howlinglibraries 's review for:

Hyperbole and a Half by Allie Brosh
5.0

I started following Allie's blog back in early 2010, shortly after it launched, and completely fell in love with her sense of humor. I was so delighted when this book released... and then she fell off the face of the planet, more or less. I don't fault her. I know depression is a bitch. I just like picking this book up and rereading it every now and again when I'm missing her content. At an age where I felt so incredibly alone in my depression, Allie put my feelings into words that left teenaged me somehow simultaneously destroyed and ecstatic. She's hilarious, sure, but honestly, the gold in this book comes from her words about depression and how much it can ruin you. I dunno, this review's a short little mess compared to what I normally post, but Hyperbole and a Half is one of those things you've just gotta experience for yourself.
