Entertaining and truly laugh out loud funny。 And she captures the essence of dogs and cats so well。 Loved it。

I didn’t enjoy this as much as Hyperbole and a Half - it seemed really erratic and while it deals with hard topics， it didn’t strike the right note for me。Cw: language

This book was so funny it made me laugh so much。 It also touched on very emotional topics in a relatable way。 Ironically bought this the day after my sister passed based on the cover and when I read into it SPOILER she mentions her dead sister and it was really what I needed to read。 I loved this book and would recommend it！ My friend currently has my copy

It was good and funny almost all of the time but every once in a while I felt myself reading just to finish it。

This book was somewhat darker than I was expecting， but I was aware that the author had experienced a mental health crisis since publishing her first book years ago。 There's still a lot of humor and relatable content， but I wouldn't say it's uplifting or that she has reached catharsis。 This is reflection rather than criticism but just know that even if most of the words and pictures are still simple， the topics aren't。 I really hope things continue to get better for her。 This book was somewhat darker than I was expecting， but I was aware that the author had experienced a mental health crisis since publishing her first book years ago。 There's still a lot of humor and relatable content， but I wouldn't say it's uplifting or that she has reached catharsis。 This is reflection rather than criticism but just know that even if most of the words and pictures are still simple， the topics aren't。 I really hope things continue to get better for her。 。。。more

Weird ramblings about life from Allie Brosh with child-like illustrations。 Maybe I just don't get her humor but this book was hard for me to read。 It didn't hold my interest。 I dig the drawings and the colors she used but some of the stories had me skimming the page。 She covers her life from child to grown woman writing about little quirky things。 She's very curious which leads to examining things thoroughly， almost to the point of obsession。。。which does lend itself to this kind of book。 But I j Weird ramblings about life from Allie Brosh with child-like illustrations。 Maybe I just don't get her humor but this book was hard for me to read。 It didn't hold my interest。 I dig the drawings and the colors she used but some of the stories had me skimming the page。 She covers her life from child to grown woman writing about little quirky things。 She's very curious which leads to examining things thoroughly， almost to the point of obsession。。。which does lend itself to this kind of book。 But I just didn't "get" it a lot of the time。 It had me turn back a page thinking I must have missed something or turned two pages at once。。。。because things didn't make any sense to me。 Totally my opinion and may not be yours。 。。。more

Solutions and Other Problems has been one of my favorite books I’ve read as of late。 As somebody who’s not a big reader myself， this book was delightful。 It is very relatable， has hilarious pictures that are very effective， and the book is generally well written but still conversational and informal which makes it interesting and funny。One of the reasons this book was very entertaining for me to read mostly because of how relatable it was。 Especially in regards to the weird or embarrassing thing Solutions and Other Problems has been one of my favorite books I’ve read as of late。 As somebody who’s not a big reader myself， this book was delightful。 It is very relatable， has hilarious pictures that are very effective， and the book is generally well written but still conversational and informal which makes it interesting and funny。One of the reasons this book was very entertaining for me to read mostly because of how relatable it was。 Especially in regards to the weird or embarrassing things that Allie Brosh writes about。 I， personally， was a very weird kid and I find it charming to hear how weird other people were as kids。 And Allie did some weird things as a kid。 For example， she became obsessed with the goal to shove her entire three year old body into a bucket and ended up getting stuck。 Multiple times。 As she said， “The only thing worse than getting trapped in the same bucket nineteen times is surrender。” Another example was when she was three years old and became obsessed with her neighbor and began stalking him for simply existing。 She was absolutely mind-blown by the idea of her neighbor simply existing and realizing real people lived in all the houses around her。 I probably wouldn’t remember something like this exactly， but I could absolutely see myself having some sort of epiphany like this and doing something weird like that about it。 These things are kind of refreshing to read about from somebody else’s perspective because I remember when I was little thinking I was the weirdest kid in the world who wasn’t capable of making friends。 This made my inner child feel a lot less alone and allowed me to laugh at myself too along the way of it。 tThe illustrations in this book are very unique。 By simply looking at the front and back cover of this book， you can get a general sense of what these images would look like。 They look like they were all mouse-drawn on Microsoft Paint and are gloriously awful。 But even while the artistic ability may be lacking， the pictures still show a lot of really effective emotion that goes along with whatever emotions or ideas Allie was trying to convey in a way that’s very relatable and funny。 I found myself audibly laughing in public at some of the drawings in this book。 It’s also refreshing to see an author with realistic drawing abilities。 Not every author is a Picasso， and that’s okay。 Not every person in general is one。Something interesting is that you don’t necessarily have to read Allie Brosh’s first book before this one to understand this one。 While I’m glad I did because it gave a little bit more context of who Allie is as a person and the way she thinks （and also that book is equally， if not more， entertaining）， I don't think you’d really have to to understand what’s going on in this book。 The stories are unrelated to the ones stated in the first book and there’s no odd references that you miss out on from the first book when reading this one。 The stories are just as entertaining and interesting on their own as they are with having read the first book， Hyperbole and a Half。 Another thing I love about this book series was that even though this book is written in an informal way with swear words and dark humor and a lot of silly things， the way that Allie Brosh describes things is still poetic in a way。 There are a lot of metaphors and such that are interesting and not by any means cliche。 An example of this is when she talks about the little girl who lives next door that guards Allie’s door every day like a bridge troll whose only riddle is asking every day if she wants to see her room。 Another good example is when talking about death， she shows the “mortality bus” and asks where it’s going to go next。 All in all， I loved this book。 It’s interesting， unique， avoids cliches， and hilarious。 Reading this book feels like having a conversation with a friend。 A brutally honest one， at that。 I’d highly recommend anybody with a funny bone or any sense of millennial humor to read it。 Even though I usually have a hard time getting myself to sit down and read a book， I loved reading this in my free time and genuinely looked forward to it。 。。。more

