I got this book through NetGalley. Since I'm such a huge fan of the others, I couldn't wait to read it. I found this funny and interesting. I'll continue reading anything that Nick Seluk decides to publish.

Sorry I couldn't read this book, it wouldn't install on my reading app. I even downloaded another app to see if it would work - no luck.

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

Some very concerning medical stories coupled with hilarious illustrations. A snail in the foot? Seven spleens? Murderous spines your jam?
This is your book!

This book is a whole bunch of my favorite things all rolled into one. First, it's Awkward Yeti, which I love, second it focuses on the guts characters, which I love even more (my fiance and I ARE Heart and Brain, I swear!) and it's a compilation of horrifying medical stories, which are AWESOME.
Some of these are hard to read for the squeamish (I am not even squeamish and some of them made my bones ache) and some are just silly or funny, but all of them are weird and fascinating.

This book is not worth the time it took to download it. I must admit that I only read eight chapters because it was so tedious. The author seems to have intended to make it informative and humorous but it was neither. A totally missed opportunity to educate in a lighthearted way. Skip this one.

Ohmygod this was both weird and so funny, and I enjoyed every second of it! I love the concept of these comics so much as someone interested in medicine. Really enjoyed and want to read more of these!

I quite liked the weirdness of the stories illustrated!

As a huge fan of Heart & Brain comics, I couldn't pass up reading this collection. A series of true medical stories, with some added humor and illustrations. A few of the stories were bland, but most of them were very entertaining and disturbing. I have a few good friends that are ER nurses, and stories like this are epically funny.

I've seen Awkward Yeti comics online and loved them. This was a well done book that tells a story over a few pages.

The stories ranged from funny to the down right scary. I loved the comments added in throughout the stories, they really brought the humour.

If you're looking for something quick and funny, this is a must read.

I love The Awkward Yeti, so whenever I see that there's a new collection up on Netgalley, I jump to download it as soon as possible. I think this has to be one of my favorite works of Seluk's yet, even though it totally branches out from the usual style! Instead of a collection of short, humorous, silly comics, this is actually a collection of true medical stories that were submitted (mostly by patients, but sometimes by providers) and then dramatized through comics. They're still adorable and hilarious (the gallbladder has my heart forever with its little "you don't wike da stones?" moments), but it's also super informative and morbidly fascinating. Whether you're new to The Awkward Yeti comics or a long-time fan, I strongly recommend picking this one up!

I love the Awkward Yeti. However, I always only followed the comics online; I did not read any of the previous books.
But I can certainly say that this is one of the best from online comics to a book I've ever read. I did not expect to get whole stories (over several pages long) instead of the usual short comic strips. And it was so well done.
Every chapter tells a story of a different person which is illustrated in The Awkward Yeti fashion (favourite moment was when one image describe what was supposed to be there and then said: above the artistic abilities of the creator - I just loved that.)

It all started so well. The first story was a great start, and I knew this will go very well. It still is one of my favourite moments together with the kidney stones in the amateur geologist story and where's Waldo?

However, there were certain stories that were absolutely terrifying to me. Like the lawn-mover and I cannot imagine how anyone could think that could be a good idea! Anyway, I'm actually a bit impressed. I never saw a land-mower which would be easy to pick up. And then Chapter 15, the bane of my existence, I would be happy if I never had to think about it, my insides twisted when reading that chapter!
On a different note, I was a bit sadden by the mother who freaked out because her child was teething, how did she expect the child to acquire teeth? Was she saving to buy dentures for the child?

Yeah, this was so worth it! Loved it. However, there is one way to make this more perfect! Dr. Mike (Varshavski) needs to make a video reacting to thins!

We leave the Heart and Brain characters from this series' regular comic pages behind here, as we see instead reportage dressed up in cartoonish ways. And this is all reportage from the front line of medical incident, where people swallow sewing needles, entire rockpool shells jam themselves into feet, and so on. A couple of the vox pops are just simple anecdote, or discussion of what it's like to have this or that, and so suffer a little from lack of incident, but the creator of the images is always coming up trumps. I've seen similar books to this regarding dreams and other things sent in to the illustrators to dramatise, and while it's therefore a format I've seen work very enjoyably, it's also easy to see it making for a bad book as well. This isn't one of those bad books. So although I would have wanted something more geared to the freakish, and Darwin Awards kind of action (the chapters involving popcorn and lawnmowers – say no more – are highlights), I'd still recommend this. Unless the phrase "I could taste burnt nose flesh" puts you off, that is.
