This book is certainly entertaining and clever, but it features a lot of the same content you can view for free on the blog hyperbole and a half. I had been expecting more original content.

I laughed, I cried, I laughed while crying. Allie captured so many human moments (and dog moments) with a warmth and intimacy that I do not often find. She gave me insight to how people cope with depression. The stories spoke to me as a person and as a pet owner. I loved it and will recommend it to my friends who haven't read it yet.

Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. Heartfull, authentic, wry & witty. It's a combination of the comics from her blog and some I at least had not seen before, and I can see myself reading some of these again and again.

 Many, many books have me smiling or chuckling here and there. This one had me doing all kinds of laughing. Until I hit the depression portions. Brutally tough on self at times. A wonderfully unusual book, approach, with appropriately quirky illustrations. Highly recommended.

Best book that deals with depression that I've ever read (and I've read a lot!!). I love Allie Brosh and now I want to be her best friend. I laughed out loud and cried multiple times reading this, which is the best compliment I could give to a book. Hilarious, sad, introspective, bizarre, and ultimately made me feel a little less alone. I can't wait to read the follow up that was just published!
