#1 New York Times Bestseller

&;;Funny and smart as hell&;; (Bill Gates), Allie Brosh&;;s Hyperbole and a Half showcases her unique voice, leaping wit, and her ability to capture complex emotions with deceptively simple illustrations.

FROM THE PUBLISHER:
Every time Allie Brosh posts something new on her hugely popular blog Hyperbole and a Half the internet rejoices.

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, &;;The God of Cake,&;; &;;Dogs Don&;;t Understand Basic Concepts Like Moving,&;; and her astonishing, &;;Adventures in Depression,&;; and &;;Depression Part Two,&;; which have been hailed as some of the most insightful meditations on the disease ever written.

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.

FROM THE AUTHOR:
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:

Pictures
Words
Stories about things that happened to me
Stories about things that happened to other people because of me
Eight billion dollars*
Stories about dogs
The secret to eternal happiness*...
