Heart and Brain: Body Language is a graphic novel about the adventures of Heart and Brain. Besides Heart and Brain, you also have Gallbladder, Muscle,Tongue, Eyes,... Heart and Brain: Body Language is about the daily struggles of life.

Heart and Brain: Body Language is such a funny and relatable graphic novel! I couldn't stop laughing while going through the comics. It's such a brilliant book and I can't help notice that it's already the third book by Andrews McMeel Publishing that I love!

Heart and Brain: Body Language is a real recommendation for those who want to read something light and funny! I cannot wait to read another Heart and Brain book!

I picked up a calendar last year based on this comic strip and I wanted more! This book has it. We all know the divide between what the heart wants and what the brain wants. A lot of funny wisdom here.

Heart and Brain is my favorite comic on Instagram and this book lived up to my expectations. Hilarious and way too relatable, Heart and Brain are definitely my spirit animals.

Okay, I lied.

After reading Heart and Brain: Gut Instincts I said it will probably be the last collection I read by The Awkward Yeti/Nick Seluk but that clearly wasn't the case and I am a bit glad that it was.

This reminded me of why I loved Heart and Brain when I read it 2 years ago. Content wise the comics this time around were much stronger and flowed much better and weren't as choppy.

You can say whatever you like about these comics but you can never deny their awkward truths and painfully relatable words.

This is a very quick and easy read, some laugh out loud moments and it's very relatable.

Ideal to give you a little break if reading a heavy going book or one to help get you out of a reading slump or even when you just want a laugh.

Big thumbs up from me.

I love coming across these comics on meme pages. I look forward to them. I follow the artist on social media sites. It is always a treat. I was stoked when I saw there was a book. Clearly I am behind the times as this is the third book out.

The basic premise is the organs of the body have personalities and they interact in pretty stereotypical ways. I just love the partnership between Brain and Heart. It might be weird to say, but I totally ship them. It took reading this book to understand that.

This book introduced me to a new character: Spleen. I hadn’t seen Spleen before and I have to say, I need to see more of them. They are dark and mysterious. I love it. I want to know so much more.

The book is hilarious in a nerdy way. The jokes are like those of the longer running comic strips like Calvin and Hobbes. The jokes are much deeper and I can appreciate that to no end. I am not a fan of low brow humor, it generally annoys me. You have to give this book a shot if you are a nerd or if you are tired of fart jokes. Trust me.

This is a comic I have read bits and pieces of. When I got the chance to read a whole book, I jumped at it. All of the panels were good. Some were hilarious. I found myself laughing out loud. It was often relatable and always interesting. This was a really fun read and I highly recommend it.

I received a free ARC from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.

I love Heart and Brain - they perfectly illustrate my total inability to handle money. Brain says: you don't need that. Heart says: I want it! Unfortunately, my heart never learned the difference between a "want" and a "need" which is why I blew all my textbook money on VIP Comic Con tickets. Anyway: Heart and Brain is one of my favorite webcomics ever, and I'm so happy to see them featured in another book.

Another cute volume about the heart/brain divide - no earth-shattering revelations, but enough laughs to be worth a quick read.

Body Language is the third print book in the Awkward Yeti series, there is also a webcomic. The comic follows the day to day activities and struggle of a personified Brain, Heart and other organs. Heart is impulsive and whimsical while the Brain is logical and well organized.

I really enjoyed this book and seeing the struggle between impulse and logic. I myself, like many others, feel this struggle daily especially when it comes to food and impulse buys. This collection had me smiling and enjoying the stories and personalities that they organs had beyond what would be expected. I have been enjoying The Awkward Yeti webcomics for years and also really enjoyed this collection.

A VERY cute, funny and clever collections of comics starring the Human Body. This would be a FANTASTIC gift for anyone graduating from a medical program or working in medicine/biology/anatomy etc. It would also make an AMAZING gift for someone in the hospital or with an illness. My husband is waiting for a kidney transplant and I intend to pick him up a copy to lift his spirits during recovery!

As a medical professional myself and a previous Anatomy and Physiology tutor, I loved this book. But you don't have to be a doctor to enjoy these cartoons, all you need to have is a body.

I stumbled on to this book and just had to read it even though I'm not sure I've actually ever seen anything from this comic line before. I'm glad I took the chance on it.

Heart and Brain: Body Language is cute and insightful. Showing all the ways your heart, your brain, and some of your other organs work together to help you live the fullest and best life possible. Brain always wants to go about things logically. Heart has all the feels and wants to be happy whatever the cost. Since neither can survive without the other, these delightful friends must find ways to work in conjunction or learn to live with the consequences of the other's choices. It's a cartoon full of fancy free wit that draws attention to realities of life but in a pleasing and humorous way.

4 stars!

Thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for giving me this review opportunity.

Another great collection of Heart & Brain comics. Gut shares his irritations and instincts without giving any help
whatsoever, Brain tries unsuccessfully to keep Heart in line and Tongue keeps keeps everyone eating delicious treats.

Might be my favorite Heart and Brain collection yet.

I received this book from Netgalley and I'm so happy that I did.

This book was so relatable and adorable at the same time. I think everyone will be able to get something from this collection of comics. The artwork is cute and the comic strips are great. We all have those moments in life that our heart and brain do not cooperate. This book shows those moments.

This book will have you bookmarking pages that you know describe you. If you're on the fence, just get it. You're heart and brain will thank you for it!

Even better than the first one, this comic series is growing on me and on my brain, and on my heart, and on my toungue..... :)

Molto carino e persino meglio del precedente. Questa striscia di fumetti piace sempre di piu a me, al mio cervello, al mio cuore, alla mia lingua..... :)

I'm just a big fan of this webcomic, and it was everything I wanted it to be. Sometimes I relate more to the heart, and sometimes the brain.

What really gets me is the panels/comics where I'm 110% both.

Definitely recommend checking out this collection or the webcomic...or both. I still need to get my hands on the other two collections.

First, as far as the author’s pen name, I would like to point out that I’ve never met a Yeti who wasn’t awkward.
Second, I’ve read a previous collection of this comic strip, so I’m coming in with full awareness as to the brand of humor.
And most of all, Heart is so cute! And an airhead, of course. I have to assume there are plushies available.
Highlights:
“Pandora’s Web Browser.” That’s a thing.
“Give those back! I was making a point!” “Point taken.”
“They grow up so fast.”
“Protagonist!”
“Ssssshowtime!” and “Taste Buds!”
“Just song lyrics and movie quotes”. . . Yep.
See what happens when you roll your eyes. . .
Plenty of crazily humorous moments, well worth a perusal.

I love these comics! They're so short and adorable. I follow the Awkward Yeti's Facebook page and love seeing them on my newsfeed from, so when I saw there was a collection of these comics in a book, I had to read it! These personified body parts are so silly that the book will have you laughing the whole way through. I think this concept is just fantastic because these anecdotes are so human that everyone can relate to something in here. Be sure to check out this book!
