Hyperbole and a Half: Unfortunate Situations, Flawed Coping Mechanisms, Mayhem, and Other Things That Happened

FROM THE PUBLISHER:<br>Every time Allie Brosh posts something new on her hugely popular blog Hyperbole and a Half the internet rejoices.<br> <br>Touching, absurd, and darkly comic, Allie Brosh's highly anticipated book <i>Hyperbole and a Half </i>showcases her unique voice, leaping wit, and her ability to capture complex emotions with deceptively simple illustrations.<br> <br>This full-color, beautifully illustrated edition features more than fifty percent new content, with ten never-before-seen essays and one wholly revised and expanded piece as well as classics from the website like, &quot;The God of Cake,&quot; &quot;Dogs Don't Understand Basic Concepts Like Moving,&quot; and her astonishing, &quot;Adventures in Depression,&quot; and &quot;Depression Part Two,&quot; which have been hailed as some of the most insightful meditations on the disease ever written.<br> <br>Brosh's debut marks the launch of a major new American humorist who will surely make even the biggest scrooge or snob laugh. We dare you not to.<br> <br>FROM THE AUTHOR:<br>This is a book I wrote. Because I wrote it, I had to figure out what to put on the back cover to explain what it is. I tried to write a long, third-person summary that would imply how great the book is and also sound vaguely authoritative - like maybe someone who isn't me wrote it - but I soon discovered that I'm not sneaky enough to pull it off convincingly. So I decided to just make a list of things that are in the book:<br><br>Pictures<br>Words<br>Stories about things that happened to me<br>Stories about things that happened to other people because of me<br>Eight billion dollars*<br>Stories about dogs<br>The secret to eternal happiness*<br><br>*These are lies. Perhaps I have underestimated my sneakiness!
