*THE NO.1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER*

For the first time in seven years, Allie Brosh, the creator of the immensely popular blog 'Hyperbole and a Half' and #1 New York Times bestselling author, returns with her new collection.

Solutions and Other Problems includes humorous stories from Allie Brosh's childhood; the adventures of her very bad animals; merciless dissection of her own character flaws; incisive essays on grief, loneliness, and powerlessness; as well as reflections on the absurdity of modern life.

This full-colour, beautifully illustrated edition features all-new material with more than 1,600 pieces of art. Solutions and Other Problems marks the return of a beloved American humourist who has "the observational skills of a scientist, the creativity of an artist, and the wit of a comedian" (Bill Gates).

Praise for Allie Brosh's Hyperbole and a Half:

'A hilarious collection' Mashable

'Will certainly help you, should you perhaps decide to indulge in a spot of "self-gifting" in this instance, survive Christmas with your more crazed relatives' Rachel Cooke, Observer

'It's impossible not to warm to cartoonist and blogger Allie. If she doesn't get to you with her funny childhood anecdotes (eating an entire birthday cake) then her honest reflections on depression will' Grazia

I am so sad. Solutions and Other Problems is the biggest disappointment of the year for me bookwise. When I saw that Allie Brosh had a new book coming out I got so excited, because I personally connected with Hyperbole and a Half and was able to emphatize with her. But with the second book I never found a connection and only chuckled a few times.

At 23% of this book (I‘ve read it as an eBook) I would have given „Solutions and other problems“ not more than 1-2 stars because I‘ve felt that it was messy and not funny, simply weird. Now, having finished, I later read stories that I got more, understood better and found funny. I started reading thinking that it was supposed to be funny only, because I remember „Hyperbole and a Half“ to be very funny and entertaining. Now I realize that thinking so was a mistake. Yes, „Solutions and other problems“ is funny but it‘s not it‘s sole purpose. It deals with a lot and Allie Brosh tries to make light of a lot of dark situations. I got to see the person behind the book and with that a sense of reality within this colorful chaos that is „Solutions and other problems“.

Some guy in a viking helmet and a furcoat started storming the capitol and I asked myself "WHAT THE F*CK IS GOING ON?" so I grabbed a book from my shelf to get distracted. Soon as I read the first chapters I asked myself "WHAT THE F*CK IS GOING ON?" But this time it was in a good way.

Not quite as good as the first book imo, but still relatable and hilarious.
