Subjects like discrimnation, racism and others are very hard to read through in any book, but the author's unique brand of subtle humor injected a new life into the book from the start.Melissa Breen wrote: ↑02 Aug 2019, 12:10 I really enjoy when theres subtle humour throughout books, it makes it so much easier to read and can help lighten up books with really heavy subjects

It's actually quite inspiring in that respect.Ferdinand_otieno wrote: ↑06 Jul 2019, 05:11His style is unique and it converted this book to one of my favorites. I was always amused at how his perspective would draw a smile from me.Nisha Ward wrote: ↑05 Jul 2019, 19:55 I don't quite know how yo describe it but the author's style in general is quite humourous. Moments that should be serious in any other context, like his stories about his patients, tend to becoming amusing simply because he writes in such a personable, humourous way that you don't really notice until you're already smiling.

I think this was the best part about the humour in this book. Nothing really seemed to be meant to be funny, but it came across that way because of how the author thinks.Ferdinand_otieno wrote: ↑27 Jul 2019, 10:27 It is humorous how things that are completely logical to the author come off as funny. His way of convincing himself from committing suicide, however logical, comes off as comedic. His observation on ants not having the same problem after he saw crabs struggling to get out of a barrel is very logical, but it comes of as unintentional and original humor.

I found that creatively humorous too. Ants think logically and work together in teams of different capacities.BrittaniDJ wrote: ↑01 Jul 2019, 19:28 I found it kind of funny when little Frank was at the market looking at the crabs who tried and tried to get out of the baskets but could not, then he says that he is sure ants would have solved the problem. I found it such a funny comment. It absolutely makes sense, but just to even think that way, is not something I would have been able to come up with. I wonder what the difference is between ants and crabs. Are ants brains more developed? Or is it the team work? Or their ability to stick to surfaces they walk on?
