thank you man carrying thing. shoe
The defining writer of the Victorian Era was Jeremy Bingle. He is entirely forgotten and was sadly never published in his time, so nobody read any of his works, which are all lost, if indeed he ever wrote anything, which is unknown. But Bingle perfectly captured the zeitgeist of his age, possibly.
what a legend
Philomena Cunk should do a segment on this guy.
No ones really sure if he even existed, if he was even real, but if he was, he'd be a true legend of his time
@@_laryssa His legend will never die, if he has one.
holy fucking bingle
All I know about Colleen Hoover is that every book she’s wrote in the past ~3 years have always been displayed as a man sized pyramid of wasted paper in every book shop I’ve ever step foot in
Yeah there's always just a cube of stock in Chapters of Colleen Hoover books where I am
The fact that It Ends With Us is a bio of her mom's abuse and its sold under romance, ON PURPOSE. The fact she used to be (or still is?) a social worker and labels abuse as romance?? It tells you what you need to know about her. Those poor trees
And it's always a giant square or pyramid for some reason that is not touched. Whenever I walk in it's not touch, I've seen literally everything around it touched but that pyramid of Colleen Hoover books is an untouched pyramid perfectly made.
@@tajime8480 She's also a victim blamer apparently her son assaulted people and she told them to be silent.
@@subaru4920 youre right, but she considers it as romancs aswell. And so does her audience. Its misleading
lets hope the sequel "it continues with us" doesnt disappoint
😭😭😭😭😭😭gal
Man Carrying Thing is genuinely a good reviewer, I can count on him to be really fair with all of his opinions on what the best thing to carry is.
Agreed, even if I haven't read the book in question, I still highly concur with his points.
Oh yeah... Now you just have to read "It almost ends but not that much actually (the author has to eat) with us" and then you'll understand the powerful message
Haha, I certainly will be looking forward to picking up that book when it inevitably hits the shelves.
"It freezes on startup with us"
"It goes on with us"
@@goofsterngafster8411😭
As someone who's just here for the funni skits and doesn't read, everytime you upload a video like "why does the internet love this book" i'm like "ah yes i am the internets and i totally love this book"
"He's not super loveabale. He was homeless" - Man Carrying Thing
I work in a library and it can’t be understated how popular Hoover is. I don’t think any of her books have returned to the shelves in years because they are in constant circulation. The guy that is managing our e-collection jokes all he does is order Hoover book licenses all day. Even though she’s not my taste (and seems to romanticize abuse?) what you said at 7:23 is important: she’s getting people to read again
ive been wondering lately, genuinely and not trying to be cynical/snarky: is it truly good that more people are reading, completely independent of the content?
@@kukachoo42 No
I have a question, your post hints at it but how can a library ever have an e-book out of stock?
@@kukachoo42 Yes personally I think that bringing reading back is something positive and helps people fall in love with an amazing thing and amazing stories. Yes I don't really like the way it's shown in social media, because it's mostly shown as an aesthetic not as a hobby. And yes I personally don't like Collen Hoover books but I like to think of her book's relevance as was twilight 20 years ago.
(Sorry if there are any grammar, spelling mistakes. English is not my first language)
On the flip side her books (and those similar in style) were what made me stop reading until very recently...
I felt the exact same way with “Twilight” by Stephanie Meyer. It’s incredibly readable even if it’s contextually very very bad. Sooo many people started reading because of Twilight - like, A TON of people (mostly young women looking for escapism) I feel that Colleen Hoover somehow managed to break into that same well that Meyer did almost two decades ago.
Cohos books are way worse then twilight.
I know this type of content isn’t your most popular, but gosh I love your book content the most.
I really appreciate that you’re actually trying to define what is making her books the most popular in the world right now instead of just trashing not mainstream for the writing being so simple. I’ve only read Verity and I personally hated it but I like how you’re actually trying to define what it is that makes her so compelling to the masses.
José Rodrigues dos Santos is a famous Portuguese newscast, who made himself into a really popular book author under this same premisse. Paraphrasing him on interview, "People don't want to read your impressive use of obscure words, they want you to tell them a story that's interesting and easy to read."
Ele não anda a ser processado por plágio?
