I received an advanced copy of Fowl Language: The Struggle is Real from Net Galley in exchange for a fair and honest review.

I’ve always been a huge fan of Brian Gordon and his sense of humor, so it came as no surprise to me that I enjoyed Fowl Language: the Struggle is Real. It’s a quick and fun read, and for those of you that haven’t been following him before now, I highly suggest you look up his webcomic (which is where the comics in the novel pull from).
Gordon has a knack for making his comics endearing and relatable – even to people who have not been in the circumstances he’s talking about. For example, I’m not a parent but I greatly enjoy his parent series, as it’s hard to miss the human elements he uses to tie everything together. I’m sure parents also find his work hilarious, likely shouting “me too!” or “been there!” at particularly whimsical moments.
