    About this ebook

    If you're a dinosaur, all of your friends are dead. If you're a pirate, all of your friends have scurvy. If you're a tree, all of your friends are end tables. Each page of this laugh-out-loud illustrated humor book showcases the downside of being everything from a clown to a cassette tape to a zombie. Cute and dark all at once, this hilarious children's book for adults teaches valuable lessons about life while exploring each cartoon character's unique grievance and wide-eyed predicament. From the sock whose only friends have gone missing to the houseplant whose friends are being slowly killed by irresponsible plant owners (like you), All My Friends Are Dead presents a delightful primer for laughing at the inevitable.

    • 4/5
      A fun, lighthearted read for when you need to mentally escape to enjoy illustrations and funny one-liners.
    • 5/5
      Cute little funny book. Absolutely enjoyed reading it with my kids.
    • 4/5
      this is so punny ?? i need everything single page framed
    • 3/5
      You can finish it within 5 minutes ... ( If you are like me it would take 10 minutes)
    • 3/5
      I liked it, but that last scene with the Tree is a little dark. Plus I wished it was longer.
    • 1/5
      This book is meant to be a joke, but it is very morbid and not even interesting.
    • 5/5
      Utterly Hilarious! Great job well done!??? cobra cobra cobra cobra
    • 4/5
      I found this book quite funny. And sad. Quite sad actually, in a number of places. But I finished it with the feeling that I must not take life too seriously. Things, bad and good, happen. And it’s okay, it’s not the end of the world. There’s life that goes on even when the form of being changes, there’s different perspectives to life (and death). It’s all beautiful, it’s all okay. Great job to the author! I withheld the one star mostly because the book fomart on my phone had script missing from the appropriate page, making it hard for me to understand what I was seeing until I flipped the page: other than that, just beautiful!
    • 5/5
      its funny and cute and i would read it to a class of 2 year olds

      Not too bad. Kind of cute. Had to read twice because I didn’t understand at first which captions went with which pictures. Oh well....?

      Hilarious. Brilliant. Little incisive cartoons that had me guffawing in the bookstore and wishing I had a million dollars so I could by a copy for each and every one of my not-dead friends.

      First of all if you're looking at getting this for a young kid...don't. This is not a kids book, unless you're looking at introducing death to them in a humorous/unusual way.What this book is, is a short, funny, dark look at how death can come to everyone and everything...even the inanimate. Each page features a different character with a short statement about how death has impacted them, including a sock bemoaning its missing mate and a plant asking you to stop buying its friends if you're just going to kill it. Its a quick read, but it will have you laughing quickly and cheer you up on those days that you're feeling down.
    • 5/5
      An example of a rare and captivating species, the adult picture book. It'll definitely make you chuckle (in a sad way). And the ending put into words the kind of thoughts I've been pondering for years.
    • 5/5
      A short, witty, adult picture book whose title explains it all.
    • 5/5
      The blurb says 'the saddest funny book and the funniest sad book you'll ever read' and it couldn't be truer. Such a fantastic little read.
    • 5/5
      A little morbid, but absolutely adorable and just plain hilarious. I saw a blog about the book online and immediately ordered it from Chronicle Books. I loved each and every page, and definitely think this is a fantastic adult "kids book."
    • 4/5
      Short, amusing book that would serve as a delightful coffee table book for the slightly morbid. Maybe I need to get a coffee table now.