Não tem nada a ver, é só que eu não leio os livros dele, ouvi alguém dizer isto e queria perguntar a alguém que soubesse
@@grfgtbhh34 Eu também não leio, nem ouvi falar de plágio. Onde quer que haja sucesso ha processos, haja ou não ilegalidade...
That's called... commercial fiction. A great way to make money, not necessarily great novels.
sure, if your only goals are to make money and appeal to a mass audience. that's one reason to make art i guess
@@lucia-di-lammermoor Nah, a great novel is a novel which has a beautiful and fun story which achieves everything it sets out for. Thats the sole purpose novels are made anyways. Flexing your flowery writing should be left to the poets.
My only problem with her books is that they are FLOODING the libraries, and at least here, theyr are the only ones to go on sale
9 days till 1 year of commenting till the man reviews the Warbreaker
we are reaching a crisis point
Oh, maybe I should get back to telling him to read rage of dragons
I don't care about Coleen Hoover but I really appreciate you talking about her skill as a writer and skill as a romance writer. Like she's done so well, even if she is metagaming the publishing industry, she clearly has to have some skill for continually putting out books people enjoy
This video should have been like 10 minutes of Vessi ad and one minute of Colleen Hoover discussion.
Haven't read any Colleen Hoover, but I appreciate this more nuanced view on one of her books! I've only ever heard overwhelming praise or total condemnation of the book's themes, so it's nice to hear you elaborate on what you think she does and doesn't do well. It's easier to see why she's successful
As a book seller, one of the things I appreciate about Hoover and likewise authors is how they draw myriads of young readers into book stores who otherwise wouldn't come. Most of them probably stay with this kind of book, which is fine, really. I don't think that a transition to "more valuable" books is necessary. But these people read a lot and they get excited about books, they cherish the experience. They might keep this attitude for the rest of their lifes. In times tarnished by the fear that people stop caring about books it's a heartwarming, nice change of pace.
I haven’t read or heard of these books, but people seem to be divided so I will have a strong opinion, even though I haven’t read them (I hate this book)
Idk about her other books but Ugly love is genuinely the most awfull experince I've ever had with reading a book (at the time I had only read good and mid books).
More frustrating then reading a generic book to do a book report.
Dude I read Ugly Love and November 9 and no way Colleen Hoover is getting another chance from me. Sorry, but her writing is genuinely atrocious and her romanisation of abuse disgusts me.
@@Stella-iW123 i honestly hate 1st person / present tense writing so much. it reads awfully and it feels like i'm playing the lottery when i buy a book from a new author if it will be complete shit because they wanted to have a "quirky" writing style. i hope whoever started this trend falls down a deep pit
@@benman9242 I can see 1st person writting working so well if the author is trying to explore the main character psychologiclly. For example:- If a story is about a character suffering from psychosis episodes, and how the way the perceive reality changes drastically as the story progresses compared to the beginning of the story. (Goddamn I want someone out there to write a story about this lol)
@@benman9242 First person's good when it's like a character-focused book with not much plot. And when it's well written. Third can get away with more, I feel like.
As someone who subscribed for the tasty memes, and now recently works at a library, your channel is my god dang friggin niche. Awesome content on both channels. Keep it up!
See her books constantly going through circulation in our sorters, and have wondered why she is so popular. I don't read romance, but am always looking for stuff to be able to recommend to patrons, so channels like this are a god send. Perhaps I'll give one of her novels a go sometime.
7:37 i totally agree. i dislike colleen hoovers writing but having an easy-to-follow writing style and a cohesive plot takes so damn long to master as a writer. there’s a reason i have so many WIPs lol.
Can't wait for the sequel: The Man Carries the Thing With Us
The man among us
Your videos have always been great but they continue getting even funnier, more articulate, and better edited. Keep it up!
As an author who has published a few short stories, I'm planning on purposefully putting out "readable" books to encourage people to read and to read quickly. There is an artform in it, just as much as there's an artform in writing flowery, potent prose.
If your purpose is just to churn out books that are “easy to read”, it won’t be a very good book
Ok, so I’m not a Colleen Hoover fan girl…I’ve never read any of her books and plan to never read any, tbh…HOWEVER I am a HUGE romance reader…with that in mind, thank you for not shitting all over romance…this review was so thoughtful and empathetic ❤❤❤
Your short videos always have me on edge trying to watch your long videos
Your book content heals my soul. Thank you.
