This is by far my favorite Thug Notes video. I read a Wrinkle in Time when I was younger and barely got a word of it. After watching this, It's becoming a favorite book.
Wish this video existed when I was in the 4th grade
haha me too
Haha same except I read this in 6th
same XD
+Dat FancyIan Right
Nah, I actually enjoyed reading this one back then.
Good summary/analysis here, great video as always :)
This video breakdown is better then both disney movies combined
Also the movie denied us Centaur Ophra.
The movies were so bad..
Both? There were two?
It should have been animated instead
100
"Raggidy ass biddy" New name for all unknown encounters
Don't do drugs kids... you could end up a successful author.
+Joe Swamson it would be more impressive if you made a list of authors who weren't/aren't druggies/addicts xD
orson scott card has 4 good books
I hope some of those are in the Shadow Saga! Because I love the Shadow Saga.
One of the requirements of being a successful author is being a drug addict (yes that means you alcoholics too)
i knew this comment was going to be here
I remember reading this when I was in fifth grade. My mom bought us tickets to see a play of it, so she figured we should read the original source material first. I really liked both.
I wished they brought these series back with this same Genius that narrates this great stories!
Why haven't there been more thug notes? Also can you do the Dark Tower?
Like, the entire series? That's a bit much.
ittyandpocky He can do them one at a time.
+ittyandpocky That would be fantastic. Those books can be dense at times.
That would be cool! Do a mini series that covers a few books at a time.
smh
Damn. This book is ridiculous. I read it before, but I had forgotten how insane it was.
This was the first book I read on my own when I was little and was so lost and thought I read it wrong lmao
Oh - Phantom Tollbooth. There's an idea.
That's a great idea!
It goes without saying.
Rewatching all the “Thug Notes” over the holiday. I wish they’d bring this back.
Pretty much my favorite childhood book. It didn't make being the weird, smart kid fun, but at least it helped to know you weren't alone.
Hop on Pop by Dr. Seuss
bounce on papa bro
fuck me daddy by doctor salame
OH NO!
* whispers *
The Oedipus complex
Steven King's "IT". C'mon, homie. Do it.
well he did it
@@Noonereallylol holy shit its been 4 years
This is oddly satisfying seeing this comment five years later
Love Thug Notes! Makes me want to go out and read more books. He explains these classics in a way that I can relate. Keep up the good work guys.
I looooved this book as a child! I identified with Meg so much and I read this at least once every month. I absolutely love this vid! Keep it lit, Sparky!
I love, love, LOVE this book. It had a profound influence on me when I was a kid and I still consider it to be one of the most formative books of my life.
AND I'm really getting to love Thug Notes. Brilliant at getting to the heart of things - every one I've watched so far. Really!
I loved this video! The Wrinkle In Time series is always a favorite with me.
My mom read me and my brother this book during a long train ride to visit our grandparents, along with several Poe stories. It was just about the most idyllic childhood memory I have.
Do Holes by Louis Sachar
I prefer There's a Boy in the Girls Bathroom, myself. Both good, though!
I've been requesting that one forever. Louis Sachar is one of the coolest children's authors ever. I still love reading his books, even though I've grown up, and any day I can introduce one of them to the next generation of readers is a good day for me.
aadu7ec NO! DOGS CANT TELL JOKES!
Long time no see, Sparky! Awesome job covering one of my all-time favorites. I can honestly say this book was the only good thing to come out of my sixth-grade education.
I think the love thing up against IT inspired interstellar's finale
+Eddie Smock I think matt mccon called her out on her love clouding her judgement on what planet to visit. It wasn't beat over our head, but to risk your life on a journey just for a chance to see someone is some shit.
also the whole movie was about the love for family. Not to say I had that in my head the whole movie. But by the time the love speech came around, i was like "oh".
And what the hell was that thing at the end where Cooper says he'll find his daughter through the power of love? I mean, for a film as grounded as this is, that was just out of left field. Nolan always had a believable explanation for how his characters solved their problems. And this time around it's "the power of love"?
I think they also hinted at it when Matt Damon was telling Cooper that he would see his family just before he dies. Like we have this incomprehensible connection to the ones we love. But yeah the Anne Hathaway speech seemed a bit forced.
+Spanana It's a good theme but Nolan didn't incorporate it into the film in the best way. Interstellar is a Hard SF film. When you have "the power of love" as the core... It just feels weird.
+Ben Howard dont mean to drag this out. I get where ya coming from.
I just think he was trying to treat our concept of love as some underlying machinations of the universe we still don't completely understand. Like that taceract, black holes, and gravity spanning those dimensions of spacetime.
