A review by jaxyway
Hyperbole and a Half by Allie Brosh

4.0

I have never read or heard about the blog by the same name that made the author famous, but decided to take a gamble after reading the glowing reviews. I’m not generally a huge fan of memoirs, and I really do not dig books with illustrations (even good illustrations!), but I adored this one. Especially the chapters about her dogs, which had me laughing out loud. If you have a dog, particularly a dumb dog, you should read this. If you’ve ever experienced hopeless depression that no one around you can relate to, you should read this. If you’ve ever been attacked or had your home invaded by a goose, you definitely should read this.

HOWEVER – I went to the author’s blog after having read this novel, and it seems that a lot of the chapters in this book are from her blog. Fans of the blog may want to read reviews from other fans before buying the book.
