Be Like Bill

I knew this was going to be funny and it was!

Bill is very funny but also quite irritating because Bill has it all worked out. Don't be a fool. Get life worked out. Be like Bill.

The popular Facebook meme is back, but this time in a book and as usual he is great fun because he always knows what to do and he knows that we don't always know what to do, and so Bill gets things right and we are encouraged to emulate him.

Bill exists because people do irritating things on Facebook like ranting about Monday when Monday happens every week and will continue to happen, and sharing really personal and private things that should be kept private.

Bill of course goes beyond Facebook because he knows how to do everyday life and to do it well. He knows he should allow people to choose what they want to watch on TV instead of harassing them to watch his favourite shows. He knows when he is on a date with his girlfriend he should allow her to choose what she wants to eat. He also knows he shouldn't click on links that promise him a new iPhone because all he will get from doing so is a new virus. Bill knows a lot of stuff and Bill gets things right.

Bill reminds me of Charley, the 1970's public safety announcements for kids https://youtu.be/2AIB7M3V_j4 The only difference is Charley mostly got things wrong and learnt from experience, whereas Bill always gets things right and we are meant to learn from him. I am from a well looked after generation with Charley in my childhood and Bill in my adult life. It means that if I follow Bill and do exactly like him I will never do anything wrong and I will live a full and meaningful life with lots of friends.

Or just be really irritating because if we were all like Bill life and the internet would be incredibly boring.

This volume is great fun, easy to read and a good one for the coffee table.

This the kind of book people with common sense will enjoy. Bill is funny, and his sense of humor should bring at least one smile to your face.

Bill is great! I loved Bill before this, and even more now. This book is laugh out loud hilarious! I read the whole thing in one sitting, and wanted more! If only everyone could be like Bill. Read this book. It is fun and you will laugh the whole way through!

This book is funny and silly. It's probably what you are expecting when you read the cover so I would say it satisfies. Got a chuckle or several.

Be Like Bill is a funny entertaining book that gives some people a much needed dose of common sense. I think everyone should read this book, if for a laugh or to remind them of common decency.

I have been a "Bill" fan now for a good fews months and I really smiled reading through this book, it made me laugh reading some of them - loved it - 5 stars!!

The best thing about this book is that it highlights a lot of things that I want to say to others, but don't because I don't want to appear rude. Sure, there are some things I don't agree with, but it doesn't stop me from loving this book.

This is the kind of book you want to buy even if it's just to take out select pages and hand them out to people who are not being very bill- like.

Maybe you've seen Bill on the internet. Bill is a stick figure, popular on Facebook. He meme messages implore you to be like him. He conveys simple messages: life lessons, etiquette, online rules, relationship advice. His creators, Eugeniu Criotoru and Debabrata Nath, have gathered some of Bill's (and his friend Bella's) best bits for the appropriately titled book Be Like Bill.

Bill is smart, he is not a douche, he is not immature, he is respectful of others, he has manners, he is polite, he is friendly. Bill isn't an attention seeker, a show-off, or a whining moron. If all of us were like Bill, the world would be a better place.

Be Like Bill is good for some laughs. You will probably read this and think of lots of people who are not like Bill. But I have a feeling that as much as you think you are like Bill, you will have to admit that you are not always like Bill. Read Be Like Bill and be more like Bill.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the complimentary electronic review copy!

A funny, short book based on Be Like Bill. I read this in just a couple of hours. If you are looking for a longer graphic novel or entertainment book, this is not the book for you. If you're looking for a light and humorous book that you can read in an afternoon, this is a great option . Also great to have out as a coffee table book for guests to peruse. Would highly recommend if you are a BLB fan!

Bill read this book. Be like Bill. Bill is smart. Or Jill, his girlfriend, who is equally smart.

This book is exactly my kind of humour! 'Be Like Bill' is a book full of Bill the stick man and the things he does and doesn't do in order to not annoy everyone else around him. Bill teaches lots of lessons, such as how to be considerate of others and how to be a good friend, but all done in a very dry and funny way. One of my favourites being: "This is Bill. Bill just woke up. Bill took a selfie. Bill doesn't post it on Facebook writing, 'I'm so ugly today'. If he really felt like that, he wouldn't have posted it. Bill doesn't need anyone to tell him he's handsome. Be like Bill".

This would make a great coffee table book or a Christmas stocking filler for anyone with a similar dry sense of humour. All of the things that Bill speaks about are things that have irked me at some time or another, so this really did make me chuckle. I hope there'll be more from Bill in future!

The book is funny, simple, intelligent and sharp.. This is a quick read based on the internet sensation - Be Like Bill... Most of us should actually "Be Like Bill"... The world needs more people like Bill...