We know of the concepts, can give descriptions of what they are, but not how they truely work.
Metro 2033. Read it!
yes it is a fantastic one
nice one. yes plz do it
YES THIS DO IT NOW
Kyllä!
Yessum
I'm 3 minutes into this and im already askin' myself, Is he describing a concept for a Rick and Morty episode that got rejected?
Ew. Please do NOT compare the awesomeness that is Rick and Morty to this terrible story. lol. XD
+aesterase lol.
oh snap. Thanks. I've seen that one but forgot the title. Time got more f'd up than wrinkled there.
Or rick and morty was rejected from the story
Trailer came out today and I just HAD to come back and watch the TNOTES again.
What type of drugs did the author of this book take?
And where can I get some?
Ecstasy
Christianity
bath salts
Imagination
L'Engle was sober. She grew up in a religious family. Christian undertones are seen throughout her books
I thoroughly enjoy your nostalgic regurgitation of the written word.
Please. Keep on keepin' on brother.
He ain't got dem red eyes cause he blazin XD
I've been waiting for you to do this book for years. Thank you
jesus this story is all over the place :s
Danz Well that kinda happens when you jump from planet to planet. Kinda like Star Wars.
@@Hinatachan360 but Star Wars is way more easier to understand.
Finally another one! Please do more classics, maybe the hunchback of Notre Dame, Anna Karenina, Don Quixote, I loved those but there were so many things I didn't get
The Hunchback of Notre Dame would be amazing with thug notes!!
Okay I might have spent the last three days marathoning this channel and man it's AMAZING I'm in love with all of your reviews. And if you'd consider doing Blood Meridian I'd love it, I'm really curious of what you'd say about it... :)
Do Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions please.
Oh man, what a throwback. I haven't read this book in about 14 years! Overdue to open it up again.
how about miss peregrine's home for peculiar children? thanks
YES
Finally! I hoped you would do a video on this one day. I loved this book since I was a little boy and I hoped more people had read it.
You should review Naked Lunch or one William S. Burroughs other books.
I used to watch Thug Notes way back, a few years ago, and I thought the dude stopped making videos. Nice to find him again. Although, I dunno if I want to subscribe to Wisecrack when I'm uninterested in their other content. Still, good to see this again.
This was one of the first sci-fi/fantasy books ever so it might seem weird but it created a new genre.
I've been dying for new episodes of Thug Notes. Finally!
Please do Charlie and The Chocolate Factory and the rest of the Roald Dahl Series!!!!!
THIS IS ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITE BOOKS THANK YOU THUG NOTES 😭
When you want to use this in your classroom BUT THE LANGUAGE regardless I love this and will be watching to get ideas for my lesson plans >:D
Yay!! I hope you post more thug notes soon. I've missed them!!
Maus by Art Spiegelman or The Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller analysis, anyone?
This... is the best synopsis of this book I've ever seen. Well done.
what tHe FuCKkkk was that plot???!! I never read this, but this sounds absolutely fucking ridiculous
I agree that it does sound a bit ridiculous and out there when it's summarized like that, but the book is actually REALLY good. The events aren't really any more ridiculous than most sci-fi/fantasy, but the way it was written and they way it conveys deeper themes and lessons is why it's a classic.
Because it's a children's book. We read it in grammar school when we were in the 3rd grade.
It does sound absurd - but when you read it m, it makes a lot of sense; you really should give it a chance, its an amazing book.
A Wrinkle in Time is a classic!
Honestly it doesn't sounds like the world-building is consistent or not filled with every trope imaginable. The theme are shallow as fuck even for a children's book.
Yes! I need a video by wisecrack right now. I need something to lift my spirits
Please do The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint Exupery
Hey wisecrack i hopr you read this comment, my little brother has always been troubled,he showed no respect,no remorse for what he was doing.He almost always got into fights with our mom, teachers,and other kids no matter what size.We have tried for years to get him to behave.Eventually he went to juvenile detention for about 2 months,I cant tell you how much I cried because thats still my lil bro.Hes not allowed to watch youtube but when our mom is gone we watch it together(I usally have to help him. he's 12yo and is damn near illiterate).Well one day he had a project for his school where he haf to read this really hard book,way above his reading level(lord of the flies).Me being a long time subscriber and viewer sat him down,went to you're channel then pulled up thug notes on lotf.He absolutely loved it. because he rewatched it twice.We always watch thug notes together because he can understand what hes saying.Wisecrack thank you for helping my bro with his project(B- YAY).
This Book is Full of Spiders by David Wong!
