An enjoyable little read. Many of the pictures are a bit painful, as expected. There was always at least a one-line comment, and sometimes you needed these to really pick up the weirdness hiding in some of these photos. But it wasn't just a book of photos either - some sections sported entire stories that went behind the pictures. And there were also some sections of just embarrassing family stories, no photos necessary. A fun diversion.
This book has a pretty high hit rate for hilarity--in fact, unless you live alone, you might fear to read it at night lest you wake others up with your laughter.
Wonderfully filled with cringe factor, Awkward Family Photos leaves you feeling relieved that your own family pics are safely locked away in the bottom drawer.
Not much plot, but the visuals are fabulous ;-0.
At first I thought my age might have something to do with how much I enjoyed these photographs, meaning many of them were "typical" photos of my childhood and youth, the cringeworthy family Christmas sweater shots, the totally hokey backgrounds, the hairstyles that you will regret to your dying day. But my 12-y-o daughter also enjoyed them tremendously. So it is just a fun book to sit on the couch and howl with laughter with your loved ones and show more remind yourself to hide that stash of pictures in your closet just that much deeper. show less
