I find this book extremely demeaning and a complete insult to those who are genuinely struggling with mental health issues. If this man did not have a platform on social media platforms, this book would never have been published. Thank you for shining a light on ‘different’ children.

For example, I couldn’t tell you what I wore when I was 3 and exactly what people said and did and how I felt. It seems odd. It makes you wonder the validity of it and makes it feel like a story. I think if needed to either be written as a memoir or a fictional book (based on a true story). It’s a messy combination of both. I’m not sure how an editor read this and thought it was a good idea? This extraordinary childhood memoir is not only an important, thought-provoking and exhilarating listen, it gives hope and community for all those who have ever felt 'other' and proves how vital it is to provide children with the safe space to be themselves.

Anti-Escapism Aesop: Jonathan Joly's fantasy world is induced often whether he wants it or not, as a coping mechanism to escape the harshness and conformity of reality. With reference to the writing, I found this very jumbled. The narrator voice seemed to jump with no rhyme or reason and it was hard to know when in time things were. Is this child Jonathan speaking, or adult Jonathan, currently writing the book, reflecting on child Jonathan’s thoughts - a different font or colour perhaps may have helped here. I was intrigued when I saw this book, I wasn’t sure what to expect. My understanding is that this is Joly’s first book, and for that, it’s not bad. If this was written as fiction based on his life, I think it would read far better. I found it a little confusing. It’s autobiographical, almost written like a memoir, yet reads like a fictional book. There is in-depth description and constant dialogue. I really think that Joly could be a talented fictional author, perhaps in fantasy genre. I thought his story telling was captivating.

All My Friends Are Invisible Book PDF Summary

The anecdotes are extremely vivid and detailed - narrating almost minute by minute, word for word of a day that happened to a 4 year old, over 30 years ago. To me, this is wildly unbelievable - maybe it’s just me, but I wouldn’t be able to describe what happened in my life 2 days ago as detailed as the days in the book are. Aspects come across as a very fabricated story, which makes it hard for me to read and take onboard as being factual. Despite this, the stories told did have my hooked, but as if I was reading the life of a character. Despite this, All My Friends Are Invisible is a well-paced and well-structured narrative. Certain scenes, such as one of confusion over the clumsy delivery of bad news, are deftly handled, humorous and suspenseful. I don’t really know where to begin with writing a review for this book. I have been in a reading slump for the last couple of months and have got maybe 2 or 3 chapters in and DNFed a lot of books, but this was different - I couldn’t put it down, and had I not started it late at night, I think I could have read in one sitting. I think this is an extremely good feature of a book, griping it’s reader. PDF / EPUB File Name: All_My_Friends_Are_Invisible_-_Jonathan_Joly.pdf, All_My_Friends_Are_Invisible_-_Jonathan_Joly.epub

Ambiguous Gender Identity: Jonathan Joly identifies as non-binary, meaning that he does not conform to either the binary gender identity of male or female. He reveals that he played with girls' toys, thought of himself as a girl and was bullied for his non-conforming gender identity in school. This extraordinary childhood memoir is not only an important, thought-provoking and exhilarating read, it gives hope and community for all those who have ever felt ‘other’, and proves how vital it is to provide children with the safe space to be themselves. This extraordinary and beautifully-written childhood memoir is not only an important, thought-provoking and exhilarating read, it provides hope and community for all those who have ever felt 'other', and proves how vital it is to provide children with the safe space to be themselves, the absence of which can have dire consequences. However, i do believe some parts of the story felt whimsical and surreal in a way that made you question if the story was completely real as I felt there were a little bit too much detail in some parts-especially with how young Jonathan was at the time. I did find it jarring with the switching between Jonathan and his inner friends, because I wasn't always sure who was speaking in that particular moment. This extraordinary childhood memoir is not only an important, thought-provoking and exhilarating read, it gives hope and community for all those who have ever felt 'other', and proves how vital it is to provide children with the safe space to be themselves.I confess that I've never heard of Jonathan Joly, so had up Google him. Turns out he is part of a famous YouTube family, just one I've never heard of. Clearly Joly is a deeply unhappy child who no one recognises is in need of support. He emphasises that he now has no friends, only invisible ones. Friends in the real world are something he “can only imagine, and never experience”. Now, once more in Domdie, in that alternative world, he is told by one of its inhabitants: “It’s time to open the box.” All My Friends Are Invisible is Joly’s account of what that box contained, and how it came to be closed as a teenager before its reappearance in his life decades later. Moreover, I felt that some parts of the story ended without proper explanation or elaboration which left you confused and wondering were the rest of the chapter had gone. I believe that some chapters needed to include rest of that particular story/memory in them even if there wasn't a resolution. Having said that however, I feel my review needs to reflect that this book is said to be childhood memoir, and I feel it reads very much as a fictional novel.
