Whilst it was perhaps a guaranteed like from me， him being my favourite comedian， Sloss once again hits the nail on the head with poignant reflections on family， friendships， love and toxic relationships。 Hands down one of the funniest books I've ever read。 Whilst it was perhaps a guaranteed like from me， him being my favourite comedian， Sloss once again hits the nail on the head with poignant reflections on family， friendships， love and toxic relationships。 Hands down one of the funniest books I've ever read。 。。。more

An absolute gem of a book。Aimed at the American market， a number of whom will pick it up will be disgusted， offended and appalled - good。。。。。I read this at a time when I was not feeling at my strongest - I was sad with life and angry at myself， more than anything， trying to live up to a picture I have in my head of who I am。。。。。 Unfortunately I appear to have drawn said picture and I am completely rubbish at drawing。This book had me crying with laughter， particularly in the intro and early chapt An absolute gem of a book。Aimed at the American market， a number of whom will pick it up will be disgusted， offended and appalled - good。。。。。I read this at a time when I was not feeling at my strongest - I was sad with life and angry at myself， more than anything， trying to live up to a picture I have in my head of who I am。。。。。 Unfortunately I appear to have drawn said picture and I am completely rubbish at drawing。This book had me crying with laughter， particularly in the intro and early chapters。 Daniel has a way with words， that， as a fellow self deprecating Scot speaks volumes to me。Daniel tries to teach us to forget being who we think we are or who we want to be and should concentrate on just being you， faults and all。 I need more of that talk in my life。。。。。 😂 。。。more

I received a digital ARC from NetGalley。I've watched a few of Sloss's specials and find him hilarious--his act involves verbally walking up to the electrified fence continuously， about to put his finger on it， but knowing when to pull back so that even when he's crude， or has contradictory statements ping pong back and forth--as comedians are want to do--he doesn't lose his audience。 He sets up the right amount of rapport with the audience that when he does tackle a serious topic--the death of a I received a digital ARC from NetGalley。I've watched a few of Sloss's specials and find him hilarious--his act involves verbally walking up to the electrified fence continuously， about to put his finger on it， but knowing when to pull back so that even when he's crude， or has contradictory statements ping pong back and forth--as comedians are want to do--he doesn't lose his audience。 He sets up the right amount of rapport with the audience that when he does tackle a serious topic--the death of a sister; a female friend who was sexually assaulted by someone he and his friends knew--you're with him， and stay with him， as he knows the right comment to toss in the middle to break the tension ever so slightly， while still staying serious。It's a gift that， unfortunately for him and some fellow comedians， doesn't always translate to the page。I couldn't stop laughing at the start of the book， but then the repetition of a particular idea over and over （how great his parents are， whether people should be parents overall） lost me， as the crude became cruder， and then cringe-worthy， all for sake of filling pages。 The book could've been better edited， but then it would've been half its size。 Some really great jokes get buried in a pile of muck that after 20% I couldn't keep sifting through。 It's taking an hour-long special and stretching it out to a 2+ hour read。 I'm kinda disappointed。 。。。more

This book was received as an ARC from Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group in exchange for an honest review。 Opinions and thoughts expressed in this review are completely my own。From beginning to end， the entire book was non-stop hysterical。 I can totally relate to David as he "dissects" every particular relationship he or his friends have ever been in and he can tell whether or not to end it。 Many scenarios in the book， I had a lot of a-ha moments and they justified me ending the many difficult rel This book was received as an ARC from Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group in exchange for an honest review。 Opinions and thoughts expressed in this review are completely my own。From beginning to end， the entire book was non-stop hysterical。 I can totally relate to David as he "dissects" every particular relationship he or his friends have ever been in and he can tell whether or not to end it。 Many scenarios in the book， I had a lot of a-ha moments and they justified me ending the many difficult relationships I had。 Our community will not only relate to this book， but it will be a much needed comedy to read during this pandemic。 We will consider adding this title to our Non-Fiction collection at our library。 That is why we give this book 5 stars。 。。。more

Date reviewed: August 5， 2020When life for the entire universe and planet turns on its end and like everyone else you "have nothing to do" while your place of work is closed and you are continuing to be in #COVID19 #socialisolation， superspeed readers like me can read 250+ pages/hour， so yes， I have read the book … and many more today。 And it is way too hot to go outside， so why not sit in from of the blasting a/c and read and review books？？ BTW - stay home and save lives！！！！！！！！ No tan is worth Date reviewed: August 5， 2020When life for the entire universe and planet turns on its end and like everyone else you "have nothing to do" while your place of work is closed and you are continuing to be in #COVID19 #socialisolation， superspeed readers like me can read 250+ pages/hour， so yes， I have read the book … and many more today。 And it is way too hot to go outside， so why not sit in from of the blasting a/c and read and review books？？ BTW - stay home and save lives！！！！！！！！ No tan is worth dying for。I requested and received a temporary digital Advance Reader Copy of this book from #NetGalley， the publisher and the author in exchange for an honest review。 From the publisher， as I do not repeat the contents or story of books in reviews， I let them do it as they do it better than I do 😸。One of this generation's hottest and boldest young comedians， Daniel Sloss presents a transgressive and hilarious analysis of all of our dysfunctional relationships and attempts to point us in the vague direction of sanity。Daniel Sloss's stand-up comedy engages， enrages， offends， unsettles， educates， comforts， and gets audiences roaring with laughter--all at the same time。 In his groundbreaking specials， seen on Netflix and HBO， he has brilliantly tackled everything from male toxicity and friendship to love， romance， and marriage - and claims （with the data to back it up） that his on-stage laser-like dissection of relationships has single-handedly caused more than 200 divorces and 95，000 breakups。Now， in his first book， he picks up where his specials left off and goes after every conceivable kind of relationship--with one's country （Daniel's country is Scotland）， with America， with lovers， ex-lovers， ex-lovers who you hate， ex-lovers who hate you， with parents， with best friends （male and female）， not-best friends， with children， with siblings， and even with our own mortality。 In Everyone You Hate is Going to Die， every human connection gets the brutally funny （and unfailingly incisive） Sloss treatment as he illuminates the ways in which all of our relationships are fragile and ridiculous and awful--but also valuable and meaningful and important。Okay， I have never heard of Daniel Sloss but the title of the book grabbed me。 The book was not funny， rude and obnoxious。 I barely got through the first couple of pages before I put it down。I cannot recommend it to 。。。 anyone。 。。。more
