Allie is talented and really funny! check her blog http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com
This is my first "graphic novel"
I liked the stories from her childhood more than the rest
The only downside is that you can finish the whole book in an hour or two

So great. I love her humor and the way she looks at life.

This book includes a raw and real look at depression that also happens to be hilarious from start to finish.

I can really identify with the general sense of awkwardness and not wanting to do things that this book depicts.

I know for a fact that I cannot give this book justice but just know that it's very very funny, poignant even. I don't even know how Allie Brosh convinced publishers to make this book. And even though I cannot fully describe what Hyperbole and a Half is about, know that the Goose Story is my absolute favorite.

This was a fun and interesting read. Something a little different than what I normally pick up.

A book that deals with depression in a hilarious way. I didn't really know that could be done.
This was such a fun light hearted read in between lectures kind of book.
I didn't know about her blog until I read some of the reviews, will definitely follow it.
I would give it a higher rating except that I did not like how it was sort of scattered and I think a bit repetitive, also for me it sort of lost it's charm by the end.
But overall, an enjoyable read.

Yeah, it was ok. If you've never read her stuff, do check this out. If you have, probably you don't need to read the book.
I love Allie Brosh. I do. And I knew this was going to have a lot of stuff I'd already read in the blog (but ages ago! I waited so long to read this partly in hopes of forgetting that stuff so it'd be fresh again!). I think all I wanted was one solid LOL from a bit I didn't remember reading before. The goose story came close, but didn't get there. And the new introspective bits weren't as insightful as the posts on depression I'd already seen online.
So now I feel like I've let down someone I've never met because I didn't like Allie's book, but at least this feels like a problem she'd have sympathy for.
