All My Friends Are Dead: Makes Me Happy To Be Alive
All My Friends Are Dead - Avery Monsen,Jory John

I finally got around to reading this one, and I have to admit, I really enjoyed it. 

 

It was absurdly funny, the illustrations were cute, and after I finished reading, I felt an immense wave of gratitude for ALL the people, places, things, ideas that have gotten me to where I am today.

 

I can't wait to keep the curiosity going in the present and to be more open to the moments of perfection with joyous eyes, that are sometimes overlooked because the truth is: we only have a short amount of time on this gorgeous planet.

 

My favorite part was the house plant:

 

  

All in all, a good way to start the day, and I look forward to reading the next installation in a little while.

I was reading some reviews of this tiny booklet and was quite surprised about the strong emotions it was causing in people, who seem aghast at the fact that it has a higher average rating then certain literary masterpieces. Although everyone is obviously entitled to an opinion of the their own, I simply don't see the problem. They are two completely different things, read for two completely different reasons.

 

But I'm digressing. If you're following me for some time you know I'm unable to resist anything with a dinosaur on the cover, and this was no exception. For me this was the book I came across in the book store and couldn't help but read whilst being there. For example, there's a baker who claims that 'all my friends are bread'. If I were to describe it in one word: Absurd. But a nice 'reading' experience.

 

Beware that the despite the children book look it has, it is certainly not a children's book. At times filled with some social commentary, this mostly is a book to read in a very short time. Would certainly recommend.

I almost bought this for my son on his kindle without paying attention.

I know, how can I rate this 4 stars. It is not a classic, it doesn't have an intricate plot or highly evolved characters: And yet, here I am laughing and shaking my head at the silliness and simple truth of it all, finding humor in the sadness of what life can be at times and I realize I will never be able to buy a plant again without thinking first of its friends, for that I rate it 4 stars.
