What horrible past experience would cause someone to deduct four stars for a book, just because it has goats in it? What did goats do to this person?
Google "Goats Screaming like Humans" and you find out
@@SethPlato01are you kidding me?! I watch those videos to give me a good laugh!
It's clearly a troll.
Honestly loved them in that book. They were my favorite part.
Voodoo sacrifice? 👀😂
I recently finished the borne tril (strange bird, borne, dead astronauts) and I'm obsessed with them!! I love how you really have to dig for the answers for to some questions/details- the payoff is worth it! There is also a short story called 'the situation' which gives details about Wicks time at the company and his relationship with Mord (pre becoming a bear)
I liked Battle Grounds, but one thing happened that i think should have been moved to or closer to the end of the book so that it had more time to breathe. It felt rushed and not as big as it should have been. Other than that it was great. I think that was what put most people off though.
Yeah, it was admittedly an experiment that didn’t entirely pan out.
Battle Grounds is not bad... It's just that a lot of things happen... that some people might be having a hard time with.
I liked it but then I, like the author feed on Dresden's suffering enough that White Court vampires are jealous. It has some huge implications and moments though as you would probably expect from a name like that.
I get where that Battle Ground affecting other reviews is coming from, but totally disagree. I think it's exactly why you should read the series.
Murphy, since you only have about seven more books in the Dresden files at the when you get to the last one, would you do like a series like reading reviews and theories and things like that I just want to see what you think once you get the whole story through
LOL not the retroactive Battle Grounds reviews.
I get it, I can't judge how other people deal with their trauma :P
It beats throwing the book against the wall, which I have heard was common.
Am I the only one who saw the trauma coming? It was still bad when it happened, but not surprising at all. I felt like there was plenty of foreshadowing...
I know you don't tend to read Children's books/YA, but I just finished reading Lockwood and Co by Jonathan Stroud and I think you *might* like them!
The goats comment was golden 😂!!! Loved this video, hope you consider doing this again!!!! I laughed so much and you seemed to enjoy it as well. I thought I was the only one who read the one star reviews of books that I give five stars.
I love 1 star petty reviews !! I think I had a few of my own !
Merphy may I suggest you read the nemesis saga and the kaiju preservation society. And then read kaiju no. 8...pretty pretty please the books first then the manga.
🤔...Yes, I agree. It happens that I read it in that order myself. The Kaiju PS was really really fun even if first 2 chapters were 😮💨 and I needed to push beyond. I am collecting the Kaiju Nr8 manga now and the ANIME STARTED 🥰
Lol battle ground is tough but not bad... its also like part 2 to the previous book... so it has all the crazy climax intensity from a dresden book... but thats the whole book cause all the pulling at threads 'slower' bits were in peace talks. But also spoilery reasons. I think its still plenty worth the read.
Yes, if you put Peace Talks and Battle Ground together you get the flow of a normal Dresden book.
Well, he wrote them together. He just had to split into two books.
I always love these hilarious!
These are some of my favorite video but I do wish Corey was in it. Merphy turns up her outrage and snark a good 20% when he’s there.
Some of these reviews are too funny and on point & u on a roll today with 2 videos go girl
These are such fun videos 😂😂
I am 85 pages into Borne and I am quite enraptured. I just finished The Fractured Dark by Megan O'Keefe which I liked but its prose took effort. Borne is fun to read.
I think Vandermeer is writing future classics, strange, surreal, thought provoking books
Agreed! His work will be studied alongside Oryx and Crake. Ambergris or Southern Reach could each be a course!
I was so taken aback when a reviewer I enjoy completely panned one of my favorite books, one that is also very popular. He hated all the things that I love. Took a while for me to digest that.
These one-star comments are gold.
You make me curious about Borne...but I am not sure if so much relationship build with an alien maybe animal maybe sentuent beeing would be to my liking....but on other hand is way different than the ones I read currently which is good🤔🧐
This is the amazing 🤩 thing about reading and books 📚 in general. People can love one book 📖, but then another person can end up really disliking it. 😊 Ya tastes vary, we can all like or hate the same stories. That would be incredible otherwise 😀. ❤ Ok thanks 👍🏻. Be well 🙏🏻 my friend 💪🏻.
There's a concept in psychology called _limerence_ "an involuntary interpersonal state that involves intrusive, obsessive, and compulsive thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that are contingent on perceived emotional reciprocation from the object of interest" that seems to fit the woman in Letter from an Unknown Woman.
