Descripción
Hyperbole and A Half is a blog written by a 20-something American girl called Allie Brosh. She tells fantastically funny, wise stories about the mishaps of her everyday life, with titles like 'Why Dogs Don't Understand Basic Concepts Like Moving' and 'The God of Cake'. She accompanies these with naive drawings using Paint on her PC.
Brosh’s website receives millions of visitors a month and hundreds of thousands of per day.
Now her full-colour debut book chronicles the many “learning experiences” Brosh has endured as a result of her own character flaws. It includes stories about her rambunctious childhood; the highs and mostly lows of owning a mentally challenged dog; and a moving and darkly comic account of her struggles with depression.
Poignant and uproarious - think Cyanide and Happiness but with story-lines and dogs.

"You may have to push this book away for fear you'll hurt yourself laughing, but its wisdom and humanity – no hyperbole here – are too magnetic to keep at bay for long"

"A hilarious collection" * Mashable * "Will certainly help you, should you perhaps decide to indulge in a spot of "self-gifting" in this instance, survive Christmas with your more crazed relatives" -- Rachel Cooke * Observer * "Fantastic, hilarious, emotional" * Mayaland * "You may have to push this book away for fear you'll hurt yourself laughing, but its wisdom and humanity - no hyperbole here - are too magnetic to keep at bay for long" -- Mary Pols * People Magazine * "Honest, poignant and ridiculously silly in all the best ways and I'm better for having read it. Plus, doggies!" * Jenny Lawson, The Bloggess *

Opiniones de nuestros clientes
If books could be compared to food, classics would be healthy gourmet three-course meals, Shakespeare plays--expensive Whole Foods snacks, romance/adventure contemporaries would be guilty-pleasure takeaways, and this book would be rich death-by-chocolate cake: super-sweet and rich and endorphin-inducing, and gone all too quickly and full of empty calories. Yet still the best thing you've eaten in days and totally worth it.
This book was a perfect mixture of hilarious and the feels, pictures and text, a very light read that also includes some heavy cream and dark chocolate. I loved it, and I hope Allie will write a sequel.ver más
