    „I hated this book. The characters. The world. The Magic system. The writing. I won't touch it ever again." 4/5 Stars

    • @MagusMarquillin
      @MagusMarquillin 3 роки тому +30

      OH, so you're _not_ a fan of hard magic, complex character progression, or genius that transcends the genre I see? I'll give you a hint: real people don't always make the same choices if they're pushed hard enough. Now touch it again and give it 5 Stars or the Suess Loyalists will fix you!

    Sam's dogged insistence to force the experience of the green eggs and the ham upon his unwilling victim was a harsh lesson on consent and what it means to say "no" in today's society. Sam I Am's toxic behavior is inexcusable, and the fact that Guy Am I ended up enjoying the green eggs and the ham was a horrifying look at the way breaches of consent can be justified by some victims whose experiences are then used to perpetuate the cycle. Truly a work of modern art, 3/5 stars.

Then halfway through their review, they finally start telling me what I want to know about the book.

    Ha, ha! This is why I never got into Goodreads.
    Some rarer specimen that could take a meme:
    - Reviews with a link to a blog no one cares about (especially the "Read the full review here"-variety)
    - "Reviews" that mainly consist of longwinded ranting about the reviewer's life experiences or opinions on some, at best, barely related issue or incident
    - Reviews that make some comparison or analogy that is probably supposed to be edgy or witty, but is really just forced and inaccurate
    - Reviews that apply some cranky literary theory the reviewer came up with to the work in question
    Not that any of these are mutually exclusive.
