Everything Is Awful
Everything Is Awful: And Other Observations | Matt Bellassai
14 posts | 21 read | 1 reading | 8 to read
From the break-out star of BuzzFeed and the Peoples Choice Award-winning comedian behind the web series Whine About It and To Be Honest comes a collection of hilariously anguished essays chronicling awful moments from his life so far, the humiliations of being an adult, and other little indignities. Matt Bellassai has no idea what hes doing. Well, to be fair, he did become semi-Internet famous by getting drunk at work, making him a socially-acceptablenayprofessional alcoholic. Hes got some things figured out. But the rest is all just a terrible, disgusting mess. This is Matts book. Just to clarify, though, it is absolutely not a memoir; Matt is far too young to have done anything worth remembering (though he did win an actual Peoples Choice Award for his BuzzFeed web series, Whine About It, which is pretty good, if you ask his mother). This is also most certainly not a book of advice; he is too woefully ill-prepared for life to offer anything in the way of counsel (though that wont stop him from talking). Call this a collection of awful moments that led to his grumbling, blundering adulthooda chronicle of little indignities that, when taken together, amount to a life of hilarious anguish. With keen wit and plenty of self-deprecation, Matt reveals how hard it is to shed his past as the Midwests biggest nerd, that one time a taquito nearly murdered him at his brothers surprise birthday party, and the time he came out to his friends and family (the closet was a bit messy). Matt also wrestles with the humiliations of adulthood, like giving up on love in New York City, living alone with no one to heat his microwave dinners, and combating the inner voice that tells him to say aloud all the things the rest of us are smart enough to keep to ourselves. You probably dont need this book, but lets be honestyou do. Since youre already reading, you might as well pull up a chair, grab your glass(es) of wine, and enjoy.

I think you either have a similar sense of humor as Matt or you don't. I totally do and laughed out loud a lot while listening to this book. I love his dramatic style of telling embarrassing stories about himself. Maybe they were especially funny to me because I am from the Midwest and get it. I recommend "reading" this in audiobook form. Matt reads it and makes it hilarious. Book four of vacation done!

December wrap-up to close out the Great Reading Slump of 2017. The last book I read this year (Bounty) was terrible. Good riddance 2017.

I gave up on this book. His humor is good on YouTube however for me it did not translate well to print form.
