Summary

From one of today’s hottest young comedians, a transgressive and hilarious deep-dive into his favorite subject: relationships

Daniel Sloss’s comedy engages, enrages, offends, unsettles, educates, comforts, and gets audiences roaring with laughter–all at the same time。 He has two Netflix comedy specials: DARK, a brilliant, laugh-out-loud meditation on our relationship with death; and Jigsaw, which needles apart the ideas of love, romantic relationships, and marriage–and according to Sloss, singlehandedly caused 160 divorces and 95,000 break-ups (he’s got the tweets to back up those numbers)。 His HBO special, Daniel Sloss Live: X, is a miraculous 85 minutes on the topic of male toxicity。

Now, in his first book, he picks up where Jigsaw and his other specials left off, and goes after every conceivable kind of relationship–with one’s country (Daniel’s 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, and with siblings。 In Everyone You Hate Is Going to Die, every relationship gets the hilarious, brutal (but always incisive) Sloss treatment as he explains why all of our relationships are fragile and ridiculous and awful–but, just maybe, also valuable and meaningful。

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

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

I had high expectation for many laughs and the title grabbed me。 This was too crude even for me and I like inappropriate sarcastic humor。 Sorry, not sorry, not recommending this。Thanks to Netgalley, Daniel Sloss and William Heinemann for an ARC in exchange for an honest review。Available: 5/25/21
