review 1: This was everything that I needed it to be. It's a creative and whimsical take on my generation that felt like a good conversation with a friend. While it was laugh-out-loud funny, I also found his pieces appropriately thoughtful. The illustrations, highlighting the more absurd moments of modern life, function as cake topper to this little book and it is all the better for them. Some typos? Sure, but leaving those aside it was pitch perfect.
review 2: Blog followers will recognize the grin-while-reading/guffaw-at-illustration format but Ellis takes it a step farther and ties the vignettes together into a thoughtful narrative that is both endearing and LOL-inducing. Through relocation, relationships and self-revelations, Ellis' memoirs are easily relatable e... moreven if you've never interrupted scissoring vagrants. There are lots of illustrations and his signature style is consistently creative and expressive. Whether or not you've read the blog (yet), The Blunder Years is perfect as a standalone. It's a great way to spend a lazy afternoon - empathizing with Adam and chuckling at his exploits! NOTE: Reading Books of Adam may cause fits of explosive laughter... and embarrassment if in public. less
