Hyperbole and a Half
by: Allie Brosh
This is a book I wrote. Because I wrote it, I had to figure out what to put on the back cover to explain how great the book is and also sounds vaguely authoritative--like maybe someone who isn't me wrote it--but I soon discovered that I'm not sneaky enough to pull it off convincingly.
"...some might say the book is full of stories..."
"...It could be claimed that this has more pictures than the dictionary..."
"...IS GREAT BOOK."
So I decided to just make a list of things that are in the book:
• pictures.
• words.
• stories about things that happened to me.
• stories about things that happened to other people because of me.
• Eight billion dollars.*
• Stories about dogs.
• The secret to eternal happiness.*
*These are lies. Perhaps I have underestimated my sneakiness. {cover copy}
This book is hilarious. I cried from laughing a LOT. I laughed practically every page for the first 50 pages. It has been a while since I read this, so I don't have more specific info to say, really. So this is a tiny review. But I was so pleasantly surprised by this book. I was sent it in a Glom box and figured it would be quick and easy to get a completed book under my belt with this one, and I was right. It was utterly devourable!
Usually I highlight favorite quotes here, but you need the pictures to get some of the quotes, and honestly I would have highlighted like half the book, so, I'll just say to get this book. You need this book.
