- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The Escape Manual for Introverts by Katie Vaz is a 2019 Andrews McMeel Publishing release.A constructive, comical, and applicable guide for all introverts!Anyone following my reviews has probably heard me allude to my being an introvert. I’m not just an introvert- but an extreme introvert- I also LIKE being an introvert. Extroverts tend not to understand that, so I’ve read several books on how to bridge the gap or cope in an extroverted world.This book does a fine job of giving those who find themselves in overwhelming social situations a way out without looking anti-social or rude. Some of these suggestions are a bit outlandish, but most are quite plausible.My one complaint, though, is that the book is listed as a graphic novel. I’ll have to agree to disagree on that point, since I’d call it a self -help book with graphics included, since it is mostly written in black and white text. The 'graphic novel' description is used fast and loose and I think it's misleading.Although I was a bit irritated that the graphics weren’t quite as advertised, the artwork is a nice addition, even though it is a bit simplistic.While some folks might look at the antics suggested in the book as over the top, truth be told, I’ve actually done many of the things the author suggested. The great thing is these suggestions help one plan and execute the escape with grace and aplomb.Naturally, the book is also funny, and very relatable for the introvert- but It might also help extroverts gain a better understanding of how we think and how the stress of ‘peopling’ makes us feel.I think these tips will be especially useful at this time of year when the holidays present a slew of social invitations and family gatherings, which are very stressful, and invade one’s quiet alone time.The book is short, easy to read, and while some of it is a bit exaggerated at times. it is also very entertaining- and most of the tips are quite useful and I will certainly make use of them.Overall, this is a fun, little book all introverts will find helpful and enjoyable!4 stars
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5If you have not guessed, I am not an introvert, which is probably why this book isn’t for me. It’s both a joke, and a serious guide on how to get out of events. It tries to cover almost any situation you might encounter, and each situation is it’s own page. I like many of the ideas presented, and would not be offended if my introvert friends used these cues, but as a guidebook, it’s not really for me.August 5

To the fellow introvert
An extra amount of solitude is necessary for introverts to feel sane, yet finding ways to explain that to extroverts can be tricky. Just because we don’t want to go doesn’t mean we don’t like them, but that can be hard to get across kindly. As an introvert myself, I know how easy it is to get pulled into social situations if a proper excuse isn’t prepared ahead of time. Once you’re out, it’s just as easy to stay out longer than desired if a clever departure hasn’t
