Description
Hyperbole and A Half is a blog and webcomic written by a 20-something American girl called Allie Brosh. She tells fantastically funny, wise stories about the mishaps of her everyday life, with titles like 'Why Dogs Don't Understand Basic Concepts Like Moving' and 'The God of Cake'..
Brosh's website receives millions of visitors a month and hundreds of thousands per day. Now her full-colour debut book chronicles the many 'learning experiences' Brosh has endured as a result of her own character flaws. It includes stories about her rambunctious childhood; the highs and mostly lows of owning a mentally challenged dog; and a moving and darkly comic account of her struggles with depression.

What I really liked about this book was the balance of pictures and text. It's funny written, absolutely adorable, trashy drawn in a way that nobody cares about how it looks because it weirdly fits so well with the funniness of the book. There are parts that were absolutely sad – and stayed sad. Which is a good thing because it gave the book the depth it needed to be taken seriously. That you could see that you could lighten up even the worst and saddest story if you let it be for some time (Okay, this is getting way too deep – let's move on). Loved it, would recommend it and also would read it again!
Bloody brilliant! I absolutely loved this book! It was so funny and literally made me laugh out loud at several occasions (note: do not read in public if you tend to laugh like a maniac at funnily written/drawn stuff). The drawings were so trashy and looked so "bad" that they made the story even more funny than it already was. At some parts the story was weirdly relatable to me (especially the part about rules)! Oh and only halfway through did I realize that she's the one who drew the "do all the things" meme. You're a legend Allie! Would definitely recommend if you want to read something lighthearted, funny and quick :)
