Hyperbole and A Half




Hyperbole And A Half by Allie Brosh
369 Pages
 
This book is bizarre but funny.  It’s partially in a graphic format and partially text.  The stories she tells about her life are funny and easy to relate to, although getting into it is odd, because each story is just a segment of something that happened in her life.  There is no apparent order to them.  Chronologically it skips around from childhood to adulthood and there’s no segues from one section to the next.  She has a lot of stories about how dumb her dogs are and how she can’t train them, and stories about how she wants to be a good person and tries to fool herself into believing that she is but really underneath she’s not.  This book started as an online blog and anyone who’s seen and liked the blog will obviously like the book.  I think that if you were the type of person who liked The Far Side, you might like this book.
