I always imagined the book being boring and droll. It’s actually not. It’s one of the most entertaining books ever

honestly, has to be one of my favorite books that I got in sixth grade

This (along with John Green's Crash Course) is the best summary of the book I watched so far... And I've had to watch a lot cos the book absolutely baffled me

This is my favorite book of all time. I read it in high school and have loved it ever since!

Thank you so much for making this great video!I am recently having a oral assignment in school but I'm not a native speaker of English and I don't have enough time to read it all.Other than other summaries this video turns out to be much deeper, which is really what I need indeed.I hope you can keep going and make more high-quality videos!

I'm glad you mentioned how out of place Vic's cereal campaign drama felt. I honestly found those parts extremely boring & skipped over most of them. It almost felt like this easily could have been a short story that only had that added in to pad out the run time.

This book and the bible have opened my eyes.

I LOVE THE MOVIE BASED ON THIS BOOK!!!!!!

Its hard to read. I am not sure i enjoyed but i think okish.

I love watching the movies why the animals are speaking n myself reading the book. Thanks

This was one of the best stephen king books ive ever read. The portrait of a married in turmoil is so gut wrenching, and the ending… damn

why does this have so few comments?

I've just finished reading this book, it's only my second Ishiguro book after Klara and the Sun. I enjoyed both tremendously and your review as well

Haven’t thought about this book in awhile but honestly I love it even now. Read it in middle school and loved it even back then

I just start reading books.I bought this book from market.I don't know anything about books except my school syllabus.So please recommend something.

I read the book recently, and just finished the 1954 animated movie. Believe it or not, I didn't see Soviet Union/Comunism/Stalin in this. I saw it more as Germany in the 1930's and 1940's, especially the way the pigs were animated in the movie (they did a lot of questionable "arm" salutes, and in one scene, Napoleon was even goose-stepping). Not to mention Napoleon stating that he was going to make decisions for all the animals for them.

You mentioned a deep dive into Farenheit 451. I recommend 'End of Story' by Louise Swanson (pen name for Louise Beech) which is a variation of the book banning dystopia. I reviewed it last December.

A book I read in school I liked it then. But now as an adult I can see and understand much in it. I feel it's one of the truly great books.

Great review!

I just recently read it and quickly followed it with "Dark Matter" and "Upgrade". Of the three, "Recursion" is my favorite, as perfect a novel and piece of science fiction as is possible to write it seems to me. If Mr Crouch can surpass it in the future, my mind will be blown again.

This book's cover attracted me a lot.. felt it was saying to me buy me, so I bought it. I am 32 years old. 😅

Good video. By the way, the correct pronunciation is MARQuez. In Spanish, if there's a 'tilde' above a letter, you put emphasis on that. Márquez.

Wow! I watched so many videos about this novel but your representation and description are so interesting and enjoyable

What a lovely review! I just finished this book and loved it.

Orwell read We and got inspired to create 1984. Many themes and plot lines in 1984 simply repeat those in We. A bit upsetting that such a seminal work as We is so little known in the West. By the way, contrary to what one may think right away, We critiques not the Soviet comminism, but Fordism. That is, Zamyatin contemplated the book after learning of the conveyor belt and narrow specialization of workers that Ford innovated at his automobile production facilities. By the time We was finished, the Soviet communism was turning the way that a direct connection could be laid between the world of We and the Soviet communism.

Someone in my apartment bldg left this book sitting at the exit door of our garage propped up against the wall.....clearly they want Someone to take it lol.

Glad someone on the internet actually likes this book

I don't think their emotional intelligence is higher than ours. Huxley was an idealist. A nonconformist

Poor little Algernon😢

Hi dear! I hope you are well. I have watched your channel and videos (DanWhiteBooks). Got monetization on your RUclips channel but I found your source of income very low (monthly $0.76-$12). Your video is excellent but video optimization is very poor and no SEO score. And there are many problems. Your RUclips channel immediately needs to be SEO-friendly. I can solve all these problems. I am a Digital Marketer and SEO Specialist. You can discuss it with me if you want. Thank you

I am actually opposed to this book. The author could have chosen a kid from the nearby city or so. Bruno would have been so indoctrinated that it makes the whole story fall apart

I read this book several years ago and though I didn't know beans about Columbian history, I loved it. That said, I agree very much with this review. It's unlike any other book I've ever read, and I had to make a copy of the family tree to make little notes regarding who was who. That helped tremenously and I really enjoyed the story. Though I think I have run across copycat magical realism in perhaps other popular culture, this was my first real exposure to it in such an original form, and I have to say I was completely charmed by it. For me, the realism part of the term is how Marquez slips it in here and there and makes it all so natural and blended into reality. When I was done I read it echoed with historical events, but I did not pursue those at the time. What brings me back to this book is a radio documentary I heard recently about Minor C. Keith and the United Fuit Company. I cannot remember everything in the story and I think I want to enjoy reading it again.

Good to see you back! 🙂

Charity was the most annoying character ever. The character development is great but I agree, the advertising bullshit arc was pointless in annoying

This is my all time favorite book. Read it back in 6th when I was 12. Started reading it in class, couldnt put it down, went home and finished it that nighg

Can’t forget “ The Master & Margarita” 😅 sympathy for the devil baby #rollingstones

Lovecraft was horrid racist and reactionary for his time It was his Prejudice and paranoidia of the other that fueled his terror producing writing If HP wasn't a Creighton, he would never had been a great of a horror writer

Thank you for providing review of this book that is anything except endlessly flowing unjustified praise for the second coming of Christ in the form of Marquez. You are exactly right to compare this book to Catch-22.

Flat Land Rules ⭕

Extremely helpful introduction, focused on all the elements of what kind of reading experience this will be, rather than plot. Thank you!

I've read a really good dystopian book before titled 'Matched' by Ally Condie

"Mother" brought me here.

A very good review. I resonate with your thoughts after reading the book as well.

Utopians are the most deluded and dangerous to the fate of the world. Life is trade offs, get use to it! 😂

I’ve reed this beautiful book so many times… no Mather which book I encounter, classical or not, everytime I remember the last paragraph of Garcia’s book I always feel the need of crying.

Harry Potter movies were the best i have seen any till the date, but if you are saying that it pales in comparison to the books i am excited to read the books now, since those movies are so nostalgic to me.

Maybe I'm in the minority but I just didn't like this book. Historical inaccuracies aside....I just didn't feel much of a connection, not even at the end. Sad? Yes. But also a little shallow IMO. Maybe the movie is more powerful? Guess I'll find out

Very well written and spoken review! Really enjoyed the book. It felt different from Dark Matter and Recursion (the second being my favorite sci-fi novel of the past decade) in the sense that Upgrade felt less plot-driven and more of an internal monologue of the main character. It felt like there were far less dialogue scenes than in the other novels. Not necessarily lacking in characterization, but just more of an internal journey. When you stop and think back, the story beats & plot framework of the book are actually pretty fast and simple. Could easily fit in a two hour film, I think.

Magical realism it's just the product of a Latinoamerican worldview. It's exaggerated but representative. No floating priests but for example when people in Argentina heard that the guy who stole Eva Peron's body said that when he fell asleep for a while he woke up to his truck surrounded by flowers, they just went meh, so what else is new?

What a perfect name: Seed! The seeds of ourselves are planted and raised in our first years of life by our primary caregiver plants. We have to understand the roots our depression so often come from being neglected, especially emotionally, as children.
