Did anyone else enjoy this book as much as I did? It was on the best seller list so she must be rather well known. I picked this up out of curiosity one day and I was hooked. But how to describe it to someone else? The narrator is a fish-like creature with an incredibly expressive face. Simple dog and helper dog are my favorites...
f'rinstance, one of the dogs pukes and having only a few brain cells comes to the conclusion that magically it has learned to make MORE food.
It's a cartoon but the narrator covers a depressive episode very openly, so it becomes quite serious indeed, but not really sad...just matter of factly...Like having dogs that are dumb as rocks. This is a really enjoyable book for those of us who share a quirky somewhat twisted understanding of life.

This book is absolutely funny. Its basically a auto biogragraphy of he life with really crappy drawlings of hers. The only down side to this book is there are two sections that got really boring and sad to me. This book does swear, a lot. But if your looking for a good laugh go buy this book. :D

I recently finished reading Hyperbole and a Half by Allie Brosh. I was laughing uncontrollably the whole time I went through the book. She presents hilarious stories of growing up and describing occurrences in everyday life. What made the book so enjoyable is that the author and the situations she presents are very relatable. I especially enjoyed her chapters about her dogs. Each story also included simplistic cartoons. I thought the drawings made the stories funnier. It gave me a sense of reading a fun book from when I was a child. I would definitely recommend this book if you want a light, humorous read.
