The Escape Manual for Introverts
The Escape Manual for Introverts | Katie Vaz
13 posts | 14 read | 27 to read
Trapped in an airplane seated next to a chatterbox? Are you hosting a dinner party with people who just won't leave? Katie Vaz has the key to your escape. The Escape Manual for Introverts guides readers through different scenarios with themed chapters ("Friends," "Family," "Strangers," etc.). Each chapter covers a range of situations, from an invitation to karaoke night to group lunchtime. And she offers a number of escapes for each scenario: bringing odoriferous foods to lunch for a while, having a pet (real or imagined) that "requires" frequent check-ins, and even investing in a jet pack. This book features Vaz's full-page illustrated spreads, hand-lettering, and spot illustrations. From the silly to the sincere, Vaz's clever, hilarious escape plans and bizarre excuses speak to the introvert in all of us.

Though, to be fair, they've also helped this introvert start conversations that otherwise I wouldn't have started ☺📖

Well, that was a fun quick read. What I‘ve done lately though, with friends and coworkers is this: “Look, I‘m an introvert and y‘all are making me tired. I have to leave.” It‘s worked surprisingly well. I haven‘t solved the waiting room dilemma though; those people will talk to you even if you‘re reading! Grumpy Monkey was also fun. A friend got it for me because she says I make that face a lot; she‘s probably right. 😊

While I don‘t use lunchtime to run errands, I do go to the park and read or walk.

I found a kindred spirit in Katie Vaz. I can attest to many of the escape plans in this manual as I‘ve used them successfully many times myself. 🤣🤣🤣Picked up a few new techniques as well.

More entertaining than actually helpful, it was a cute book with interesting pictures that made me chuckle.

If 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.

4/5

This is a super quick, fun read with advice for introverts ranging from useful to outlandish. I'm definitely guilty of executing more than one of the milder escapes, and I think any introvert is going to see themself reflected somewhere in this book.

The illustrations are very cute and add a lot to each escape scenario.
