This collection of existing work from Allie's blog (and some which I am sure are new works, because I have obsessively read and re-read the Hyperbole and a Half blog a bunch of times across the years and they didn't ring a bell) strikes the same perfect note as the original blog- half hilarious observations about every day life and the trials of adulthood, and half serious examination of the same themes. The last entry in the book felt off-key compared to the rest of it, and I think dragged the book down a little, but I know whenever I am bummed out there is nothing like reading about the murderous goose or Allie's grandfathers cake to get me laughing again. 
 I could tell reading through that some of the art had been re-drawn, and for some reason that really bothered me? Especially in the probably best known of Allie's work, 'This is Why I'll Never Be an Adult', all of the pictures had been re-drawn so that they were just slightly different, possibly because the style was minutely different from the other art in the book. It was such a tiny thing, but it really nagged at me and felt 'wrong', like listening to the US audio books for Harry Potter and knowing that something is amiss. 
 Regardless, it's lovely to hold one of my favourite pieces of the internet- even if I'll still have to visit the blog so I can read about the 'alot'.
