Mindhunter by John Douglas | Book Review |
Happy birthday gorgeous!!! Hope you have a wonderful day!! Much love always
just finished this book and this was the video i was looking for amazing review!
About Anne I felt very protective of her , and I didn’t know how it ended because it’s really not a thing to have a teen read this, my mother gave it to me when I was like 15/16 and she was 13 so I felt really protective, I was sure she was going to make it, I cried so hard so so hard in the end. My mother never told me the end, I was so involved and invested in her survival… I also start to cry when I think about her.
I got here just to practice my listening but you really captivated me with that amazing way to tell the story. Keep doing what you do girl. You have a new suscriber. :)
Aww thank you so much! I really appreciate it!
one thing ive never realized about about the two differances between Mina and Johnathan is that.just how opposite their roles are! Mina is more of the "masculine" woman and johnathan is a more "meek" man. Renfield in the novel is forever loyal to his beloved Master Dracula. i cant stand Dr Seward or Quincy Harker. Your suppose to like the heros but i as a woman myself i find them annoying and irratating.
I loved this review! I definitely share your passion for the story. The child's POV was such a clever technique- and I think that him using both baby talk and more adult terms is actually not that gsr off. Kids absorb whatever they hear- it makes sense thwt his vocabulary would be somewhat mixed.
I’m going to re read this series I kinda miss it
Sell your book using your real info
Why are you using my name you stole my info from hospital why?
Total agreement! Such a thought provoking book and really made me appreciate alot more about childhood AND parenthood 😭💕💕
I gotta do a book report on it to enter secondary The info in your vid was so useful !
love it!!!
? ᑭᖇOᗰOᔕᗰ
Long time. Welcome back
It has been a long time! Thank you ☺️
I ENJOYED WORKING HARD, I ENJOYED STUDYING HARD, I ENJOYED GIVING MY BEST IN EVERYTHING :)
MY GREY BY E L JAMES AS TOLD BY CHRISTIAN COST 453PHP. I BOUGHT THIS BOOK IN KCC MALL DE ZAMBOANGA CITY.
I'm new copy is 400 pages, I'd say it starts more around the page 100 mark. Before that is before he got to the FBI like childhood etc, apart from the prologue. I got another 100 pages to go till the end and I fecking love it.
I’m on about page 50ish and was wondering what the hype is about bc it seems very poorly written (with too many short sentences) and like he’s almost rambling :/ , Hoping it will get better
Douglas says in the book he didn’t believe Charles Manson would be a threat to the public if released lol.
I have just discovered your channel and really appreciate your intelligent assessment of Night. I believe, however, that his underlying emotion is pain at the bestiality of man. I don't doubt that there is hatred for all that happened, but what I take away from all I've read and heard from Eli Wiesel is his desire for humanity to be humane.
I find it sort of droll and uncanny that in the book 'American Psycho' , that Bateman brings in two women,, prostitutes, and abuses then with maybe a knife and a coat hanger, the In a subsequent scene insouciantly talks about having to talk to a lawyer with something to the affect of "a bogus rape charge" . As if didn't understand the depth of his harm to the two ladies. I wonder how many readers' heads this went over.
If you think this book is disturbing, read Naked Lunch, by William S. Burroughs.
Oooooh ok I will! Thanks!!
@@readingwithkayla941 A point about Naked Lunch: don't try to re-read the sections for more than a paragraph or two; the book is very non-linear series of loosely-related vignettes. Don't look for a plot. It has to be thought as a bizarre steam of consciousness emitting from a drug-induced mad man's mind. LOL.
@@TheSteinmetzen oh ok, that’s interesting. I’m curious what it would be like to be in the mind of someone on drugs. I’m definitely going to give this one a read soon.
Her name is pronounced "Greet."
Lol thanks, yeah I rewatched the movie like a week after I posted this and realized I was saying it wrong the whole time 🤣
@@readingwithkayla941 , any must reads?
@@PhantomOfManyTopics I would say The Painted Veil by W. Somerset Maugham. It has a period piece kind of vibe and feels completely immersive in a culture like Girl With A Pearl Earring did for me. I loved it!
@@readingwithkayla941 , mine is Seven Eves by Neil Stephenson
I watched the show first and just finished the book a couple days ago. The show is complete shit. After reading the book the show makes me angry. They leave the viewer wondering if Wayne Williams was really innocent. Plus what’s with the story line about Bobs son it added nothing plus they just made it up. The actor that plays John Douglas is all wrong. I highly doubt John Douglas would ever get close enough for Kimper to hug him. The books awsome. I loved it from beginning to end.
I have that version of Sarah’s key too - it’s awesome
I can’t wait to read it!!
Great books - I’ve just got becoming Jane Austen (I’m new to your channel so I’m catching up 🤪) hi from Australia 🇦🇺 👋
That’s awesome!!!! Hello Australia 👋🏼 hello from the USA ☺️☺️☺️
This is my ALL-TIME favorite movie. I need to read the book...and I will.
Great review 👍
I can't hear you at all I am gard of hearing ur mumbling 😭😭😭
So courageous! Heart grabbing book!
This book is a very lazy copy paste of the first one, completely missed opportunity to really go deep into Christian’s character. Darker was slightly better, and since it took her all this time to write a third one, hopefully she considered all the criticism and came out with something good. Will you be reading it?
