you're just sorry you got called out it seems, since you keep deleting every comment that is critical of you... people deserve refunds, "i'm sorry" does not cut it.
@@GalletaGirl I just finished reading that book and tbh I don’t think I liked any characters except santiago and zoe but Cleo was annoying, Frank not much better as well
I love the fact that you review books whilst having a different concept of video each time. It’s so much more engaging than just sitting down and reviewing them!
@@Iamjames1985 You would be shocked at how much a person can read when they don’t spend their time hate watching UA-cam videos and combing through comments like seriously what are you even doing with your life?
next time you do this to get rid of confirmation bias you should have a friend find what the ranks are and then after reading the books you have to guess which one is higher or lower rated
“normalize being morally reprehensible” thanks for the validation bestie 😂 this is the most thorough and well-articulated roast of a book i’ve ever seen in my life holy hell, i’m crying 😂😂
also i had to do some digging because GoodReads’ user interface is a steaming pile of hot garbage, but the lowest rated book on my physical TBR is Treacle Walker by Alan Garner (3.19⭐️) and the highest rated book is Know My Name by Chanel Miller (4.72⭐️). Interesting that both of our top spots were taken by memoirs.
Carmen Maria Machado graduated from the Iowa Writer’s Workshop at University of Iowa in Iowa City. I currently live and study English & Creative Writing here! I had the pleasure of meeting Carmen on campus and she is brilliant. In The Dream House is spectacular. So glad it’s the highest rated.
I wonder what the result would be if you did the same challenge, but you didn't know which book was which. It could be interesting to see how much knowing the review score could influence your reading experience
i'm so glad i've found your channel! english is my second language, and thought i know it quite well, i can't put my mind to using advanced vocabulary, even though i know it, and just listening to you describing books blows my mind with your choice of words. I've recently really got into reading again, and i feel like watching you in addition to that will do me good
not that i think you need anymore books but i just read “The Five Wounds” and “As Long As the Lemon Trees Grow” and had to recommend them to you in the hopes of completing your library! the first is an incredible character study, since you have an affinity for character-driven books. and the second is a digestible young adult novel that handles very important and persistent issues in the world (despite being historical) in a very accessible way.
Very much think that In The Dream House deserves such a high rating - absolutely devastating writing. It hit me like a ten-ton truck. Everyone should read it.
OMG When Carmen Maria Machado was the highest rated, I knew you would recover from your previous reading trauma, because Her Body and Other Parties lives rent free in my head for not only its amazing ideas and storylines, but Machado is like the Bob Ross of word painting.
VIDEO IDEA: read one book rated 3 stars, one rated 4 stars and one rated 5 stars. But you don't know which book has which rating. And at the end, you must guess which book was rated what ❤
Lapvona has very mixed reviews but I personally really liked it. The book really depends on if you enjoy that type of writing/story. I recommend giving it a try!
In The Dream House really is beautifully written. I listened to the audio book and Carmen's voice makes it even more wow. Definitely gonna listen to more of her work
I recommend In the Dream house to anyone going through a break up (I read it while going through a breakup!)- despite the heavy topic of abuse/DV i think theres a lot for anyone trying to separate themselves from a relationship.
I really love your channel because you are open to reading such a different array of books. This reason is also why you stand out a lot from other book influencers. I’ve gotten back into reading and have added so many of the books you review to my Want to Read list on GoodReads. Thanks for that! 😅
I don't know what people say but jack has the best relatable quotes Dude how are you reading so many books here I am trying to get through the same book for the past 2 weeks
'Insatiable' in the corner with gratuitous debauchery Jack: *_The Buffet_* 'In the Dream House' in the corner with heartbreak and beauty Jack: ✨a little car!✨
Ahhh I see The Discomfort of Evening on your TBR list! Can’t wait to hear your thoughts 😁 I’d never heard of it but found a copy in a charity shop one day and I was super intrigued.
i enjoyed very small elements of insatiable-- like the depiction of BED/self hatred felt very real, like the interiority of it, the way insecurity can veer into self-absorption. the like sheer hatred of everything/bitterness that comes with things like that... but that's a generous reading. but the sex was abysmal fr!! [also i did the google thing too. very disappointed she's using a penname & doesn't just have the most iconic name ever]
Excluding some not yet published books with only a handful of reviews, which tends to skew the ratings, the lowest rated book on my TBR is All This Has Nothing to Do With Me by Monica Sabolo with 2.92, and the highest rated is Strong Female Character by Fern Brady with a whopping 4.81 (closely followed by How the Word is Passed by Clint Smith and Invisible Child by Andrea Elliot which is very impressive because they both have an average rating of 4.71 on over 25,000 and over 10,000 ratings, respectively! It's rare for a book with lots of readers to have such a good rating! And nonfiction about racial relations in the US, at that)
omg thank you so much for reading and reviewing insatiable. i really needed someone to confirm that i wasn't insane and this book actually is just as horrible as i think it is. i read it last year, and in my life i haven't regretted anything, BUT this book is the ONLY thing i regret spending my money on. a love story for greedy girls? GIRL WHERE? I've never hated anything as much as i hate this book and I'm not afraid of saying it