YES
***** even for an ad hominem, thats pretty bad.
yes to this, but john dies at the the end, or fancy suits, would be better since there the first books
Awesome dude! This was my favorite book growing up.
You should do either The Girl on the Train, or Wicked (it's not at all like the musical, I promise).
Perfum: Story of a Murderer by Patrick Süskind
That is an amazing summary my friend. You did a fantastic job.
Yo Sparky, do The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West by Gregory Mcguire
yes
You mean, Wicked? Kinda been done; there's a musical, and everything.
Jillbles Yes but has it had a Thug Notes?
yes, Wicked! the book and the musical have very little in common.
+Tina Kills That, I can't argue; the musical is actually entertaining.
I recently tried to read Maguire's take on Alice in Wonderland, and was reminded that, despite reading 5 of his books, I don't actually LIKE his writing. he has fantastic ideas, but manages to write about them in ways I find monumentally dull.
We just finished reading this book for school. Hated it, confused me. I was listening to it on audio, then found this. I click it. OMG, now this makes sense!!!
PLEASSSEEEE!!!
Do The Little Mermaid by Hans Andersen!!!
This was one of my favorite books when I was little and I'm happy to see you guys went over it.
Pleeaaaaasseeee do The Book Thief. That's my favorite book of all time.
Who came after seeing the trailer for Disney's A Wrinkle in Time?
Nextgen Creator lmao me
This is the first of this guy's video that I've seen. I'm a little high right now but I want this guy to narrate my life. I need this.
Did anyone else come here after seeing the 2018 movie trailer?
This is one of the funniest and best summary ever of Wrinkle In Time!!!
So I'm guessing Disney is going to get rid of religious symbolism in the movie huh?
You best believe it.
Sadly. Even though the Movie was B grade, the effects were pretty great.
I love this ish. I barely remember that story, but it really hit home again after watching this.
The Trial by Kafka?
Oh that would be awesome. I've always heard that The Trial had some interesting concepts. Yo sparky, do this s*@# man!!
I wish they made more than just one Thug Notes video a month.
This is one of my favorite books
Loved your summary of this one!
You gotta do "Turn of the Screw" by Henry James.
do I Have No Mouth, and I must Scream :D
WOW. Thank you so much for the review of this book. I can't wait to read it. Keep up the amazing work!!!!!
You should do the other books in the series, I think they're much more interesting to analyze
You always nail it, but you nailed one of the greatest pieces of literature of all time in this one.
Do The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeesssssssss
the one with weird prime number only chapters?
I needed this, like 20 years ago. Fantastic.
WATERSHIP DOWN!!
This was one of the few books I read back in the 4th grade that really hit my desire for the strange. I was mostly into Goosebumps and other goofy - horror stories at the time and this was the first sci-fi novel that got me to try out the genre.
I like this. But too much bible para mi.
Nah, he just can't handle the BS.
+Chubby Pranks stfu
OH shit, we're getting a war on religion in the comments!
EVERYBODY STOP! No one's religion is right. Hell there's even religions based on movies. So stop fighting, because it's pointless.
I'm an atheist but I recognize that the Bible references were an intentional part of the original book. Leaving it out of an analysis is a kind of whitewashing.
Yeah, I mean, it's not like he could've done an accurate analysis of the book's intended message without talking about it. It's totally understandable that that message won't necessarily resonate with everyone (like what I think OP meant), but not mentioning it would be a disservice to the author's motivation and intent.
This is the first Thug Note I've ever watched. And I love it!
The message of this book is alright it's something about the execution is too cheesy and strange for me at least. The nerdy kids turning out to be on top and the old ladies turning out to be pretty it's too much of a force message of the oddballs and underdogs rising up. I appreciate those messages but again something about the execution of this book just seems cheesy to me specially when you kill the villain just by quote on quote sending love to it.
They didn't kill the villain, IIRC, but only escaped IT.
+Brian McGrath Thanks for clarifying. But either way like I said the message was good, however the execution feels cheesy and just mediocre me.
From what I heard the book ended up getting loads of sequels yet they never actually go back and resolve the whole IT and ultimate darkness plot line which I find really weird. Things were left very unfinished from what I can recall.
floooooooooooooooood That is strange.
yyyyyyyyyyyyyup
Im glad i found this channel, keep it up!
I remember writing an essay in middle school on why students should never have to read this garbage novel.
I remember enjoying it as an adventure story in grade 5, the sequels made no sense at the time though.
I remember reading it and I totally agree. It is actually atrocious and I do not wish it upon everyone. I don't mind reading for school but that book was so terrible.
