The World of Dan and Phil

The Amazing Book is Not on Fire

THE INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER From YouTube sensations Dan Howell (danisnotonfire) and Phil Lester (AmazingPhil) comes a laugh-out-loud look into the world created by two awkward guys who share their lives on the Internet. More than 11 million YouTube subscribers can't wait for this book! Since uploading their first ever videos as teenagers, Dan and Phil have become two of the world's biggest YouTube stars. Now they invite you on a behind-the-scenes journey, filled with absolutely essential advice, tons of humor, lots of awkwardness, and TMI honesty that they will probably regret. Here's just a small sample of the fun surprises readers can look forward to: • The inside story of that time they met One Direction. • Excerpts from Phil's teenage diary. • Reasons why Dan's a fail (so far). • How to draw the perfect cat whiskers. • Reasons why Phil was such a weird kid (back then). • Quizzes! Which of their dining room chairs represents you emotionally? • What really happened in Vegas. . . . In The Amazing Book Is Not on Fire, Dan and Phil are candid, heartfelt, and hilarious. Their struggles and success haven't changed their strong friendship or their core belief that it's okay to be weird. The cat whiskers come from within! This full-color book is bursting with unseen photographs and drawings, making it an ideal gift for that hard-to-shop-for teen.

The Amazing Book Is Not on Fire

Just because YouTuber's can write books doesn't mean that they always should.

This book is fine as a fun, content read for genuine fans, but it doesn't have much value when you leave the 'Phandom' and it fails to give something sentimental or special.

Ich bin so enttäuscht. Es tut mir wirklich leid, das zu sagen, da ich mich so gefreut hatte, dieses Buch zu lesen und auch ein großer Fan der beiden bin.
Das gesamte Buch fühlt sich einfach wie ein unfertiges und schlecht durchdachtes Patchwork-Schulprojekt an und ist so furchtbar oberflächlich! Ich glaube einfach, dass das Medium Buch für die Möglichkeiten, die es bietet geschätzt und nicht als Option für weiteren Merch gesehen werden sollte. Oberflächlichkeit ist eine der schlimmsten Sachen, die ich einem Buch vorwerfen kann und das war hier leider absolut der Fall. 
Es sind wirklich einige Dinge, die mich hier stören, aber ich werde mich jetzt nicht weiter aufregen. Das bringt keinem was und ich bin sowieso schon enttäuscht.

Two of my favourite things combined together: YouTube and reading!

The Amazing Book Is Not On Fire is just jam-packed with everything a fan could want. Stories, photos, illustrations, quizzes, trivia... There is so much going on!

Of course, the boys talk about their show on Radio 1, and all the opportunities that arose from the job - such as meeting One Direction. They also share their school experiences, their trip to Japan, and a rather unbelievable tale about what happened in Vegas...

As well as all their personal memories and journals, Dan and Phil talk about how they began their YouTube careers, and give advice to those wanting to go into the same profession. There's even a handy generator for video ideas!

All out favourite characters are mentioned, with Jessica, Becky, Dil Howlter, Simon the shrimp and Phil's lion having their own pages. Oh, and a double-page spread of Phil's hamster-breeding experiences.

And yes, there is fan-fiction. Phil Lester's tale, The Hand, features Harry Styles in a rather unexpected manner... And Dan's The Urge is, unsurprisingly, rather strange and dark. They are surprisingly nice reads in themselves!

Everything sounds as if the boys are reading aloud to you, as they've managed to capture their own voices in text. It's honestly just like watching one of their videos!

Here are some of the many visual pages in the book:

There are deep moments, weird moments, helpful moments, funny moments. I would definitely recommend that any fans of AmazingPhil and Danisnotonfire read this! I'm going to give it 4 stars, as I really enjoyed it!

I listened to 
  The Amazing Book is not on Fire
 by Dan Howell and Phil Lester on Audible!

Incase you haven't figured T out by now, I love watching YouTubers, I find it really enjoyable and entertaining, and better than watching tv most times. Dan and Phil are some of my favorites, so I decided to listen to their Audio book, and I wasn't Dissapointed.

I was, however, Dissapointed to see some people give the book 1 or 2 stars, and after reading them they have all been towards the book, not the audio book. Let me say that I believe the Audiobook is better than the book, and I haven't even read the book, because Dan and Phil is speaking throughout the whole thing, they included sound effects and some music and they even had banters throughout it. I think it's great for anyone who is a fan of Dan and Phil, even though there's been talk my hat there's not a lot of new information about them.

I think this Audiobook was Entertaining, humorous, interesting, and definitely enjoyable. I think if you're a fan, you might like the audio book better because of the interactions, but there is the fact that there's photos n the book… maybe buy both?

I give this 4 out of 5 stars!
