Review to come in March 2020 on blog/goodreads.

I received this book from Netgalley in exchange of an honest review.

I do love The Awkward Yeti's comics and so I couldn't resist this book about all sorts of health stories, I wasn't sure what to expect though, other than health and comics. :P Let me just tell you, my tumtum isn't happy with what he read. :P I would probably already have been feeling naesous reading about it, but also having graphics and illustrations made things a tad too much. That shell. OMG, ewwwwwwwwwwwwww, or that needle, OMG. And that is just two of the stories.

This book contains 24 stories about bizarre, fascinating and yes, all true health stories. From a trip to the beach ending with a lump to the tooth fairy to a monster inside someone. I liked that we also found out several things about the illness/health problems. I learned quite a few things about things and I love it.

Not all the stories were ones I enjoyed, and no I am not talking about the ones with gross stories and images and photographs, I am talking about those that just didn't interest me much. And yes there were a handful.

Oh, and at times the stories just seemed to end abruptly. Which I just found a very big shame. At times I was still very much into the story only for it to just end and the next one to begin.

I liked seeing the organs pop by, but also see the humans walk around.

I just loved the art and how well it fits with this book (and in general with the stories that The Awkward Yeti writes/makes).

All in all, if you don't mind blood, guts, gore, and disgusting health stories, be sure to check these out. You will learn something, and it is just so interesting to see what kind of silly things the human body can get up to.

Nick Seluk has produced another entertainingly illustrated collection. Using some of your favourite characters from Heart and Brain he illustrates a collection of anecdotes of the weird conditions and situations presenting in the doctor's clinic. As an Awkward Yeti fan I enjoyed Seluk's style, but felt it missed some of the whimsy of his comics. 4 stars.

This was one of the funniest books I have ever read. I was expecting a few laughs when I saw the cover, but I ended up reading the whole thing in one sitting and laughing pretty much the whole time. As someone who has struggled with chronic illness, reading some of these tales of medical weirdness, accidents, and illnesses helped me find the humor in some of what I've been through.
The artwork in this story was just as hilarious as the stories too. I mean, who doesn't love an ornery, anthropomorphic colon?
Overall, I had a great time reading this book and highly recommend it to anyone with a love of science, medicine, and silly stories, or anyone who, like me, is in desperate need of humor after dealing with their own medical dramas. This book was so cleverly written and I'm really looking forward to reading more works by this author.

"How I Broke Up with My Colon" was a fun and cute read filled with all sorts of medical stories ranging from how eating an old box of pancake mix went terribly awry to lawnmower accidents that involve the entire neighborhood. Perfectly categorized as a coffee table book and a quick read, this book will peak your medical interests without all the medical jargon of "Gray's Anatomy."

I love the Awkward Yeti, so thought this would be more of the usual humor that you see there.

It is not.

Instead, it is just as funny, and weird, and tells stories of medical conditions that turned out weirdly. Done in the same style as that of the Awkward Yeti, we hear stories of kidney stones, and moldy pancakes, and losing ones sense of smell.

Fun, but weird book.

Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.

Incredibly funny and real stories about people's medical maladies. I'm used to reading Seluk's single comics, so reading whole stories was very rewarding and I laughed more than I probably should have at these people's stories. I appreciate people's willingness to share crappy moments in their lives for the amusement of others, and Seluk does wonderful work with all the different organs.

How I Broke Up with my Colon is by Nick Seluk, of Awkward Yeti/ Heart and Brain comics/ Organ Attack card game fame. I love his comic collections, so I was super excited to get approved for an advanced copy of How I Broke Up with My Colon. As soon as I downloaded it, I started reading. The book is surprisingly easy to tear through without realizing it. A classic case of "just one more" turning into staying up past my bedtime and finishing the book without realizing it.

So the good news is that the stories are easy to read, and the collection is difficult to put down. The bad news is that the stories themselves are just fine. There are some really fascinating obscure medical conditions and accidents featured. But the way the stories are related is very anti-climactic. I didn't think stories like nosebleeds that come out the eyeballs could be less than absorbing, but they all sort of petered out into "and then the condition was fixed. The end." Not that I didn't want the conditions to be fixed. It's just that the way the stories were related wasn't super satisfying. A condition would be introduced--they might be fascinating, or grotesque, or funny, or sad, or some combination thereof, but sometimes they weren't even very interesting--then they'd be solved, and we'd hop right on to the next story. Makes for easy reading at least, if not satisfying.

The art is, of course, the highlight of the book. Nick Seluk creates such engagingly clever art that anthropomorphizes the various working parts of our body so well. That art translates well to these medical stories. I think I'd read pretty much anything he illustrated because I enjoy his work so much, and this book is no different.

So, if you're looking for short, quirky medical stories with clever, humorous graphic illustrations, that you can read through in one sitting, pick up a copy of How I Broke Up with My Colon. It should tide you over til the next Heart and Brain comics are released, and you may even learn about obscure medical conditions in the process.

Thank you to #NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for letting me read a free #advancedcopy of #HowIBrokeUpWithMyColon. This is my honest opinion.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for providing this book in exchange for an honest review.
I have enjoyed the Awkward Yeti comics I have read before. This one was somewhat different from the others I've read but still has a lot of humor. I loved the artwork too.

The Awkward Yeti is by far one of the best comic strips out today. I love all the organs. And this book tries to bring to light some of the ways they like to mess with people. Its laugh out loud funny.

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.

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.

Disgusting and entertaining with decent digital art. I'll hold out hope for a sequel with stories of severe bodily trauma with black and white detailed ink sketches, maybe manga styled in the fashion after the gruesome art of Berserk.

Thanks NetGalley for this ARC, in exchange for an honest review. First, I love the Heart and Brain webcomics/memes and the Awkward Yeti. So, no surprise, I really enjoyed this! The stories were insane! The last story, Jesus SMH. I can’t wait until it’s available for order through our distributor!

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.