God, wait till you read November 9th. That book wanted me to tear my hair out. JUST ABUSE, UPON MORE ABUSE, UPON MORE ABUSE, YET PEOPLE SEE IT AS ROMANCE GOALS 😭
Good video! I heard about her book from multiple 12th graders' book projects last year! I kinda wanted to read them, but I felt like I wouldn't be my thing! I might check it out now! I would love to hear you rant about the abstract art thing!
It’s interesting to hear such a nuanced review. Not something I come across online much
Just finished the whole audiobook in a day lol, coming back to finish this video.
TOO MUCH POSITIVITY
great vid but it was kinda weird when you held nadia at gunpoint until she bought the vessi stormbursts, I hope she is ok 👍
Simple, easy-to-read writing takes time and effort. So yeah, kudos to the author for that.
The Circle is complete.
Please read the next Wheel of Time book! I want to hear your reaction as the series really starts to become amazing!
Love the book reviews
I've never been so tempted to read a book I have absolutely no interest in by such a 3 star review before... Well done! Good review!
I still like that jake still does these book videos like he did a long time ago.
My mom loves these books. I am trying to grt her to read the emperors soul, and she wants me to read a Colleen hoover book. I may do it.
Worth the sacrifice
Ever read/considered doing a video on John Updike? His prose is a brutally honest on American life. His short stories are where his strengths seem to shine, although the Rabbit novels are also worth the read. His short story collections The Olinger Stories and The Maples Stories are contain some of my favorite short stories of all time.
do your vessis help keep you comfortable while you carry things?
I have mixed feelings about this duology. While I appreciate the message, it feels like a PSA rather than a book. The characters are not really character but more so avenues to (for lack of a better word) beat you with the point. I feel like it was a money grab more than a book and that was even more confirmed with the fact that she wanted to make a coloring book for the series.
Congrats on Vessi sponsorship!!!
we are colleen hoover
It feels weird reading comments knowing Jake is also reading them we are man carrying thing 😎
I’m surprised you’ve never made sole video of R.L Stine😂
I hate everything about this channel and its sense of humor in everything.
AND I CANT GET ENOUGH
What's the name of that track you're using at the beginning
Colleen is a talented writer. I just wish she'd utilize this talent to write GOOD characters. Her characters make me cringe!
she doesnt know how
@@valenz1234 help! I remember when she made a NEUROSURGEON beg on his knees to be with Lil miss quirky name😭✋ As a med student that's been around neurosurgeons long enough to know how they actually act... That hurt my soul.
aw man, the way you describe Colleen Hoover's prose makes me want to read it. I know I'm not going to. lol... but I want to. The kind of prose that doesn't get in between the reader and the story is just the best.
I do not care about these books or really about any of the books on this channel but boy is Man Carrying Thing quickly becoming my favorite person on this website
Atlas Corrigan.
That name is not for us to decipher, it's for the scholars, one hundred years from now.
Good question
I don't know about books you're taking about but I want to ask you what I wanted to ask for a long time. What's the music you're using in your videos?
OMG I love these videos even though I'm never gonna read these books🤣🤣
You’re near Seattle?? You’re near me!!!
"If she would bring in more chaos" this is honestly why I like certain manga. A lot of mangaka just go, "...>.> fuck it, this is cool" and then you get planets blowing up when it's not even a sci-fi story, and you just accept it because you agree: fuck it, this is cool.
I think that it should apply to any genre, any topic. I get tired of plothole picking, instead of just sort of rolling with it and wishing for less caricature writing to make things neat and tidy. I've never read these specific books, but going based on what our man here has said.
SHOES! IWAS JUSTING THINKING I NEEDED A WAY TO KEEP MY FEET LESS WET AND YOU SAID SHOES AND I NEED THEM!
Not sure if you were already in Washington, but welcome to our weather

Weird, I came here for a book review, but now I really want Vessi sneakers that are great for everyday use AND sport. What a wonderful pair of kicks!
What was I doing again?
> look inside
> $180
> wtf
UGH. It's becoz you haven't read It Continues With Us, the conclusion to the trilogy. And if you think that Atlas is boring lemme tell you that Colleen has already anounced a prequel to It Starts With Us that will be about how he became literally my perfect husband. It's called It Will be Us and is set after It Ends With Us starts but before it ends. I can't BELIEVE you reviewed the books without having the whole story, you literal man... Carrying... THINGS.
what about the video game continuation, The Last Of Us?