I like the feeling of used books. It’s beautiful to see that somebody enjoyed it so much and somehow freeing too to not be so uptight about the book staying as it was,new.
insatiable has been on my tbr for yearssss simply because i love the cover. this is my sign to stop buying books based of their looks 😭 i’m taking it off my tbr as we speak
I got 'Lessons in chemistry' as a present and I was soo excited because I'm a chemist as well and I had only heard amazing things about the book. I was soo disappointed that I stopped after 50 pages. It just didn't 'do it' for me. Maybe I'll give it another shot, but who knows. My TBR itself could fill books 😅
rewatching this after the wattpad video. the way i snorted so hard when you mentioned "periodic table"... never thought it would affect me so deeply :')
denial is a river in egypt with that thumbnail & i love it edit: i laugh, but i was just the same with colleen hoover books i read verity in one day, liked it then i read it ends with us and I wanted to forget every word ... then I read the extra chapter of verity bc i didn't learn ... and it ruined whatever i first liked about it
The highest rated book in my tbr is Heaven's Official Blessing by Mo Xiang Xiu lol. Lowest rated is Exciting Times by Noise Dolan! I feel like I should do a reading of these two and make a super weird comparison!
This video was great! Oh and Jack, I just firmed Durham for this year to study History (with possibly english lit) with a foundation year. Thanks for the inspiration! I can't wait!
The highest rated book on my TBR is Know My Name by Chanel Miller with 4.72 and the lowest rated is tied between Catherine House by Elizabeth Thomas and Lizzie by Dawn Ius with 3.11, but I do not think I am in the headspace to attempt any of these right now 🤣
Invisible Life of Addie LaRue made me feel cheated of the time it took to read that book because I'd heard that it was so good and that there was a completely unexpected twist ending but it delivered on neither, very YA in its lack of/claim to depth, idk maybe I would have liked it when I was 13 (and reading Twilight)
justice for lapvona. read it in two sittings and loved it sm. it's definitely very different from my yr of r&r but maintain's moshfegh's satirical, dry humor
I remember reading Insatiable last summer in Sweden, because I thought it is another book that actually was on my TBR and being so confused why I put such a book on my TBR. Only after I finished and I realised my mistake. Still angry on myself for loosing precious time. That book was so poorly written and the plot and action were bellow zero.
i bought insatiable because I think I saw it as some kind of a woman vs the void trope; i started it and pretty quickly was like "meh.." and put it down. your review only reinforces my decision to give it to a thrift shop lol.
I think an interesting idea for a video would be reading multiple books without looking them up on goodreads first and then putting them in the order you think they are rated and seeing how you did.
We need a part two!! where you read more than one book of each category maybe?? and as the comments suggest to go into them blindly... and you playing with that remote control car was so random and funny🤣
You should read some brazilian books, specifically Machado de Assis’ The Posthumous Memoirs of Bras Cubas”, Clarice Lispector’s “The Hour of the Star” or Graciliano Ramos’ “Barren Lives”. It’s very good and refreshing
Hi Jack, You’ve honestly inspired me so much to start reading books and I really enjoy your videos! You seem like such a humble guy. Just wanted to ask, could you possibly do a video on ranking Michael Morpurgo’s books and what your thoughts on them are? Because I’ve read over some of them and thought they’d be really good to study for my A-Level English Literature Coursework.
okay sorry for the triple comment but 100% you need to read machado's short story collection her Body and Other Parties!! she also did some writing for phoebe bridgers' punisher LP & inspired florence & the machine's newest album :^)
Now I know Lessons In Chemistry has that as the cover inside the hardback I might buy it, as I really want to read it but I hate the cover and hate that the author hates the cover - but I LOVE the periodic table one 😅
hello im a 3red year in an irish secondary school and i finished my mocks recently. Guess what in my English paper it had your face and a quote from you!
I love that a big difference between the two is that one book he couldn't put down because he loved it so much and the other he couldn't put down because he was making a UA-cam video about and had no choice but to continue reading it.
I actually feel kinda bad for him that he had to power through that thing. Giving me war flashbacks to my schooldays where I had to read things I didn’t want to or wasn’t ready for lol
@@MeryKeit Yeah me too. The whole time I was just thinking "Just put it down! The fact that you don't want to continue reading is proof of how bad it is." I just know if he was reading it in his own time he would of DNF'd that book within the first 100 pages.
I got a little nervous when you mentioned Young Mungo. Mainly because I haven't finished it yet, I've been reading other books and going back to it every so often. Hopefully I can finish it before you make a full review of the book. 😊
I read Lapvona in February because of you putting it in your TBR, and I thought it was super interesting! Definitely different from my normal reads, but it was really thought provoking!
the whole section of you being horrified and in owe of her body habilities in the sex scenes is the funniest shit i've listened in a while like... hahah the yogurt i was eating ended up on my laptop you are so funny
The highest rated book on my TBR is “Replay” by Ken Grimwood. Lowest is “The Cookbook Collector” by Allegra Goodman. Which to be completely honest I feel like 3.3 starts is not doing that book justice because I started reading it a while ago but then hit a reading block halfway through, not to the books fault just ran out of time. I remember it being pretty good.