Hmm I actually might. I wasn’t going to but the fact that you said Darker was slightly better makes me wonder if they do get better. I’ll have to think about it for sure.
I relate to your reasoning for wanting to read this novel, my high school history teacher had a day called “hotdog day” where we would read the stereotypical book excerpt and eat hot dogs as a class. Deeply gross environment and I’m not even sure what we were meant to learn from that. But, it introduced me to The Jungle, flash forward 4 years I finally picked up the book. I started reading with the mindset of someone who grew up on a dairy cattle farm, I wanted to gain more appreciation for current practices by reading about the conditions that spurred legislation in the agricultural industry. While Sinclair did deliver stomach turning descriptions of slaughterhouses, I’d wager his exposé of how mistreated the American work force is in an inherently rigid system is equally is upsetting to stomach. I believe the parts with the greatest impact where learning that Ona was around 16 for their travel to American and experiencing thes plights as a child and when Jurgis realizes that he helped a man who owned the house that basically caused his hardship to intensify. These concepts show that the system is unfair and unbiased in who they crush to get ahead. While I wish the ending was different and I really wish I knew of the longer version before I read it! This is now one of my favorite books. Everyone should read it in their lifetime. I’m a sucker for politics and I appreciate that this book had subtle references to capitalism in the perfect metaphor that slaughter houses have with the proletariat but the ending could’ve been a little toned down! Side note: I also didn’t like the strike bit about the new laborers, the writing definitely seemed racist to me and I felt awful reading it. I think it enlightened to me how people can justify their actions of getting ahead even after they suffered the same way the people under them are, a true cog in the machine. Where Jurgis feels a sense of superiority over people who are equally oppressed. Instead of sympathy he falls into ego.
I would like to recommend another graphic novel: "My Favorite Thing is Monsters" by Emil Ferris. It is a gritty story of a girl coming of age in sixties Chicago. The art work is complex and detailed in both beauty and ugliness. The Amazon preview will give you a good idea about the art work. Just for the record, I am no person to speak on graphic novels, as this was my first, and I was pleasantly surprised. (I have no interest in super heroes or magical worlds.) Maus Part l is my second venture into graphic novels, and like you, I quite like it. I am now ready to begin Maus Part ll. Thank you for your review.
I like your reviews. Found you on autoplay when I was doing research for a paper. Keep it up!
Thanks so much!!!
But you did a great job, how you connected the Racisim and Labour issues and the history...Just awesome
It is the twenty-first century and people still eat meat :(
Read so many comments regarding this book that it was so predictable, no twist etc etc. But I think the book is about why a certain character did a certain thing rather than who actually did. Things that happen to Ellie, my god, really hard to absorb. Now I need to escape from this book space and rea something lighter.
Yeah I completely understand where you’re coming from.
Had no idea this was a movie. Reading it now. Dang, this lady knows what she's doing with a story.
For real!
It's like a soap opera.
What do you think about the part of mistery of the novel? Don't you see a bit bad, vulgar, clumsy, and macabre, the fact that the father is the murder of the dog that his son so much loves... And that he kill him because he is jealous from sr. Shears...?
His father is a good man!
The Lovely Bones will crush your heart too.
Oh man, I had a feeling it would. I really need to start reading that one.
Love your thoughts!
Awww thank you so much!!
Such a great review! I'm anxious to get a hold of a copy from the library thanks to this video😁
That’s awesome! I am positive you’re going to love it 😊
Can i read it, I am 13 year old
Am 13 and I found it quit readable so I’d say yeah. It’s been a year since you posted this comment so your probably not 13 anymore now but o well.
@@roseforest8950 🤣🤣 not 13 but thanks anyway
@@animelover-bb4fk lol your welcome
I wish that there are more story line about Christian and Elena relationship, his abuse, him growing up, his relationship with his parents and siblings instead of sex. Most of the content of email seems like a copy and paste from the first book. I think it is funny on how many time Christian have to tell himself to get a grip of himself or at a situation.
I completely agree! I would’ve loved to see more depth into his past. That would have been super interesting.
(Spoiler alert) I totally agree with your thoughts on Hanna and Theo being together!!!!! It made me feel weird and I kinda wish it was explained more
I know right?! Same!
I started to read this book The Night by Elie Wiesel years and years ago, but never had the chance to finish it. I am WW2 history buff. I’ll seriously be reading the whole book 📚 in 2021 definitely. We should never take freedom for granted, ever. 🌹🌹🌹😥😥😥
Awww I’m so glad you’re going to read it. It will stay with you forever. And yes, freedom is so precious ❤️
Reasonable doubt is one of the best audio books I have ever heard the characters were fantastic and by the time you find out what happened to Andrew you understand why he is so cruel at the end of the book it tells you how true love is worked out I give this book 50 stars Whitney g. Thank you
Thank you so much for your comment! ☺️
This is a great listen. I totally loved th his book. I'm not sure why this pod is about. I though Andrew was very up front and clear about his reasons. Everyone has that one person who can melt your heart. Anyway I give this book 5+ stars.
Awesome finds.. i recently got back into reading & am excited to check out my goodwill for books i know the goodwill by me has a ton :)
