I forgot to credit Mad Buns for the CCC icon used in the interview segments. Please check them out on twitter: twitter.com/mad_buns One more video out before 2019. We did it, mates.

Insert all the "fire, flames, passion" quotes from the Vivaldi review.

I think you meant "'Passion' by Robbie Arnott

I finally got around to reading this and I loved it. Ive fallen in love with every one of your recommendations

Tasmania being talked about by a RU-vidr? Never thought I'd see the day.

Super glad to have over half of an hour of your voice to listen to!

I found you through shammys old recommendation videos after just having a full week of creative writing in school and finding my way into writing and reading I am 15 now and started writing my own stories and re reading all the books I've read before but in a different manner. I absolutely love your videos and they are verry inspirational and entertaining and helpful. keep up the great work. I think your videos should get more attention

The way you described the structure of the book in the beginning reminded me of “A Visit from the Goon Squad”

i didn't know where those first 50 seconds where going but i was prepared to fallow them to the heat death of the universe.

This reminds me of a book titled "4321" by Paul Auster, although I do not know if I would consider Paul's work "polyphonic" since the narrators are just different versions of the main character in alternate timelines. Anyway, this got me interested in reading Robbie's story. Keep doing what you're doing!

Just finished a book by Claire North titled "The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August" and while it does like to wax philosophical about responsibility as a discount immortal, it made me think of your "Life After Life" review and how the former does reliving the protagonists lives sooooo much better. Maybe consider checking it out?

I'm in college for English with a minor in creative writing and I find that self expression is key to having your work stand out whilst using the tools of your medium (aka writing in this case). I'll defiantly check this book out when I can have the money to do so. I absolutely love this stuff and the bits of the interview were wonderful additions! Is the full thing available?

I thought the sky was always yellow, rain or shine. I am somewhat disappointed.

U r a university grade professor of literature u dissect and explain the medium masterfully

I just need to say this... I almost never read. As in the classic "pick up a book, and go through it". Despite many attempts, the medium has largely lost much of its spark for me. I'm far more of a visual thinker, and my tastes seem to follow that trend. And despite all that, its through folks like you, and your channel, that I can feel a deep sense of appreciation for the medium anyway. Even if its a 2nd hand window I end up looking through. So if you read this, thank you. For the laughs as well as the genuine educating in literary story telling. Its genuinely enriching. I mean hey, its drops that end up forming an ocean regardless right?

Amazing video as always dude. I must say I've always been a fan of your work ever since the first book burning video you did. As a person that's struggling to rediscover his drive to create stories ever since my early teenage years, I find looking at book critiques such as yours to be good tutors on strategies to employ in the future. And I must say, seeing a GOOD piece of literature being shown through your critique is a pleasant change of pace. That being said, I do have a question for you, and well, I really hate to be "that guy." The one who brings up a topic not really related to the video in question, but being someone who enjoys your content and critique, I recently noticed that the streams you did with friends, looking over book samples and having a fun time picking apart the silly writing styles of some of them.....all of them are gone. Is their disappearance intentional on your part? Do you not plan to reupload them or do more streams like them in the future?

He returns

I have been waiting for this video and it did not disappoint, definitely putting this on my to read list. Also, Arnott has good taste in authors and it was cool of you to interview him (side not somebody leaking fire seems alright to me, but then again I like fantastical fiction in general so I might just be use to it). BTW do you have the right editor link because the link goes to napsy, but it says it was editing by dalero?

The only book I have experience with that swaps narrator is "Witch and Wizard." Yup. Forgotten YA fiction. Two main characters and every chapter swaps between them as the narrator. As far as I remember. I never finished it. All I really remember is it was weird and the girl was much quippier than her brother. It was too slow to get to the magic for me. Maybe now that I'm not in middle school anymore I can give grown-up novels like this a try.

Ah sweet! Book review time~

Have people asked you to critique their writing? I’m working on something right now and I wanted some pointers

Hello!

here's my comment so I can get it out of my system... WHy!!!!

We going to get the full interview with robbie arnott?

😁💜👌🏼

Hi
