REVIEW: Everyone's a Aliebn When You're a Aliebn Too - Jomny Sun

• Year first released:  2017
• ISBN of the edition I read:  0062569023
• Publisher of the edition I read:  Harper Perennial
• My rating (out of 5): 5. 500. 10,005. Infinity. All the numbers. Everything.

Just looking at my rating of this book, you can already guess where this is going. So I’m just going to say it outright:

HOLY GOODNESS THIS BOOK IS INCREDIBLE.

Like, miraculously incredible. Like, in the uppermost echelon of incredible. Like...wow.

Also: it’s heart-bleedingly adorable. Yeah, that’s a real thing. At least it is now, because that’s what this book is.

Okay, okay. Time to put a little substance on these enormous claims (but only a little, because I will very quickly run out of positive adjective for telling you how wonderful this book is).

At its heart, Everyone's a Aliebn When You're a Aliebn Too is a graphic novel about an alien who is making friends with earth creatures (a dog, a snail, a tree, etc.), each of whom provides the alien with highly insightful observations about life, purpose, and the things that we focus on. The alien, in turn, also has his share of insights that are simply marvelous. I’d be happy to give you some examples, except that I don’t want to ruin the wonder and the surprise that is every single page of this book.

And really, this can’t be overstated: the insights in Aliebn are not only wonderful, but so beautifully simple that you can’t help but wonder why they haven’t occurred to you before – or why, in fact, they don’t already guide your life.

To add to this, it’s also hilarious beautiful poignant tear-jerking lovely sad unassuming melodic smile-jerking amazing keen succinct worthwhile worththetime worththemoney worththeworld sincere twitterpating cute astonishing striking remarkable moving meaningful excellent brilliant outstanding exceptional humble intelligent quirky honest astounding awe-inspiring…

(Hey, look at that! I actually didn’t run out of positive adjectives too quickly after all!)

Please, friends: read this book. Sincerely. I only want what's best for you. And this is it.
