With Sedaris' name attached to this, I really wanted to like this set of short stories. And I did enjoy some of them a lot, but others... well, not so much. The stories recall various incidents in the lives of a bunch of anthropomorphized animals. We hear about a mouse with a pet snake, a cat with a monkey for a hair stylist/groomer, the marital problems of an Irish Setter, and the judgements of a holier-than-thou hen, among others. Some stories shock, others puzzle, the rest just fizzle. While not the antithesis of Disney stories, they were just off-beat enough to keep my interest.
