Everyone's a Aliebn When Ur a Aliebn Too A Book

Jomny Sun — 2017

The illustrated story of a lonely alien sent to observe Earth, where he meets all sorts of creatures with all sorts of perspectives on life, love, and happiness, while learning to feel a little better about himself--based on the enormously popular Twitter account. Here is the unforgettable story of Jomny, an alien sent to study Earth. Always feeling apart, even among his species, Jomny feels at home for the first time among the earthlings he meets. There is a bear tired of other creatures running in fear, an egg struggling to decide what to hatch into, a turtle hiding itself by learning camouflage, a puppy struggling to express its true feelings, and many more. The characters are unique and inventive--bees think long and hard about what love means, birds try to eat the sun, nothingness questions its own existence, a ghost comes to terms with dying, and an introverted hedgehog slowly lets Jomny see its artistic insecurities. At the same time, Jomny's curious presence allows these characters to open up to him in ways they were never able to before, revealing the power of somebody who is just there to listen. Everyone's a Aliebn When Ur a Aliebn Too is also the story behind the widely-shared and typo-filled @jonnysun twitter account. Since the beginning, Sun intentionally tweeted from an outsider's perspective, creating a truly distinct voice. Now, that outsider has taken shape in the character of Jomny, who observes Earth with the same intelligent, empathetic, and charmingly naïve voice that won over his fans on social media. New fans will find it organic, and old fans will delight at seeing the clever words that made them fans in the first place. Through this story of a lost, lonely and confused Alien finding friendship, acceptance, and love among the animals and plants of Earth, we will all learn how to be a little more human. And for all the earth-bound creatures here on this planet, we will all learn how sometimes, it takes an outsider to help us see ourselves for who we truly are.

Review A funny beautiful & existential look at what makes us human, wrote from the perspective of an alien. I always revisit this book when I am feeling hopeless about humans. (This was a re-read.) Recommend to a friend? Yes Read again? Yes Inspired me to create? Yes Filled me with the inescapable dread that I will never be able to make something as good as this? Yes

3.5 stars what a cute book. there were moments where i personally resonate with the truth that was told in the book. not really sure what else to say other than the fact that this book was happy, sad, inspiring, cynical, and unexpectedly educational about art/beauty, identity, love, and life itself.

I cannot put it into words how much this book somehow comforts me. The arts are charming, the story is easy to follow, the message is well delivered. Thoroughly enjoyed every bits of it.

One of the most charming and witty perspectives on life I’ve encountered that is both delightfully simple and complex at the same time.

This was a cute little book, extremely complex but deceitfully simple. It is both joyful and sad, hopeful and dark. I really enjoyed this book, however it was not life-altering for me and didn't make me feel very deep feelings, which seemed to be the case for a lot of readers, so I couldn't say it's a new favorite. I might re-read parts of it from time to time though, as some panels were really cute.

This was such a perfect mix of cute, funny, deep, and just plain strange sometimes. There was wisdom on every page, but also plenty to furrow your brows at.

I loved this graphic novel so much. It has a really sweet message and all the characters Jonny the Aliebn interacts with are sweet. I would recommend this book to anyone. It's listed as an adult graphic novel but I think it has a message kids could relate to as well, as Jonny struggles to fit in and find his tribe of friends.

“Perhaps the only thing sadder than saying goodbye to a friend is knowing that they will never be the same as who u remember them to be.” I can't tell whether I feel sad or happy after reading this. :(

My Review: Hi guys, I found this book really good. It made you think after each page. Making me realize of metaphors, life, toxic relationship, mental illnesses, so many things. I did not like it as much. This book does not lead full pages of words or paragraph to be enjoyed. I would recommend it to anyone. Even kids. I think it should be put in schools. Yes, its are written with non-correct words. I think that what I like the most about it. I gave it a 4 Stars And would re-read it and will re-read it for sure. Jozay XO

I'm so disappointed. Some of these panels were actually pretty cute and the sweet friendships managed to put a smile on my face. But most of it was maladroit attempts at philosophy that just absolutely did not hit the mark for me. Such a fun and cheery concept but wow this fell so short.

EVERYONE SHOULD READ THIS JUST BECAUSE ITS SO SWEET AND WHOLESOME. This is so precious. This is such a good book for someone who is struggling with mental health because it has that pure and innocent touch to such a difficult and sometimes dark topic. It is so wholesome and so precious. And Jomny is a precious little alien. And reading it made me feel less anxious about being alive and it was so cute. Precious. So precious and wholesome and just... PERFECTION.
