Awkward Family Photos **

Awkward Family Photos

Product Description:
Based on the hit website, AwkwardFamilyPhotos.com (“painful, regrettable, horrifyingly awesome snaps of family bonding, you will laugh so hard that people in adjoining offices will ask what’s wrong with you”—Esquire), this full color book features never-before-seen photos and hilarious personal stories covering everything from uncomfortable moments with relatives, teen angst, sibling rivalry, and family vacations from hell. Cringe at the forced poses, bad hair, and matching outfits--all prompting us to look at our own families and celebrate the fact that we're not alone. Nothing says awkward better than an uncomfortable family photograph!

Do picture books count as books? I'm not sure, but I'll include this one. I read it in under an hour while waiting for a Dr's appointment. (He was running very late.) It was entertaining, I suppose, but I think the only reason why I kept at it was because I was stuck waiting with nothing else to do. To me, it was like looking at too many of a friend's vacation pictures. A handful of pictures are fun to see, but after a while your eyes glaze over. This was a bunch of only somewhat humorous photos and commentary, and it seemed to go on for too long. I think that, like the Post Secret books, this is a concept that works much better in blog format.
