehler
I had checked out this book at the college library back in 2004 by chance. It was my first exposure to David Sedaris and I later realized I'd known of his family through Amy Sedaris on "Strangers With Candy." Since then, I've read all of his books and ran into other author's like him (Augusten Boroughs comes to mind.) I took my dad for his birthday two years ago to see David Sedaris read live, from his then upcoming book, When You Are Engulfed in Flames.

I don't think there is a single Sedaris book I would not recommend. I've bought several copies of this book as holiday presents to cheer up grumpy family members and co-workers. I doubt any of David Sedaris's humor is lost on even the scrooge-iest of Scrooges. The book is short and broken into several articles/ segments as heard on NPR in the 90's (they occasionally replay them to this day.) Fast and quick and always a pleasure!
 
5 Star Rating  "I never get this book back once I lend it out.."2009-07-19
- Reviewed By User: A2LSNQ9A9SIL5S
I was given this book as a Christmas gift many years ago. Laugh out loud funny so I lent it out to a co-worker. He left the position and I never got the book back. I bought the book again and the exact same thing happened. I have a copy now that I will never let anyone borrow again. Buy your own because you cannot have mine! Seriously, David Sedaris is one of the most brilliant writers I've ever read and having dressed up as an elf myself once before, I was crying because I was laughing so hard. Definitely a great stocking stuffer if you are thinking of shopping early for Christmas...
 
4 Star Rating  "ho ho ho"2009-06-30
- Reviewed By User: A1KAS2W1TD8UOU
Omigosh, this was one with like a hard ice tea in the middle of the dessert. I thought the conversational essay was dead. Reading Dave is such a treat, he is the kind of guy I should date,polite,observant,with a dark witty, messed up sense of humor.
Anyone who has worked in retail during Christmas can relate to The Santaland Diaries. He tells you about the highs and lows of being a christmas elf.
Dina the Christmas Whore was a great visual essay and The Christmas Letter was a scream.(although in the most twisted way )
The last two are confusing and not worth reading. But other than that its a great book.

- Reviewed By User: A1C8X8TGQWZNKJ
The best way to appreciate David Sedaris is either live or on audio cd. The man is hystericaly funny, in a condescending, sharp-tongued manner. He is the Mark Twain of his day (if Twain had been a gay midget).
 
4 Star Rating  "One Gaffe on Ice..."2009-03-22
- Reviewed By User: A3G7243ELNJHWW
Okay, so there's no way anyone can say this author doesn't possess that gusty type of humor. No way! SantaLand Diaries, I remembered being the reason Sedaris's name stayed penned in my memory as `that gusty humorous author.'

But I stopped cold with Season's Greetings... thank God it wasn't as long as SantaLand... which made it difficult to laugh getting through the Christmas Whore. Season's Greeting literally made me sick to my stomach. Ridiculing the Vietnamese girl and her language, yet leaving a child in her care, the dryer, the legal scuffle... My God! ...Why was this story even included!?! But least I stop and digress as enough people have already pronounced their displeasure here...

To conclude, struggling as I did getting through the whore to actually get back to the chuckle bubbles that kept erupting in SantaLand, I eventually recognized what makes Sedaris an attention grabbing name.

Let's see: "...industrial-strength lasagna,"... "pea-sized conscience"... "...wrong-headed and pointless" ... "disposable boats, ultrasuede basketballs..." --these unsullied phrases are littered throughout the book. As noted above, I am finicky and draw lines quickly where it concerns children, but Front Row Center... I cried laughing! I mean come on now, comparing bad entertainment to treating cancer early, that's just over the top brilliant humor... and a bit clique I must add.

Saved for the stories pulled from the dark side of someone's traumatizing suffering, the way Sedaris lays humor on paper otherwise is among the cleverest in this time!