It's pretty understudied, but the researchers who write about it draw parallels to substance abuse or OCD. If the obsession and intrusive thoughts impair a person's ability to function in society, that person may benefit from clinical intervention.
If the depiction of 'love' in that novella strikes people as pathological that might be because it actually is. The phenomenology of limerence might be worth thinking about so we can prepare to recognize it in ourselves or others.
I really liked City Of Last Chances, and I’m looking forward to House Of Open Wounds.
My main complaint about Borne was that it didn't Borne enough
This is hilarious 🐐 I get annoyed reading 1 stars or even 2 stars of books I like so nice to see humor in the situation
Ouch... I got very scared about you getting spoilers with that look at the Small Favor reviews. Gotta be careful, there.
Interesting reviews for Unknown Woman. I've heard it said that more + more readers seem to think they have to agree with the characters or even narrator in a book to think it's a "good" book, and assume that what's going on in the story the author must approve of.
To me this is a pretty ridiculous way to read books and is definitely missing the forest for the trees.
All that said, I personally do not at all enjoy books centered around obsession, esp romantic, for whatever reason so I would almost certainly DNF 😅
I haven't read battlegrounds yet But unfortunately I read a novella that spoiled it That comes after battlegrounds I just didn't realize that
I’d get too upset if I did this with my favorite books. WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOUR TASTE IS DIFFERENT (WORSE) THAN MINE?
I haven’t read Battle Ground yet, but obviously the series isn’t finished. I think anyone giving retroactive one stars has to be kidding.
If you want to read something new in ficiton genre, you must pick Voyagers of hell. It's truly an original concept in fantasy-fiction.
I am google-ing it right now...
Who else is here after the Butterfly Myth video? XD
Bruh the other video not this one...
They both posted at the exact same time
The "No." review says so much lol
Hilarious video.
I've yet to give any Dresden Files books a 1 star but have given a couple of the more popular ones 2 stars. I seem to be in the minority that enjoys the simple detective stories more than ones where Harry is saving the world in epic battles, for the most part anyway.
It was a close call with Changes because I loved how well it was written but absolutely hated what it did to the protagonist. Couldn't decide between 5 stars and 1 star for a while so ended up splitting the difference with 2.5 stars.
I meant to say can like all stories lol 😆
I would put this at the hands of a teenager.
Merphy: NO!!
😂
Still waiting for Merphy to read the first book of The Wandering Inn... If she likes chess... You know, Erin Solstice also likes chess... In The Wandering Inn...
I'd consider doing this but never 5 star reviews of a book I hated. When I hate something I refuse to acknowledge someone liked it so I'd never purposefully seek those out. This can be fun tho😂
I didn't like Borne much either, but, like the first reviewer, it was mostly just a matter of having the 'wrong' expectations. I kept waiting for something to happen and it never did. I do agree that it's a tad juvenile though, I wouldn't call it YA per se, but it's not something I would not recommend to a teenager or even a preteen, tbh. Listening to it does reinforce the childish association though, because the narrator puts on an actual child voice for Borne. But overall, it being YA or kid-friendly doesn't mean anything; people sometimes think that YA or kid-friendly automatically means something can't be 'good' in a literary sense, but that's nonsense.
YA?! Uhhh… no?!…
SPOILERS???
…it’s a deliberately delicate, although subtle take on the very meaning of what it is to be human, the mother/child subversion, the struggling family, the heart wrenching truths revealed about our family members…
It’s a more heart warming and human look at what it means to be human, sentient and drowning in doubt, than blade runner ever was, easily one of my favourite novels
Each to their own though?! 😄
Also struggling to see that perspective. I thought the inclusion of s*xual violence from feral kids made it pretty clear this was not a whimsical ride, but rather that the tone would be eclectic and the consequences very dire.
Also, just finished an audiobook and I had a problem with the narration, but the book must stand completely on its own. Thanks for acknowledging that the impression may not be entirely from the text.
Could you please keep the covers or titles of the books on screen while talking about them? I have an attention problem and had to pause and go back three times to "catch" Borne 😁

No.
You claim to seek a new perspective from other readers, but clearly, your intention for this video is simply to be condescending to those who disagree with your opinions.. It's too bad your feelings are more important than respecting others.
