Critics Review

A hilarious collection

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 *Fantastic, hilarious, emotional * Mayaland *You may have to push this book away for fear you’ll hurt yourself laughing, but its wisdom and humanity – no hyperbole here – are too magnetic to keep at bay for long – Mary Pols * People Magazine *Honest, poignant and ridiculously silly in all the best ways and I’m better for having read it. Plus, doggies! * Jenny Lawson, The Bloggess *One of the funniest sites on the Internet * salon.com *Hilarious and poignant and brilliantly illustrated. Check it out. The whole blog is inspired.” * Daily Dish *“Once I started reading Hyperbole and a Half, I found myself unable to stop—except to laugh uproariously. * boingboing.com *“Here’s a rough analogy: David Sedaris sets out to write a graphic memoir, but decides to use the MS Paint application on his computer rather than hire an artist… . [Brosh’s] naïve art plays brilliantly against dark comic themes.” * True/Slant *One of 2013’s biggest publishing successes … Quirky and captivating * Observer *
