Everyone's a Aliebn When Ur a Aliebn Too
by Jomny Sun
REREAD AUGUST 2018:
This book is something special. I don't really read when I'm sick and it doesn't really matter how sick I am, I just don't. But this book is perfect for when I'm sick because it gives me both an existential crisis and a hug. And honestly, I definitely need both of that sometimes. Maybe everyone does.
Anyway, I don't really have anything to say I haven't already written below but if you want something adorable, beautifully drawn and funny, this is it.
FIRST READ(S) AUGUST 2017:
This is probably the most adorable book I've ever read. It's kind of a graphic novel or a comic or something like that so reading it doesn't take long at all (I've already read it twice or two and a half times) but it's so much fun and makes me so emotional.
This is a story about an alien who is sent to earth to research humans. He finds all kinds of animals and other creatures and talks to them. They become friends and the alien sometimes feels lonely and sad, but he's also happy and hopeful. The characters range from the anxious egg to the stressed beaver and they are all adorable and lovely and show all kinds of different emotions we humans also have.
Even though none of the characters is human, the emotions they have and the topics they talk about are very human and very relatable and they all made me so happy, sad, inspired or hopeful and sometimes I just want to cry because the book is so pretty and lovely and important.
Lin-Manuel Miranda said about the book (the quote is on the back) that you should read it "if you want to feel more alive" and I think that summarises my feelings pretty neatly.
I also never thought I'd relate so much to an egg or an onion but you learn new things every day.
