Siddhartha reviewed Hyperbole and a Half by Allie Brosh
Review of 'Hyperbole and a Half' on 'GoodReads'
5 stars
I have a special affinity towards people/books/shows/films which make me laugh at the horrible human experience, while at the same time, allowing me to introspect and be amazed at how clear and precise their understanding of the self has been. It's the reason I adore watching a horse whine about how selfish and pathetic he is in Bojack Horseman, or to see Rick treat those he love in a shitty way in a misguided attempt at feeling less alone in Rick and Morty.
In short, I love self-deprecating humor and this book had a lot of it. A lot!
Favorite chapters: Depression and Identity - parts 1 and 2.
