Over 2 years later and you're still replying to comments, amazing! Also, you have an amazing voice for reading, it'll make getting through this book for class a lot easier! I just subscribed.
Yeah, why not. I get maybe 5-8 comments a day, that's super easy to do. If I were getting a couple hundred than that would be really hard, but now its easy, and helps me build connections with viewers
Thanks for reading this I just got assigned this book and I couldn’t pay attention to it at all so I walked on a treadmill and listened to this the entire time I walked (I walked for 25:14 at 2.6 mph and I burned 6 calories, for those who were wondering)
Note 2 - Tom and Nick adventureeee - Tom and Nick meet Nick’s mistress, Murtle/ Ms.Wilson (I think that was her name) - Mr. Wilson is blonde - Mrs. Wilson was described in such a way that my body paused mid doodling ( why’d he describe her body like that eeeeughh) - Tom and Nick and Murtle adventureee - Murtle gets a baby dog - They all go to Murtle’s house, it’s furnished to the brim - Cathrine, Murtle’s sister, and some other people ( I think their names were Mrs.Mcree and Mr.Mcree. The Mr. Is a photographer ) arrive there too - Wine time - Cathrine tells Nick that Tom and Murtle both dislike their spouses, but Mr.Wilson is catholic so divorce is kinda off the table - Something about Murtle’s dress being pretty - Tom and Murtle Met on the train, Murtle eyeing him up but only actually meeting when off the train. - Cathrine met Mr.Gatsby before, telling nick that he’s the nephew or cousin of some rich guy ( Dr.Ebobovov or whatever, I think.) - Cathrine is kinda scared of him - You driftend off a bit here, but Murtle started saying Daisy’s name over and over until Tom sucker punched her, resulting in a broken nose - the two other woman started to auf the bloody mess while scolding Tom - what the hell - Mans fr throwing hands at his other woman TOM CALM DOWN JESUS - I’m a Tom hater rn - THEY JUST WLAJED OUTvv?? - Nick and Mr.Mcree fr just left and went to look at Mr.Mcree’s profoliosos HWAT. - 😟 - - what - also I didn’t expect the person who made these videos would see my notes, but hi, thank you for making these videos and giving me the extra details - - where is Gatsby.
For context, there is a book about a character from a show called Gravity Falls (it's a truly steller show, and i would recommend it to anyone in a heartbeat) that just came out, and in the book, Bill Cipher interrupts the book by replacing it with chapter 2 of The Great Gatsby
I wish my english teacher wasn't so against audiobooks, he had us read this chapter in class and only gave us a set time frame to read it then we had to do a quiz on it. Without question I definitely failed it
@@adrianboyer4310 sometimes RUclips doesn’t remember where you left off. So some viewers add a bookmark to come back to where they stopped listening :)
i actually really like this novel i think its because im cynical and angry i feel like nick in a way of watching myself interact with fake bastards realising that im essentially one granted i think i could argue im a better person than anyone in this book

Wow, nice to see the Book of Bill already has some audiobooks!
For context, there is a book about a character from a show called Gravity Falls (it's a truly steller show, and i would recommend it to anyone in a heartbeat) that just came out, and in the book, Bill Cipher interrupts the book by replacing it with chapter 2 of The Great Gatsby
I haven't seen the show but have only heard good things.
That however is a 10/10 joke! F****** Hilarious!
Lol 🤣

People be reading the Great Gatsby but I be wonderin where the Great Gyats be
I’m sure this would be funny if I knew what a gyats was
Is nick Gay?.
Probably not how he was written, but if that is how you want to see the story and it makes it more fun for you, then Nick's gay.
Here for English class 11th 😢

Is anyone else here because of The Book of Bill😂
What’s book of bill?
@@TheEssentialReadsit is a book about the lore of a kids show called “gravity falls”
Wow, this book is extremely boring so far.. Thanks for this video though, it really helps
It only picks up a bit. Sorry. There is a strange scene where it seems like Nick gets drunk and sleeps with a guy which is fun though
This book is awful
I totally agree who would want to make kids read this horrendous book
yeah... it isnt amazing
Facts
I am nothing more than a Tom hater
Oh just you wait
You’re going to hate him so much more
Everyone in the book is a terrible person Imo but
This book is garbage but I gotta read it for school
haha, it isn't the worst book in the world, but it is a bit weird to have a book where all of the characters are awful people
i actually really like this novel i think its because im cynical and angry i feel like nick in a way of watching myself interact with fake bastards realising that im essentially one granted i think i could argue im a better person than anyone in this book
@@TheEssentialReads The predecessor of shows like Seinfeld and Always Sunny.
@@RandomJayne I haven’t seen either of the shows. Are all the characters awful people too?
@@TheEssentialReads Not as much in Seinfeld but I haven't seen always sunny