***** I'd like to point out that there is a difference between banning a book and removing it from a list of books that all children must read.
***** This was many years ago, but if memory serves, it had something to do with the outlandish and downright confusing plot, which even simplified in the video still makes little to no sense; the unrealistic characters, especially the little boy being way too smart; and the anti-climactic ending in which the older sisters keeps stating "I love you" to free her brother from the giant brain. Look, I am all for crazy adventures, but if children have to read books about other dimensions, aliens/monsters and the power of will, give them Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, or Percy Jackson, or something that is far more entertaining in its esoteric or bizarre way. The book seemed like it was the fever dream of a Mary Sue type character who imagined a paradise where her distant/ estranged father came home, her little brother was respected for his smarts and her crush was actually into her.
Again, it's been years, but I didn't see any value in reading the book then other than boredom and confusion, and I certainly don't see any value in it now. There are far better means to convey morals like "don't judge a book by its cover" or "embrace individuality".
I think the overall theme of the book feels two-dimensional. I'm all for celebrating differences but I agree that the Mary Sue "I'll fix it with love" ending is unrealistic. Even as a kid who loved fantasy worlds, I thought this book was boring. The blatant christian influence was kinda weird, too.
I wish I read this one when I was a boy. I literally was scared of the cover and never got passed that. Now I truly understand the saying "Don't judge a book by it's cover". The sad thing is that I had the book just never took advantage of it.
I hated this book. I haven't even watched the video yet. I just wanted to say it. I seriously hated this book.
OK, watched it.
"He ain't got those red eyes cause he' blazin'!"
....I LOVE YOU GUYS.
Cheap-ass joke, but absolutely hilarious. Pure gold.
+verdatum lol so is it cheap-ass, or pure gold? XD
dude I feel you entirely. this book was more of a chore than an adventure when I read it. maybe I was too young to understand it at the time, but I read lord of the flies the same year and I loved that book.
I was bored out of my mind when I had to read it as a kid. I actually started to despise my teacher for making us read it and I'm not even sure she had a choice in the matter.
Same! I the book was so fucking tedious and inconsistent, with nothing really getting fully explained. Even though I was only twelve at the time and our teacher made us read it, this book still holds up today as terrible. I still can't see why it is such a "classic"
I loved watching this "movie" back in elementary school when they had it as slides in the library. Anyone else remember "movies" like that?
this book sucks as an adult sadly haha, loved it as a kid tho.
yeah its definitely for children
The only thing I remember about the book is that I really loved it as a kid. You say it's not worth rereading?
Andermom as an adult, its not worth reading. I had the same fond memories of it from childhood so I tried to read it again because I forgot a lot of it, but it was terrible as an adult haha. It is just very obviously written for kids, which is fine, I can't knock it for that. Don't read as adult though.
Rathernot Disclose Eh, to each their own, but the novel holds an underlying complex religious and sociopolitical commentary that very much applies to our society today.
This is one of my all time favourite books and this video made me so happy! Amazing job guys!
these comments are orwellian
I read this as a nerdy kid in 1960's Australia and loved it, it was the first book that really grabbed my imagination. It was a real "WTF?" moment when later in life that I learnt it was #37 in the top 100 censored books of all time!
the dialogue in this book is awful... it's uncomfortable and stilted. made me cringe the whole time. no one talks like that!!
J Girl hey dude in books and movies no one talks like that. Because real life talk is actually terrible full of slandlg and not gramaticly correct. So i think your comment should apply to almost every book and movie except fornthose few that try to use realistic dialogue. They are almost all bad by the way. Cant give any examples sadly.
Really, really good episode. Been forever since I've read this but I remember really enjoying it.
Great work! Really captured the themes
That story resonated with me on so many levels
captivated by the way you summarise these stories made me start reading again.
subscribed ;)
This was my favorite series of books as a kid
This has got to be my favourite one of these.
Hard Time by Charles Dickens, Everyman the play, Dead Man Walking by Tim Robbins, Tess of the d'Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy, Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis, I am the Messenger by Markus Zusak, Manhattan Transfer by John Dos Passos, Quicksand by Nella Larsen, Passing by Nella Larsen, Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil by John Berendt, Measure for Measure, Henry V, Henry IV Part 1 and Part 2, and Richard III by William Shakespeare, The Mill on the Floss by George Eliot, Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightening Thief
I don't know if it's his voice, or the inherent comedy of the juxtaposition but I love Thug Notes. I also think the analysis is quite inciteful.
I love this series! It's so good at deducing the books into important parts and analysis
glad this is back. Can you do a thug notes summary of The Wasp Factory?
