Hey, guys! So, this is a change of pace. The youtube sensations Dan and Phil wrote this book about their lives in a scrapbook style. This is different from most books I review here, but I was indecisive about whether or not to read it, so I thought I'd review it to help people like me. If you have no idea who they are, maybe skip this review.

I love this cover/ title combo. It combines both Dan and Phil's usernames (danisnotonfire and AmazingPhil) and adds "book" in as well. The cover just tells you what you are going to get. Solid A cover.
Official Description:
Hello reader,
In this book is a world. A world created by two awkward guys who share their lives on the internet!
We are Dan and Phil and we invite you on a journey inside our minds! From the stories of our actual births, to exploring Phil's teenage diary and all the reasons why Dan's a fail.
Learn how to draw the perfect cat whiskers, get advice on what to do in an awkward situation and discover which of our dining chairs represents you emotionally. With everything from what we text each other, to the time we met One Direction and what really happened in Vegas...
My Review:
I really enjoyed The Amazing Book is Not on Fire. You definitely have to be a fan of Dan and Phil's youtube channels to have it make any sense, of course you're probably not interested in it if you are not. The way its formatted is that about half the book is full of various multiple page long stories and the other half is more of a scrapbook style with side conversations between Dan and Phil and various other small "sketches" such as the guide to draw the perfect cat whiskers.
It was a fun read, very light. It is more of a coffee table book (meaning that it has about 2-3 page segments that you can spread out) than a novel, so keep that in mind.
Overall, it was a really enjoyable read. The book included sections such as Dan and Phil's university years, fanfictions they wrote about themselves, and the lifestories of Becky and Jessica.
I would recommend it only if you are already a fan of theirs and realize that it's not a full novel and is formatted differently. I'm glad I read it!
Happy Reading!
