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. Plus, this is a fixed-format version of the book, which looks nearly identical to the print version.

I read the reviews for this book and realized I had to get one for myself. I'm an avid reader and usually buy non-fiction science books about space and physics. I ordered two of these, one to give to my best friend, I'm 29 and she is 40. This book is great for all ages! I found it hilarious and ironic and it makes a great book that you can go back to over and over for a good laugh.

Horribly unimaginative. Waste of time and money.

Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2020

I got this as a joke for a buddy and his wife's baby shower (not actually intended for their kid's library). However, this book took a potentially hilarious idea and absolutely destroyed it with a lack of creative writing. I can't believe how bad it is. It's embarrassingly bad. Will not be giving this to anyone. What a terrible waste of resources to print and ship this book. None of the characters' statements are clever in the least, and nothing rhymes; the way this book is formatted/presented (as a kid's book), I subconsciously tried to find a rhythm on every page; but since there was none to be found, it was incredibly dull and destroyed any humor that might have existed in its pages. Feels like I was scammed.

Dark humor

Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2017

Verified Purchase

I bought it because I thought the cover was funny for my dinosaur loving friend, but luckily I read it before giving it to her because it was much darker than I expected. Ended up being the perfect gift for my brother (mid 20s), and my whole family enjoyed him reading it (laughing while saying "that's terrible!").

fun book - quick read and always a hit at parties!

Got this as sort of a gag gift for my hubby on his Birthday and it's turned into the best coffee table book ever! Every time we have friends over it's inevitable that someone will see this book on the coffee table, pick it up, and start reading. Soon laughter ensues and others are reading along. And here I thought it was going to seem obnoxious to some people but so far everyone who sees it thinks it's hilarious. It is fun and a quick read. A great gift and super fun book for all the big kids in your life.

All my friends love dark humor.

This book is a great litmus test. Show this book to someone (***) and see if they have the sagacity and intelligence to appreciate the stoic humor that this book presents. If they frown and pooh-pooh this book, avoid those people because they're probably not going to be very good company. I've noticed that the people who tend to appreciate this are the older folks, people who have come to grips with a bad illness, people who have experienced a little sadness in their lives, and people who work closely with the sick. The teenagers just giggle, but don't seem to get the point.

*** Of course, the caveat being that you should not give/show this book to someone who is actually grieving the death of a loved one, especially if recent. Of course, you'd only do that if you were lacking in empathy or had a very low emotional quotient.

Is The Warm Light Following You?

Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2017

This book is a must read. Some friends are undead, some friends are hoaxes, some friends are end tables, some friends are bread, some friends are obsolete, who knew? And, then, some friends are followers, some are Kentucky fried and some are puddles.

When you think about it, it is a wonder anyone is alive. Are your friends all dead or turned into something else? Please report back, we need to know.

No, no.

Book that shows the downside of everything, and supposed to be funny. Perhaps it amuses adults but the kids did not like it and it depressed the hell out of me.

Bought it for my Granddaughter

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 25, 2014

Well I thought it was a funny book but the rest of my family didn't. I was frowned upon for buying this for my 3 month old Granddaughter. I read it to her and she laughs which is all that matters because I laugh too! We all have to die one day and she needs to understand that her granddad will also die one day (not too soon i hope) Buy it before it's too late.

Very cool little book. The drawings are funny and the wit. Only problem is, it is a little short as you run through it in about 5 mins and that's about all of it. For this price...I don't, I feel a little fooled, but it is not a big deal. I gifted it to someone else for a laugh and it served me pretty well in this regard
