I don't know whether to laugh at Sedaris' work or be offended by his portrayal of minorities in some of his stories. It was a funny read, however some stories such as the story of Sedaris' fascination with his overweight and poor black classmate were a bit jarring to my cultural senses because of the way that he described the girl and his superiority to her as a middle class individual. I listened to the audiobook and the authors' voice inflection when he was reading added to the humor in the story. It took about three hours in all to get through the stories. I would recommend it to people who need a short read or just are going on a drive and want to listen to something interestingly to get them through their commute.
Queen is a spoiled fifth grader who's father has led her to believe she is royalty. Acting on this belief, Queen bullies her classmates, family, and friends into doing whatever she wants until the day that Leroy, a fellow fifth grader, comes into her life and changes everything.
Flake has written an interesting middle grade story about a little girl who must learn to act in the gregarious way that her name dictates. At first, the main character grated on my nerves, but as the story went on, I warmed to Queen. This is definitely a story that I would recommend to people of all ages. It is especially good for reading with your family. It is totally worth the short time it takes to react.
