About this ebook

The Internet isn't all cat videos...

There's also Felicia Day - violinist, filmmaker, Internet entrepreneur, compulsive gamer and former lonely homeschooled girl who overcame her isolated childhood to become the ruler of a new world . . . or at least semi-influential in the world of Internet geeks and Goodreads book clubs.

After growing up in the south where she was 'homeschooled for hippie reasons', Felicia moved to Hollywood to pursue her dream of becoming an actress and was immediately typecast as a crazy cat-lady secretary. But Felicia's misadventures in Hollywood led her to produce her own web series, own her own production company and become an Internet star.

Felicia's short-ish life and her rags-to-riches rise to Internet fame launched her career as one of the most influential creators in new media. Now, Felicia's strange world is filled with thoughts on creativity, video games, and a dash of mild feminist activism - just like her memoir.

Hilarious and inspirational, You're Never Weird on the Internet (Almost) is proof that everyone should embrace what makes them different and be brave enough to share it with the world, because anything is possible now - even for a digital misfit.

She comes across very personable and chatty for a introvert. Not much of interest actually occurs though. Mostly She focuses on her own character, what few anecdotes there are are witty and informative but too sparsely spread to give five stars.

I don't think I could love this more, it has been one wild ride funny, relatable, geeky, loveable and touching overall. Making this nerdy, anxious, weird girl feel like she has a voice in this world that people might like to hear. Felicia has such a wonderfully unique view of the internet and it's many ups and downs that are shared through her ability to tell it like it is, even if it's a little self-conscious. She makes it feel like you're another one of her friends hearing the story of her life online and that is the feeling I will cherish from this book. Enjoy it, It really is one hell of a read.

That being said it does, this is the first book on Google, other than free ones so I haven't rated them, mainly got printed books.
