Wow I can only imagine how bad you felt! I wonder if an explanation to people disliking such a protagonist is that he/she reminded them of their fear to be desperate and sad?

@jil8091 28 дней назад

I would start another world war with people who write negative reviews of my fav books, you are stronger than me

The Normal People sequel they're probably talking about is "At the Clinic"! It was Sally Rooney's short story that was published in the White Review in 2016 and then she wrote Normal People after!

The way that i review books is: 1* = DNF but interested me enough to actually pick it up and try it 2* = I finished it, but I hated it 3* = Things I liked, things I didn't like 4* = Few changes but on the whole, I really enjoyed this 5* = Holy grail and hardly any ever get this Interested to know if anyone else is like this 😅xx

I understand the reviews of Emma. I read it as a 15-year old and didn't like it at all. Didn't like Emma at all. Then I reread it in my early 20s and it's so incredible. It's one of my favourite books ever!

What did I learn watching this video? That me and Jack have opposite taste in books. Anyway, in defense of my 1 star reviews: • Piranesi: it gave me anxiety, which I do NOT need right now in my life :') • no matter what I do, but I physically cannot read The Picture of Dorian Grey. I tried 100 times, I cannot. Probably dye to the fact that teachers in middle school forced it to me for YEARS, when I only wanted to read silly preteen books. Now I'm a huge classic book nerd, but The Pucture Of Dorian Grey is just: no. • I have a problem with Jane Austen books in general, I simply don't like her writing, but I love her stories (P&P is one of my fav movies) • I didn't read 1989 yet but I'm sincerely afraid now. Despite this, I will continue to binge Jack's videos anyway :')
