"Big Mushy Happy Lump" by Sarah Anderson [Book review]

Content

Sarah Andersen's hugely popular, world-famous Sarah's Scribbles comics are for those of us who boast bookstore-ready bodies and Netflix-ready hair, who are always down for all-night reading-in-bed parties and extremely exclusive after-hour one-person music festivals.

In addition to the most recent Sarah's Scribbles fan favorites and dozens of all-new comics, this volume contains illustrated personal essays on Sarah's real-life experiences with anxiety, career, relationships and other adulthood challenges that will remind readers of Allie Brosh's Hyperbole and a Half and Jenny Lawson's Let's Pretend This Never Happened. The same uniquely frank, real, yet humorous and uplifting tone that makes Sarah's Scribbles so relatable blooms beautifully in this new longer form.

My opinion

This book is collection of Little comics by Sarah Andersen, which one can relate to. It was like she was writing down your own experience and also it was great reading it because you realise, that you're not the only one in this world who feels like this.
Besides the feeling of relating to the Little comics, I also had a feeling of joy while reading them. There were many parts where I had to take a picture of the page and send it to someone because I wanted to share those funny comics with others, so I could laugh with them.
I really went through the book very fast. I think it would take me about two hours if I read the whole book at once but I didn't to it because I wanted to have more of the book. Now, after having finished it, I really like going through it and just read a few comics, that I really liked.
Also, I recommend the book if you like to laugh and if you also do understand sarcasm.

Rating

I rate this book with 5 out of 5 stars, and I really want to read the other "Sarah's Scribbles" collections.

"The Love Hypothesis" von Ali Hazelwood [Rezension]

"HYPOTHESIS: When given a choice between A (a slightly inconveniencing situation) and B (a colossal shitshow with devastating consequences), I will inevitably end up selecting B."* Inhalt As a third-year Ph.D. candidate, Olive Smith doesn’t believe in lasting romantic relationships–but her best friend does, and that’s what got her into this situation. Convincing Anh that Olive is dating and well on her way to a happily ever after was always going to take more than hand-wavy Jedi mind tricks: Scientists require proof. So, like any self-respecting biologist, Olive panics and kisses the first man she sees. That man is none other than Adam Carlsen, a young hotshot professor–and well-known ass. Which is why Olive is positively floored when Stanford’s reigning lab tyrant agrees to keep her charade a secret and be her fake boyfriend. But when a big science conference goes haywire, putting Olive’s career on the Bunsen burner, Adam surprises her again with his unyielding support and e

"Language of War, Language of Peace: Palestine, Israel and the Search for Justice" von Raja Shehadeh [Rezension]

Bild
"How odd, having separate roads for different ethnic groups, as well as different categories of land where different rules apply, and yet as I drove along I was fully aware of where I could and could not go, automatically taking the circuitous routes that confound the geography of the region." * Inhalt Award-winning author Raja Shehadeh explores the politics of language and the language of politics in the Israeli Palestine conflict, reflecting on the walls that they create - legal and cultural - that confine today's Palestinians just like the physical borders, checkpoints and the so called 'Separation Barrier'. The peace process has been ground to a halt by twists of language and linguistic chicanery that has degraded the word 'peace' itself. No one even knows what the word might mean now for the Middle East. So to give one example of many, Israel argued that the omission of the word 'the' in one of the UN Security Council's resolutions meant t
