This Won’t Help

The format worked well for me. There were a lot of times I laughed and I was able to pick it up and put it down as much as I needed. Great book to take along if you are stuck in waiting rooms a lot. A few topics I glazed over, but for the most part I enjoyed being entertained. Found it a nice mix of memory lane, current times and what situations we may/may not find ourselves in in the future. I would definitely gift this book to others. Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher and the author for the advance copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Thank you to NetGalley, The Experiment, and Eli Grober for the opportunity to read and review "This Wont Help".

From a readability standpoint, this book was great. The formatting was easy to follow, and for this type of book It worked really well. It was easy to pick up, follow, and read at an enjoyable pace. I did find myself skimming through a couple of the parts but that was very minimal - and I think the likeability of a book like this is completely subjective to ones own opinions. I for one, enjoy this type of comedy. Content wise, although this was had great sarcasm and was quite funny throughout, it served as a frighteningly accurate representation of the world we live in. Which I think is why I loved it.

I loved this book. All of the essays were excellent but some really stood out above the others, including “We Must Give Equal Airtime…”; “Why I’m Doing My Own Research…”; and “I Am Simply the Small-Business…” Grober uses sarcasm as a bludgeon against a lot of what is wrong with things and he takes no prisoners. Thank you to Netgalley and The Experiment for the digital review copy.

This was such a fun book. Sometimes it gets hard to see the humor within all of the darkness in the world right now, but Eli Grober does a great job with these short stories.

Knowing that other people feel just as disappointed in the world as I do makes me feel a whole lot better about it!

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for a digital copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.

A funny, satirical book that bridges a lot of relevant and memorable topics in an engaging way. A highly skimmable book that both makes me want to laugh and cry while reading it. 4.5/5

This was an extremely witty collection of essays on current issues and concerns. As a really anxious older Gen Z this provided a sense of comfort, I recognize that I don't have to worry so much about the environment and other issues so much every day, This book didn't help fix the world, but it did bring humor into our hellscape,
