He will read parts out loud that he thinks are cool or funny

My husband purchased this book for our nine year old son since he is interested in science. At first, I was skeptical that he would be interested in reading it, but my husband assured me the reviews on Amazon were positive. Dad was on the right track because it was a huge hit! My son is a deep thinker, and this book has given him even more interesting ideas to think about. He will read parts out loud that he thinks are cool or funny, and he'll bring up some of the things he's read about in the book for discussion, so I know he's getting something out of it! I would definitely recommend this to science loving kids, and I would purchase it again as a gift for someone like that.

He says this book is fantastic because "it has so many funny comics." Sometimes, we'll just hear him laughing to himself from another room and we know that must mean he's reading Big Nate!

'Heart and Brain: An Awkward Yeti Collection' by Nick Seluk is a laugh out loud collection for anyone with a working heart and brain.  The comics are cerebral and silly.

Poor Lars, the Awkward Yeti.  He is ruled by his heart and his brain and they constantly pull him in different directions.  Brain wants to save money, and heart wants to squander it on pet food (for a pet they don't own).  Heart wants to chase his dreams, and brain is too pragmatic.  Just when Lars wants to go to sleep, his brain is there to keep him awake with troubling thoughts like how he did on that last job interview.

It's a really hilarious collection of comics and Nick Seluk manages to find the humor that we have in balancing our brain and heart.  You have to let them both take the reins sometimes, and you've got to learn when that is.  You might not learn when that is with this collection, but you'll nod in agreement as you run across similar situations to the ones in your life.

I received a review copy of this ebook from Andrews McMeel Publishing and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.  Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.

If you appreciate his humor which i find to be delightful and thought provoking, you will love this book. I have. It is full of surprises, zany stories and wonderful use of language.

When he really delves into the ideas it's great, but otherwise it's like an enthusiastic uncle explaining the plots of his favourite horror movies/ radio shows from the 50's to you. Also the chip on his shoulder about intellectual analysis of horror is refreshing at first, until you really do wish he'd read something, anything, to supplement his ideas.

Since my 8 yr old autistic son picked up one of these books, he reads and laughs, and takes them along everywhere. Has recently started making his own comics. So this was the inspiration to his creative outlet, and I am thrilled!

He has SUCH a way with words, and drawing you into his life as it stands at that moment in time. Funny and self depreciating (if that is the right word, obviously I do NOT have SUCH a way with words

My almost 12 yr old son wasn't really interested in the book at first. I opened it up and read aloud a page or 2 and since then he's picked it up on his own several times and often brings it to me to share a new funny part he likes. Today he took it to middle school to share with his friends - that's a win in my book!

The book contains short stories of events that happened in Mike's life, some when he was a young boy, a raging horney teenager to adulthood.  The stories will leave you laughing out loud, then make you ponder what just happened and laugh some more just of the mere thought if it.

Good stuff from Mr. Sedaris. Sometimes I think the audio book may be more rewarding because his readings lend so much more. You will laugh.

The man can flat out write well, develop characters, set a scene and tell a story.

My first foray into the reading world of Garrison Keillor was The Book of Guys.  It consists of 22 stories that reflect an impressive amount of learning and language skills combined with a curious imagination.  My  favorite of the set was the opening chapter address to the National  Federation of Associations convention.  Keillor's spoofs on the age old  battle of the sexes takes on smashingly funny proportions in this piece,  from the description of his attendance at the Sons of Bernie drunken orgy  of song and self-pity around a campfire in the freezing cold of winter to  comments about his high school poetic aspirations, including such numbers  as 'Soliloquies for Stringless Guitars'.
  The Mid-life Crisis of  Dionysusm, Buddy the Leper, Marooned, Don Giovanni, Earl Grey, and Casey at  the Bat (Road Game) were other stories I thought both humorous and  inventive, not to mention insightful in their comments about human nature.  On the other hand, many of the stories were crafty but without direction.  I finished several thinking, "What was the point of that?"  You  might want to read through a few of these stories while browsing through  the book before deciding whether or not you want to purchase it.

My Dude (7 years old) loves it and laughs a lot when reading.  He's good about not repeating inappropriate things at school or other places he shouldn't so that isn't a problem.

He uses a lot of his standup routines in this book, but there's also a lot of new funny observations/pieces of advice for dads.
