Oh, Allie Brosch. You are such a strange being. Much of what is in this book is pulled directly from her now-rarely-updated blog, but I'm pretty sure there are some new ones too (or at least ones that I don't remember from the blog). As with any book of short stories, which is essentially what this is, some stories are better than others. There were some that were so funny I laughed until I couldn't read any more. Others were just moderately amusing.
For anyone who doesn't know (though you can take a peek at the blog to see), Allie illustrates her stories with crude pictures created in MS Paint; the cover of the book is her own, um, art. So I guess the best description of this book is that it's a collection of short stories in graphic novel form. And what I love about short stories is that you can easily read one or two when it's convenient. And this was a most excellent way to end the evening and get ready for sleep.
Thanks, K!