You should do this challenge again, but without knowing which book is which.
Yesss
Haha that's genius
Oh yes!
Absolutely!!
Or even one of each ranking (1 star, 2 star, etc) and then he has to try to guess after reading them the correct order

I was typing the same comment! 😃
i would love to see this!
yes! maybe he can do it with three books (adding one with a mid rating) so it's harder for him to guess
the hello kitty part of the video was so random and unhinged but most definitely hilarious😭
I laughed out loud when it came onscreen and scared my cat off my lap🤣🙀
I want the Hello Kitty Car now myself lol

* sees that Jack has posted a new video and starts watching it *
Snap 😂
The poem by Sappho that starts off In the Dream House is the same poem that also starts off Cassandra by Christa Wolf which I thought was interesting
That hello kitty car was the highlight of my week. Thank you for sharing, Jack
I'm glad they had similar covers just to really define the disparity
Very much think that In The Dream House deserves such a high rating - absolutely devastating writing. It hit me like a ten-ton truck. Everyone should read it.
I love Jack commenting how bad the book is, like "even drying paint would get bored"
Also "buffet tragedy" got me 😆
Do this challenge again. I enjoyed this video so much :)

You should read some brazilian books, specifically Machado de Assis’ The Posthumous Memoirs of Bras Cubas”, Clarice Lispector’s “The Hour of the Star” or Graciliano Ramos’ “Barren Lives”. It’s very good and refreshing

Hi Jack,
You’ve honestly inspired me so much to start reading books and I really enjoy your videos! You seem like such a humble guy.
Just wanted to ask, could you possibly do a video on ranking Michael Morpurgo’s books and what your thoughts on them are?
Because I’ve read over some of them and thought they’d be really good to study for my A-Level English Literature Coursework.
8:21 I love how he needs to put the book down to emphasize with his hand so he just decides to put it on his head 😂
okay sorry for the triple comment but 100% you need to read machado's short story collection her Body and Other Parties!! she also did some writing for phoebe bridgers' punisher LP & inspired florence & the machine's newest album :^)
ive missed your book review vids Jack!! you roasting books is just the best
Young mungo was a fantastic read.
love your videos, you have such great ideas about the books you read.
Now I know Lessons In Chemistry has that as the cover inside the hardback I might buy it, as I really want to read it but I hate the cover and hate that the author hates the cover - but I LOVE the periodic table one 😅
I’m so confused bc the premise of the Netflix show Insatiable is so different…but just as bad.
