It keeps these things as it goes along but the tone shifts to something heavier and more serious. I didn't expect a book with cute animals to make me grapple with my life and the possible end of days but here we are! I highly recommend, it's short and sweet. ( ) (Full disclosure: I received a free electronic ARC of this book for review through Netgalley.) Initially, I WILL NOT DIE ALONE feels a lot like a compendium of cute, motivational comics in the vein of chibird (e.g., LOADING PENGUIN HUGS) or wawawiwa (WHEN SHARKS ATTACK WITH KINDNESS). The book's opening act is chock full of encouraging strips, like "I am enough" and "I am going to eat this like no one is watching," all accompanied by anthropomorphized animals for that extra adorable factor. But shit gets real, real fast when a stargazing mole pursuing his passion for astronomy discovers that an asteroid is headed straight for earth. If this sounds grim, that's because IT IS. But White and Bennett still manage to find hope at the end of the world. (Well, for some of us, anyway. Spoiler alert: the cockroach barrista does not die at all.) It's a jarring, unexpected juxtaposition of charm and terror that, weirdly, works. https://www.flickr.com/photos/smiteme/51487477686/in/datetaken-public/ Also?

"Dera White's I Will Not Die Alone is a hilarious, feel-good story about the end of the world. Featuring illustrations by Joe Bennett, it is a story full of realistic self-love affirmations for all of us who are just trying to get by, until we die. "It's funny, it's dark, and there's a lion wearing pants. If you only read one more book before the world ends, make it this one."-Brooke Barker, New York Times bestselling author of Sad Animal Facts "Oh man. This is a sweet yet sad, heartwarming yet heartbreaking read. I loved it! And it's so wonderfully funny!" -Martin Starr "I Will Not Die Alone is a delightful and necessary hand-hold from a friend that steadies your pulse in the face of ultimate anxiety. Joe Bennett presents the finite and the infinite through a deeply optimistic lens that's far from cloying and makes you feel really good inside. His characters are relatable, funny, and rich with detail in a snapshot." -Sunita Mani "I Will Not Die Alone, is poignant, smart, and oddly both a little alarming and comforting. This book is a must read for anyone trying to survive through this decade and will have you laughing through your tears." -Loryn Brantz, bestselling author of Feminist Baby "Joe Bennett always knows how to find the depth in the shallow things, bringing our attention along with his to see what's been profound all along, right there, in the profane." -Brad Neely"-- No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
