Under the Whispering Door by TJ Klune | Book Review
Here is my SUPER LATE review of Under the Whispering Door by TJ Klune.
If I seem slightly unhinged lol this was recorded just before Christmas (yes, it is that late). Thanks for being patient and understanding with me! EVERYONE EVERYWHERE has been sick, which has made everything hard and tiring. But anyways, here it is.
We did an episode about this on the podcast as well if you wanna check it out:

    Hello everyone! Maybe someone can help me? I had a Terry Pratchett audiobook (in german). It started with Commander Vimes on a tree in a snowy landscape and he wasnt wearing anything. I remember some werewolves were also involved. Does anybody know which book that could be? Im sorry for the obscure description, I cant remember anything else.

    My favorite book of all times. I read it five times and listened to the audiobook twice and I always find new clues and interpretations. The only work that came close to the atmosphere from "Piranesi" was a weird novella, "Tainaron. Mail from Another City" by Leena Krohn. The two short stories by Jorge Luis Borges that inspired the author are amazing as well. They are "The House of Asterion" and "The Library of Babel".

    Just pick up a book and start reading. I don't care which book - the man was a genius, you will latch on no problem and if you're part way through a "collection" like the guards or death books, you'll finish and then just want to go read the first one and start over. And that's no bad thing. They came out in the order they came out, they're all incredible, they're all meaningful, they're all a joy. Just start reading one. There's no wrong order. I read them chronologically, because that's how I had to read them - and I found it interesting how you missed certain characters reading it in thematic chunks. I felt that reading them in chronological! Found myself wondering when I was getting more Granny Weatherwax, or (as you say) Luggage, or Vimes... but on the other hand it meant you never knew what was coming next - back to existing characters vs something totally new - and the surprise was always, always delicious. CATS. CATS ARE NICE.

    Yes, the pictures on the wall at the shop are of his other stories. There's a mention of a castle on a cliff, which is a reference to his Tales of Verania series, which is great fun (and very adult), and I think a third is a mention of his werewolf series, Green Creek, if I remember right.

    Thank you for this review. I actually am neurodivergent. I have Autism and dyslexia. I wanted to read the book cause I loved the show and USUALLY "The books is better" but I'm halfway through (after 2 weeks of at least 4 hours a day) and I feel like it's written by a child so I wondered if anyone else struggled or if it was just my neurodivergent brain so thank you. I'm moving on to the next book!

    You mentioned at the end that all the end that all the romances are strait F/M relationships which is true for the main Watch books however there is a one off book Monstrous Regiment which is Watch adjacent as the watch are quite large side characters. This book is a sort of Discworld Mulan and has a lot of exploration of gender and features a gay couple as 2 of the main cast. I would very highly recommend it. Also your baby is so sweet, glad they're so happy and healthy <3

    I didn’t like this book. I enjoy weird fiction but this was actually pretty boring. Extreme concepts like this, I’ve found, work better as short stories. It’s a lot to handle for hundreds of pages. The shock wears off. I agree it was more about a cult.

  • @boredgrass
    @boredgrass 2 года назад

    Illustrations: Highly visual books do not necessarily need illustrations. J. K. Rowling “covered" the whole world of Harry Potter in the text. Your review and the large audio book project of Penguin gave me the impression Pratchett "had it all in his words" as well! Yet you showed a lot of illustrations. That leads me to my question: Are there editions that vary in terms of illustrations, perhaps for different age groups? Or, are the illustrations an integral part of the books, like in Gormenghast or Alice in Wonderland?

  • @Beardedbeauty33
    @Beardedbeauty33 2 года назад

    Geek Love is definitely one of my favorite books. Yes, it is very hard to stomach in some parts of the book, but I think that’s the art of it all. Love that the characters are all really unlikable and crude and gratuitous. It just makes for a more complex and interesting story. Thank you for reviewing this book!
