Hyperbole and a Half

Hyperbole and a Half is a blog made book about life as an introvert and sometimes a selfish person.

This very comical book with hand/Paint drawn pictures accurately describes many differences feelings that go through many peoples heads.

I first picked this book up from a friend when I was trying to figure out what depression was like. I don't have depression, but many of my friends do and to try to understand what they are going through. I was directed to this book. So originally I read the chapters called Depression 1 and 2 and was very much enlightened. Allie Brosh explains very well, with humor as a bit of swearing, how devastating it can be.

This second read (a full read this time) I found that I enjoyed the rest of it. There were humorous chapters about her dogs  and dealing with things you can't rally change. Dogs are a great metaphor for her life and the lack of control she feels she has.

I'd suggest this book to pretty much all extroverts who have introverted friends. Certain chapters would be more helpful for understanding, but they are all entertaining.

My only caution would be the language. She tends to swear a lot more than I originally though.
