No matter the style or size of the gathering, from the straightforward to the bizarre, I Like You provides jackpot recipes and solid advice laced with Amy's blisteringly funny take on entertaining and everything it takes to pull off a party with extraordinary flair.

    "A Goldmine"
    By Barbara (SAN DIEGO, CA, USA) Oct 19, 2006
    I found this book a delightful read. My favorite part- and it's not easy to choose, was the hilariously informative section on how to be a good guest. Make no mistake, the content is not just great satire, but an actual handbook on how to give a successful party. The included pdf files of the recipes mentioned are the icing on the cake.

    Ms. Sedaris gives useful tips I have never heard or seen anywhere else. Her narration is top notch and a treat in itself. I can't wait for her next effort!

    This is the book you will give for the Holidays.

    "Hilarious"
    By Richard (Oakland, CA, USA) Jan 10, 2007
    I listened to this book on a long flight to Hawaii. Amy's strangeness and humor is a precious gift to a world that takes itself too seriously.

    "Dinner with Candy!"
    By Ashley (Atlanta, GA, USA) Feb 6, 2007
    Funny but Ican see how it'd be a better gift in hardcover than audio listen

    "Bland, Bland, Bland"
    By Sara (State College, PA, USA) Jan 1, 2009
    I generally like Amy Sedaris' brand of humor. But this title really misses the mark. You can tell it's abridged and the editing was done poorly. Topics tend to be jumpy and some areas get repeated unnecessarily. But thankfully it WAS abridged!! I don't know how much more I could listen to. Basically, this is Amy discussing how she puts on parties for her friends. It includes recipes (seriously!), tips on how to get out various stains, ideas on the types of parties one can throw, and some tongue-in-cheek tips on how to and how not to act while throwing and/or attending a party. A few laughs, but more often than not, just boring background droning. Not Recommended :(

    "you have to have a sense of humor..."
    By Jenny (St. Martinville, LA, United States) Nov 10, 2008
    If you don't have a sort of off the wall sense of humor, you may not find this funny, I on the other hand, found myself laughing out loud at the park with my earbuds firmly implanted in my ears so that I probably looked like a crazy person. I found it to be extremely funny.....

    "perfect, if you're in"
    By Erik (West Linn, OR, USA) Sep 29, 2008
    Fans of Amy and her cohorts certainly will be delighted. Others might not be.
