Oh man. Had to read this for class and I still think it’s bad. Maybe that’s just me. Thank you, though! I couldn’t have understood this story if I had read it myself.

Beautiful rendition!

Wtf does this mean

Loving, evocative, powerful story of growing up and life with his parents siblings and their community.

Listening to this story makes me realise how I need to develop my writing skills.

This story makes me cry

Damn, this is a much better piece of writing than I remember it being...

Heck! This is good stuff! 😯👏❤

Thank you so much.😊

Thank you

Perfect reading , you helped me to really understand the deep meaning ,reading between the lines ! Thanks.

4 years ago I'd read this for high school. It was a long read that I despised, but I liked it. Today, after graduating college, I revisit in hopes to be guided by Tim's words again. I want to quit my internship I just started a week ago. But even as short as a week, I knew from the bottom of my heart this is not what I want to do with my life. To others, I may be disrespectful and irresponsible. But I know that if I don't quit this job, I'd but see myself a coward.

I love audiobooks thank you!!

I see that I commented on this book two years ago, and since, I have listened to it three or four times, and it gets better each time. It's one of the best stories, sensitively read, that I have ever heard.

I’m here to read it for English class 😑

Thanks for this. Alice Munro died yesterday, May 14th, 2024 at age 92.

Very interesting! I enjoyed the video. I hope you have a blessed day 🙏💒

I am reading it right now 😂

Very poignant story ❤

The background music is intrusive. It doesn’t support the excellent narration or the story.

Reading this in class instead of reading the paper copie lol thank you

My only recommendation is add the text on screen!!! ❤

A recommend. No thanks sounds depressing. Victims need uplifted.

Amazing!

Thank you.

so real.

Beautifully written and read. Thank you for posting this.

didn't feel like reading this since I'm tired glad I found a audio version

tom cruise?

Like God, or the gods who look on in absolute silence, as we live our lives, as we make our choices. Or fail to make them.

Filthy, all that dirty talk about tampons made me wanna throw up. I stopped listening at that point

Thank you. This was great to listen to with your comforting voice💕

Holy shit man this is relatable. Especially that fear he had over his ear.

Thank you for the review !

Really wanted to like this book, and man, it let me down. Very disjointed and confusing at times, and the ending without spoiling, is an incredible let down. I loved wolf in white van, couldn't get into universal harvester, but this book.....well it sucked. I like his writing style, and this book was definitely a foray into a new feel for darnielle, but it just feels like he rushed to get it done in the last couple chapters. Spoilers below Like, I'm not sure where I missed it, but I have no idea who the narrator is in the ending besides a stand in for someone who knew Gage when they were 6/7, which is incredibly strange to begin with, being so young, but also, it means nothing at the end, because it serves no purpose other than to keep hitting the dead horse into the ground about protecting people involved in the stories covered by true crime authors. And the twist? No siraj, which was already revealed halfway through the book, but the main suspect is someone who's never mentioned at all leading up, it's just an empty name with no explanation whatsoever. Also, besides the "protecting the involved", there's no reason at all to include the witch murder at all, besides the letter part which drives home the above mentioned. The part where he describes the king and heir or whatever was a complete fever dream and I have no clue what the fuck John was thinking putting that in (beyond his old habit of equating things to high fantasy) Really a letdown. I really hope he finds his footing in his next novel. Like I said, really enjoyed white van a whole lot, listened to it on audible multiple times. This one... probably won't ever experience it again. Was looking for a video to explain the ending because it feels completely empty, like I missed not just the plot but the novel itself.

Really love your review videos and overall content. I could listen to your insight all day. Hoping you come back and post more videos!
