lsmith36 's review for:
Big Mushy Happy Lump
by Sarah Andersen
I’m familiar with Anderson’s comics from spending copious amounts of time on the internet. This Facebook meme queen has w cute drawing style, with the most relatable situations I’ve seen. This book was cute, featuring a lot of comics I’ve already seen, but still find myself identifying with.
This collection was everything I expected it to be; heart-warming, funny, strangely poignant with the right amount of sarcasm. The only technicality I found was the random 10 or so pages towards the middle of the book that had Anderson’s own commentary. While I enjoyed her narrative I found it odd that it hadn’t been in the first 60-ish pages, and that the book didn’t end with her commentary. That all in itself was odd.
To summarize, this is the type of book you read to get out of a reading slump, or the one that you curl into a chair with while it’s raining. It isn’t challenging, and it could be a nice change from a heavier type of reading. Really, it seems to exist just for the sheer pleasure of it, and sometimes that’s all you need.
