Life is a Circus Run by a Platypus by Allison Hawn (Book Review)

Life is a Circus Run by a Platypus by Allison Hawn is a fantastic book.  I give it 5 stars!

Allison Hawn provides a commentary on her life experiences in Life is a Circus Run by a Platypus.  This book is charming and approachable.  It reads in a way that lets you into Allison's personality - witty and sarcastic.   She is a fantastic story teller and this book can easily be converted into a show/comic strip resembling Life with Louie, Bobbys World, or Malcolm in the Middle.




Allison wraps every chapter up with takeaway life lessons that may not be apparent as you read.  The laughter a reader experiences is enough to distract from any surface level lesson.

Lessons include but are not limited to:

  • Why you should be cautious eating Grandma's soup
  • How to apartment shop
  • Why you should ask questions before agreeing to pet sit.
  • Little Caesars Pizza (the employment experience)
Honestly, Allison should go on a stand up tour.  I can't say enough about how much I enjoyed this book and am looking forward to her other book Life is a Pirate Ship Run by a Velociraptor.
