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.

Ratings and reviews

as a 15 year old, i feel that this beautiful short book about death can evoke a wide array of emotions, as it deals with one of the most profound and universal aspects of human existence. It can be a deeply contemplative and thought-provoking experience, touching upon themes of mortality, the meaning of life, and the impermanence of our existence. The last time I felt something close to this was when my dad went to get milk 13 years ago. At times, such a book may invoke feelings of sadness and grief as it explores the loss of loved ones or reflects on the inevitability of our own mortality. It may prompt readers to confront their fears and anxieties surrounding death, leading to a sense of existential unease or introspection, by reading the sample, I definitely would recommend for people under 3.

Okay, I read just the sample, but this book sucks! I thought it was some drama about some lonely guy who, after friends die, also dies. But I feel that my time was wasted. In addition, it makes no sense. This book does not deserve to be one. I would like to give negative 1, 000, 000 stars. Hate it. This story is very wrong. I feel it displays suicide related content, but I may be wrong since I'm only 10 years old. My advice- Do Not Buy This Book.

Not as funny as advertised. All of the best jokes are in the description already, so there's no real need to buy this. Trust me. It took a little over 3 minutes to read, and most of it isn't all that humorous. Even having bought this at a steep discount, I still feel like I wasted my money. Do yourself a favor and don't buy this book. The concept behind it is great, but it completely misses the mark. Overall, it is a complete disappointment.
