Gave this to a colleague with a really reluctant struggling reader the other day. She just returned it as the student loved it and now wants to read more. Hooray! It is really silly, full of gasps and giggles and perfect for a 1 sitting read.

I would classify it as a mostly female post-modern Peanuts gang.

Ini adalah buku yang saya beli di event Book Bad Wolf 2017 lalu. Sejujurnya, buku ini juga cukup saya rekomendasikan untuk anak-anak. Akan tetapi, ketika saya membaca lebih lanjut buku ini, wah buku ini penuh dengan humor yang membutuhkan berpikir dan agak sarkastik. Lucu sih, namun tidak mudah dinikmati oleh anak-anak apalagi usia SD. Buku ini sebenarnya cukup mampu membuat kita berefleksi atas lelucon-lelucon dalam hidup. Terkadang kita sesuai dengan tokoh-tokoh yang ada di buku ini. Pemarah, mudah gusar, sulit bersyukur, terlalu sering khawatir, takut, gila, benci hal-hal yang normal, dll. Buku yang menarik, membuat saya mentertawakan diri sendiri.

Another fun and cute read from Lela Lee!
This time, it's full of funny satirical comics of various cultures. As always, it stars angry little girls!
This time around, my favorite is the Angry Asian Girl ^^
She and Disenchanted Jewish Girl got along so well I could cry lololol
Again, not particularly appropriate for Angry Little Girls, but I won't object a bigger girl to read this!

My colleague bought this book for a Primary library and it ended it up in my hands due to a few of the vocabulary. Slightly unsure of the target audience but if you understand sarcasm it is hilarious!!

This is one of the good ones.
The book is entertaining enough for me to see the new point of view when it comes to feelings.
Can this book related to the concept of "mad women"?
Maybe.

I need to read more.

or

Listening to Taylor Swift's song "Mad Woman".

Being a mentally-ill girl is hard and annoying! That's the main thing I'm learning from this series lol...and I'm also learning that even though I was depressed the last decade of my life it's literally just due to my intense need for justice and feeling wronged every damn day of my youth

Still angry, still chipping away at stereotypes, still oddly delightful.

Mistakenly filed in the teen graphic novel section (although I think they might appreciate this, too).

Kim is most definitely my spirit sister

[Austin · Rating 4 out of 5]

Quite a bit funnier than the first one I read!! Just read it in pretty much one sitting in the library of my school and I had to hold back my laughter during parts that were really hilarious.

[Kelly · Rating 4 out of 5]

The little girls are still angry.

[Kari · Rating 4 out of 5]

Snarky funny female focused graphic novel/ comic strip - right up my alley. Simple bright pictures with limited text and classic characters...must explore more of this author's work...

[Lisa · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love this series. The cute little comics hit home about the different expectations of being a girl and the girls responses to them make me chuckle.

[Jay · Rating 3 out of 5]

Just as funny and cute as the original! A great bathroom read.

[Takata · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very funny and so original. Entertaining. Need to find out if there were others after this book.

FUNNY AF, FR

Also freaking hilarious! I love that the little Asian girl is forever flipping people off in the front of both of these books. And the way her mom says "r" instead of "l".

Here's a sample of the ridiculously NON-PC'ness of this author:

disenchanted (jewish) princess to Angry Asian: "What's it like to be Asian?
Angry Asian girl: "What's it like to be Jewish?"
DJP:I'm not really a practicing jew. I sometimes eat pork
AAG: I'm not really a practicing Asian. I sometimes use a fork.

and you have to see the pictures - it's just hilarious!!

Here's one more example:

AAG: take that you little white girl!
DJP: I'm not white, you're white!
AAG: I'm not white. Asians face a lot of discrimination still.
DJP: Well, Jewish people have been persecuted for centuries.
AAG: Yeah, but we can't blend in.
(while they're playing tennis) DJP: Score. Your point.

:). Now, since it's an Asian who lent me this book, and my dad was raised Jewish, it's pretty hilarious. And ridiculously non-PC. good times ;)

Not really a graphic novel since it's a bunch of Lela Lee's short comic strips, but it's hilarious! An example:
1. What are you doing?
2. I'm spending quality time with my boyfriend.
1. Let's go shoping?
2. Hmm...love or merchandise?
2. I'll take the merchandise!

These sweet little angry girls are so wonderful that I can hardly wait to go on to her third book! Lela Lee puts her finger on so many of the adult frustrations of life with humor and insight. Thank you, Ms. Lee!

Not as funny as the original but still very funny.

[Ashley · Rating 3 out of 5]

Cute comics. I like that the main character is Asian. There's a couple moments in there that you need to have an Asian mother to understand. :-)

[Megan · Rating 4 out of 5]

So funny!

[Emily · Rating 2 out of 5]

All in all ok. I was hoping more novel in this graphic novel, but more a collection of comic strips...with some real gems though! Maybe I'm not angry enough to relate to all of it.

[Kimlee · Rating 5 out of 5]

a cute sequel!

[Kim · Rating 4 out of 5]

Takes one to know one ;)

Still so funny!

Light satire for afternoon fun reads! Loveee Lela's work! <3

[Jasmine · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was cute. I love Kim and Deborah especially.

[Ariel Caldwell · Rating 2 out of 5]

Funny, wry, straight-up humour with simple artwork. Kinda reminds me of what South Park might be like if it featured only girls from POC/Jewish backgrounds.

[Kelsey · Rating 1 out of 5]

Didn't find it funny at all.