Funny， reflective and absolutely bizarre。 I loved reading this book！ What happens if you try to imagine your dog's point of view when you're throwing a birthday party for it。 But not as a fleeting though， but as if you're sitting down and having to go into deep though and writing about it。 How nonsensical rituals of candles， loud noises， and the concept of celebrating time。 These are the types of thoughts explored in the book along with ones about depression， grief and being in a child's mind。 Funny， reflective and absolutely bizarre。 I loved reading this book！ What happens if you try to imagine your dog's point of view when you're throwing a birthday party for it。 But not as a fleeting though， but as if you're sitting down and having to go into deep though and writing about it。 How nonsensical rituals of candles， loud noises， and the concept of celebrating time。 These are the types of thoughts explored in the book along with ones about depression， grief and being in a child's mind。 。。。more

I can't recall both laughing out loud and crying so hard at so many points within the same book。 This did everything for my heart and my brain。 Will read again。 I can't recall both laughing out loud and crying so hard at so many points within the same book。 This did everything for my heart and my brain。 Will read again。 。。。more

Enlightening！ What I needed to read。 And literally laughing in one chapter to crying my eyes out in the next to laughing my ass off （okay maybe that one isn’t literal） in another。

Hysterisk morosam， tar opp viktige og såre emner på ein lettvint og fin måte。 Grein av latter og andre ting！

More somber than her first book， Brosh wrestles with a lot of heavy things。 Some of the chapters end not with a snappy punchline but just with。。。an end。 Life is like that。 Her signature skill of capturing emotions and expressions on the page， of extracting humor from the weird， the tiny moments， the sheer ridiculousness of life and brains and humans remains。

Some of it was funny。 Bit sad。 Sometimes it was hard to follow her train of thought。

Not as hopeful as Hyperbole and a Half; much more raw。 Every time I think about the chapter Losing， I fall apart。

I've read this book three times since purchasing it。 Every time， I am delighted with Brosh's succinct dissection of the oddities of "normal life。" This book crackles with real emotional weight， joy， love， and a never-ending commitment to be one's truest self。 I will be re-reading soon。 I've read this book three times since purchasing it。 Every time， I am delighted with Brosh's succinct dissection of the oddities of "normal life。" This book crackles with real emotional weight， joy， love， and a never-ending commitment to be one's truest self。 I will be re-reading soon。 。。。more

I laughed a lot， teared up some， and felt like someone in the world understood the harder to understand parts of my brain and experience。 It was a salve。

I was given Allie Brosh's Solutions and Other Problems by a friend and was not quite sure what to expect。 The book itself is labeled "humor，" and Goodreads nominated it for Humor Book of the year for 2020。 However， after reading it--and I quite enjoyed it by the way--I want to advocate for a genre of "illustrated biography" or a space in which a book that relies on 1，678 drawings/pictures （by the author's count） is not automatically placed in the "comic" or "humor" bucket。 Why？ Because Solutions I was given Allie Brosh's Solutions and Other Problems by a friend and was not quite sure what to expect。 The book itself is labeled "humor，" and Goodreads nominated it for Humor Book of the year for 2020。 However， after reading it--and I quite enjoyed it by the way--I want to advocate for a genre of "illustrated biography" or a space in which a book that relies on 1，678 drawings/pictures （by the author's count） is not automatically placed in the "comic" or "humor" bucket。 Why？ Because Solutions and Other Problems is an autobiographical work that tackles some decidedlyunhumorous topics such as divorce， self-sabotage， the death of a sibling， struggling to like or befriend oneself， and deciding that the sure-fire way to avoid losing is to not try at all， as a few examples。 It's not all profoundly serious stuff， but there's a great deal of serious reflection and revelation that is softened by the quirky art and light tone with resulting takeaways such as "。。。no one should have to feel like a pointless little weirdo alone" （p。 514）。 I greatly appreciate the fact that what I had perhaps mistakenly imagined was going to be a 500-page humorous read has given me so much to ponder。 Because of this last fact， I elevated what I'd envisioned as a 3 1/2-star review （come on Goodreads， the people want half stars！！！） to a 4-star rating。 。。。more

This was probably even better than her first book！ She gets into some really dark and deep thoughts and feelings in a really relatable and super funny way。 She tackles depression， loneliness， anxiety， grief， relationships， funny pet stories， and more in this graphic memoir and I loved it！

This was a really interesting story。 I liked reading it， and I enjoyed the art that went along with it。 There was some really good humorous aspects that I really appreciated。 I think I might go and read her other works because I would be interesting in seeing what her other stuff is like。 It was definitely a neat collection。