Read slammed, ugly love or November 9 and see why people hate her books
Hello. All I will say is that I truly did enjoy "It Starts With Us," the sequel to Colleen Hoover's "It Ends With Us" .... because for me, it brings across the message of how difficult it is for women to leave abusive relationships.♥ I appreciate your critique, however, and I can accept that Hoover's writing style can be a little flat and one-dimensional. No author is perfect, but I ultimately and very deeply enjoyed these two books. "It Starts With Us" is a much easier and more joyful read, and I think it reinforces the message of the first book in an excellent way. Aside from the content of the books themselves, the lesson I have learned from all of this online discourse about Colleen Hoover is this: read what you like. No two people have the same tastes in literature-or even in general-and that is what makes life interesting. Keep this wonderful content coming; I love to think.✨💭
Great video very comprehensive, Also isn’t weird how British people call vacuums ‘hoovers’? Yet another example of the phenomenon of calling a thing just the name of the brand . In Germany they just call cream cheese ‘Philadelphia’ since that’s the leading brand.
You sound like an english professor lecturing a student who likes reading colleen hoover and decided to recommend her to you.
ayyy whats this man reading thing? i didn't serve in the war of 2025 to see this!
we do live in a hooverian society.
this is literally "ugly love"
Yay! My favourite Colleen Hoover fan and theory channel uploaded!
The defining era of my teen years was John Green of course
Did u read the sequel 'it extrapolates and is prolonged with us?'
more longer videos! jack to the moon
good stuff.
This will no doubt be drowned in a sea of comments but after seeing a good chunk of Man's videos I wonder if he'd be up to review a book I wrote a couple years ago. It's a little messy and nobody's read it but I got it published goddammit and I wanna know what people think
what is it about
What's it called?
It's called BrittleTooth. It's a story I started when I was 15, scrapped the entire book and started over, and finished when I was 20. It's the story of two treasure hunting pirates, Brittlebones and Spindletooth. Brittle is hellbent on finding his missing father, to the point he drags his captain through a variety of magic-related bullshit, to put it bluntly.

I got a vacuum ad under this video
Kind of you to review Justin roiland’s favorite series
Im sure she talked about the toxic gossip train a TON in this book
I like Colin Vacuum more
Seems like you've gotten better over time. Just know we will always support you no matter what.
Have you ever read Gene Wolfe? Anything by Gene Wolfe?
Oh, you’re using my first name in an angry tone again!
Man carrying thing, are you going to Review the New Cormac McCarthy books??
as soon as i read them!
@@ManCarryingThing I've only read "the passenger". It was incredible, in my opinion. I am now reading "all the pretty horses", Very good book.
Anybody wondering about those Vessi shoes I got a pair and can confirm they take no shit from water.
0:05 Stephen King looking sharp. probably still in his cocaine days.
I love your book content. Please go back to WoT I miss them.
Every word deserves its own cut!!
I've never read Coleen Hoover but here I am....
1st person present tense did you say? I already hate it.
The masses have bad taste. That's why her books sell
Some people read whatever they can get their hands on.📕
Actually it's the opposite. Fans begged for this, it was the author who wasn't originally going to write, but they talked her into it. Colleen Hoover, give her this, knows how to make a splash
Have you heard about her covering up her son's own abuse with his then s/o?
It's so funny my friend and i are both going to read this and its sequel together..we will have fun mocking it..we know it's gonna suck lol..we have heard alot about this author but have never read her
If you go in expecting it to suck you'll miss ay
ny parts of it that might actually be valuable
Sick money 76
You must read Verity!!!
The. Worst. Book. Ever.
I feel like it's ending was good but the mid-section was actually hellish to get through and some of it's dialogue was also pretty bad.
why does it start with us and not with one thing, i dont know why, it doesnt even matter how hard you try. keep that in min-
I wish I knew why. They could be reading 1984 instead. George Orwell gang #epic
I will second lord of the flies, 1984 rules
Real. There are so many classics they could be reading. Dystopian novels are my favourite though.(I am miserable)
