This Amazing Review is Not On Fire!

Hello Internet!
Following the reviews of Girl Online and Username:Evie, here's another Youtuber book review...Yep you guessed it right! It's TABINOF or for those who aren't part of the phandom 'The Amazing Book Is Not On Fire' by Dan Howell and Phil Lester.Dan and Phil are by far one of my favorite youtubers and the moment I saw their book trailer I knew I had to read this!
This book definitely lives up to its title! It's amazing and didn't catch fire...yet...
So let's start from the start.Just looking at the cover can tell you that this book is going to be just as crazy and fun as they are.And while it does have the tagline 'The World Of Dan and Phil' you don't need to be their fan to read this. In fact if you're just curious about who these people are then this book is the perfect place to start! It doesn't take much to get you hooked on to the book..I didn't even reach past the dedication and I knew I would be pulling an all-nighter with this one..
I think the reason that makes it so interesting is that it's not the biography of a youtuber or a work of fiction by one either. This is literally their world mould into a book! It starts right from their births and goes on telling their story of how they became the people we now know them as.
I love how instead of just narrating their past they decide to make it more personal and authentic by adding pages from their diaries and dream journals.(If you're reading this Dan...I hope you're working on your handwriting..XD) You don't just get a glimpse into their lives but right into their minds with pages like Going Deep and Brain Farts(yep..that's an actual thing).
But I think the best part is that you don't just read this book..you can hear them telling you about their adventures in Japan and Vegas (I still don't think the mafia was involved..) and urging you to find out what dining chair you are (I'm the orange one!)
Then of course there's the Phanga and the Phanart and the Phanfics( The Urge and The Hand...like seriously guys...)
Now if you still don't think you should read this book, here's a piece of advice: Go read this book!
If you're not interested in Dan and Phil you might still learn a lot of things like how to breed hamsters or advice on starting a Youtube channel and most importantly How to draw the perfect Cat Whiskers!
So go pick up this extremely aesthetically appealing book on which these young men have obviously worked so hard!
Or if you have already read it then tell us what your reaction was in the comments below!
See you all soon!
Till Then,
Read, Write, Relish!
