The New Face of YA

How is a joke picture book for adults in any way YA?

I'm guessing bill was joking. children's book for adults, young adult, get it? lol. Anyway if the book turns out to be as funny as the title I might have to get a copy myself.

The author read portions of this in an interview. The parts I heard were very, very funny. Plus, he's already a well known author. I've already seen several links and interviews about it. I'm not surprised people are pre-ordering.

Best title of a book EVER.

I might have to put this one on the shelf next to my beloved copy of "FU, Penguin."

That's freaking awesome. I'm buying it.

Good for Adam and Akashic! I hope they hit the NYT with it.

Ha, I would totally buy this. I'm not surprised.

I totally, completely, utterly, one-hundred-percent understand why this book is already so popular.

Just based on the comments here in the thread has prompted me to check it out.



I may have to get this book as well.

After spending the last hour trying to get my two to go to sleep, I would so get this book. I know how he feels.

I'm with Kitty. This is a very misleading title, and kind of an annoying one, since you have to actually click on the link before discovering how non-YA it really is...

But yes, I can see parents wanting a copy for their shelves.

I do think it was a joke, but I think it was a joke that is based on the assumption that children's books and YA are the same thing.

Either way, I have a four-month-old who does not like to sleep, and this looks hilarious.
