Allie Brosh astounds me. Despite her strange little drawings, particularly a self-portrait that looks something like a marine tube worm, she reaches some profound truths in the course of her book. Part graphic novel, part autobiography, she manages to both amuse and discomfort the reader in the best...
I started reading this book late at night on my kindle, with the lights off and my bf sleeping peacefully beside me. After half an hour I had to stop reading because I was trying to laugh quietly and all I was managing was shaking the bed and waking up my bf. And then I couldn't fall asleep remember...
OMG I can't even tell you how much I loved this book. I laughed so hysterically through the entire thing that I could not read it and eat or drink at the same time. I am emotionally exhausted after reading it. READ IT!
Genre: Humor / Biography / Childhood Year Published: 2013 Number of Pages: 371 pages Date Read: 7/6/2014 Publisher: Simon & Schuster So, when I was looking through the illustrations of this book, I was thinking to myself: “Hey, wait a minute... I seen these illustrations before!” ...
Hyperbole and a Half: Unfortunate Situations, Flawed Coping Mechanisms, Mayhem, and Other Things That Happened by Allie Brosh is a collection of hilarious short stories and essays about the author's life that range from her crazy antics as a child to her current outlook on life as an adult. I was a ...
I'm pleased to say I was pleasantly surprised by this lovely book. And, I get to count it towards my nonfiction goal! I have been hearing about Hyperbole and a Half for quite some time now, but really didn't know what to expect. It's actually quite funny (I find many books try to be but have a hard ...
There is just something about Allie Brosh's drawings. I couldn't tell you what it is exactly, but it endears me to them. They really aren't that great and yet they are great. I wish I could draw a stickish figure with a pink dress and a big head and a weird cone hair/hat that conveys a 1/10th as muc...
So, so, so funny. Seriously, reading in bed, late one night, trying to control my laughter so as to not wake the husband...I think I might have sprained something. Worth it.
Brosh is kind of amazing. Reading the cake story, or the story of either dog, or the goose, causes uncontrollable laughter (I had read some of these when they were posted online). But it's not just humor. Because the posts on depression are devastating: you feel gutted, right along with her. Even wh...
Very good. Very funny. Well not very funny in some places, but in other places so funny that I LOL'd uncontrollably until Jim said, "What? What is it? What's the matter with you?". Side note, I don't know if this is available as an ebook or not, but I don't think it would be very good that way u...
