My worst book of 2020: The Cursed Child. I reread it thinking it couldn’t be as bad as I remembered. I was right. It was SO much worse. Why does that book exist? 😭😭😭
If your fave is on this list then please don‘t hate 👏🏻👏🏻 If your fave is on this list then please don‘t hate 👏🏻👏🏻 Please don‘t send death threads to me, that‘s nothing I want to see If your fave is on this list then please don‘t hate 👏🏻👏🏻
@@jessethereader My absolute favourite was The Madness of Crowds by Douglas Murray, because it was eery how the whole BLM thing happened EXACTLY at the same time as I was reading the chapter on race and how Murray had warned us about such an eruption happening.
That disclaimer song? Best thing I never thought I needed in life 🙏🏼 However; death threats for having an opinion about a book?? Gosh, the world we live in smh...
I completely understand where you’re coming from with Bridge of Clay. It was a very confusing read, but I found myself intrigued by the characters so I think that’s what kept me going through slow points in the plot. Luckily, near the end I had an epiphany about the story and it suddenly just clicked with me. I totally understand how it’s confusing though because I was confused for a good half of it 😂😂
I've wanted to read Everything, everything for so long but keep procrastinate to actually pick it up. Why u didn't like it? Maybe I could (finally) decide to read it or not
2020 was a horrible reading year for me, I only read like 5 books I think, because I read hunger games and blood of Olympus in a day ( different days ) and was in a reading slump the rest of the year
Every time this year that you’ve talked about not liking Sisters Grimm I’ve freaked out for a second because that was the name of a series I was obsessed with in middle school- and then I realize it’s a totally different book lol. Also I felt the exact same way as Bridge of Clay! I was so excited for it 😩
I am the Messenger is my favorite book by him (and of all time)! It's about a cab driver who accidentally stops a bank robbery and then starts getting playing cards in the mail with addresses on them. He has to figure out 1. what to do with the addresses 2. who is sending them and 3. why are they being sent to him. The narrator is a really funny character and his best friend is a big stinky dog named The Doorman who only drinks coffee. I highly recommend it!
Well, I’m shocked about Zusak’s book. I liked his last books but I don’t wanna be disappointed by bridge of clay :( I had like 4/5 bad books but I don’t think you’re gonna read them lol
I can't believe I'm this early for a Jesse video!!!! So excited! Hit it Jesse!😁😁😁 Edit: This boutta start some fights I think buuuuuut my worst 2020 book/series was TOG and Crescent City by SJM.
I loved Bridge of Clay honestly but I 100% understand all your points and agree with a lot actually lol. I also sobbed, but for me I loved the strangeness of it all and the character exploration, I think it was beautiful but definitely a challenge to understand. Loved the video 💕
“If your favorites on this list it’s not an attack. If your favorites on this list it’s not an attack.” - Jesse 2021. Jesse should get a record deal signed. Every little song that he sings is engraved in my mind. Keep doing what your doing, and you’ll be the next Billie Eilish. LOL
I liked this video a lot! Simple, but entertaining! Btw, I'm rereading Throne of Glass series and I hope that you'll do Kingdom of Ash review once you read it, it would be amazing to hear your thoughts on it:)
bruh its a Markus Zusak's BOOK!! its ofc gonna be hella hard to grab xD, it was same for me for the book thief i had to read it like 2 times to grab onto the plot mostly BUTT the emotions were right in the FEELS~! and yeah his plots are soo hard to explain~!!
I agree with Bridge of Clay! I read it a while ago but I was so confused the entire time. It felt really vague without a driving force, but the language was really pretty.
Bridge of Clay is in my top 5 favorite books of all time, but I respect that you didn't enjoy it. I recommend I Am the Messenger by Zusak if you like his writing. It's my favorite from him, and it's something that stuck with me. It's short, too!
Hey Jesse! Big fan! So I was rewatching your “Genre Book Swap” video and it gave me a video idea. What if you took a book with a fantasy genre and using the story and characters flipped it into a contemporary! I think that would be so funny and you would do it well. You could swap horror with love story, fairytale retelling with mystery, or even adult book with children’s book!
Hey! I'm actually early for once! Loving the video so far! But my worst book of 2020 was A Wrinkle in Time. I was super excited about it but I didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would.
Anyone else admires how respectful jesse talks about the WORST Books he read in the year? Like if I start talking about a book I dislike, there's no stopping me but he is so nice and wellspoken and I kinda love it
bridge of clay was my first markus zusak book and while the plot also did not work for me, i immediately fell in love with his writing style. even though i didn’t really care about what was happening, his writing style somehow still managed to keep me invested and on the edge of me seat. it was a very weird experience lol. but, because i really vibed with his writing, i tried the book thief and ended up LOVING it. so i guess the issue with it for me was the plot as well, and i’m definitely going to try some of his other books!
I watched this soon after discovering all of the How To Train Your Gavin drama concerning a video of the same title. Love you and your channel! Hope you have a better year! 😂💛🍀
Great vid as always. I had almost read a bridge of clay years ago because I loved the Book Thief so much. I had it on my hands for a month or so from the library but ended up taking it back because I didn't know when I would actually read it. Never saw it again. Haha. I have a few books I was disappointed by. 'Girl, Srpect and Thorn,' 'a curse so dark and lonely,' and "shadown and Bone." yes, I know... all popular or decently books. popular books. There could be another but I can't recall anything else I nthe top of my head. oh! I tried Red Queen and ended up DNF'ing it. sorry to fans of these popular books... I tried. They were not bad, just not for me.
hello Jesse the live stream was super awesome love your editing ps you probably get this a lot but every time i watch one of your videos i always seem to laugh and smile even when i don’t want ANYWAY that was a down all this to say your my fav you-tuber
I REALLY wanted to love Bridge of Clay as much as I loved The Book Thief, but I need to reread Bridge of Clay because I barely remember anything from it! I guess the themes didn’t land perfectly for me. I do remember liking the parents’ backstory the most though.
i've never been this early omg... jesse i love your channel!! also please please please read skulduggery pleasant it feels like a book you'd really love and it's really not popular in the us it's really sad
I still look forward reading Every You, Every Me. I have been wanting to read it since I was in college. If you read Will Grayson, Will Grayson the chapters that he wrote were in small letters (as in all are in small letters). If the narrative doesn't resonate a reader (example: feels lost), then it can contribute to a painful reading experience.
Worst book: Wonder Woman war bringer... does anyone else agree? I feel like everyone loved it but all the characters were the same and there was very little action and a ton of fluff
My sister read that. I was reading Six of Crows at the same time and I was so excited to see that we were reading the same author. I really liked SOC but I'm probs gonna give Warbringer a pass
@@luthientinuviel3883 yeah I just finished Six of Crows and loved it- honestly I think Leigh Bardugo just wasn’t as passionate about Wonder Woman because she was probably asked to write it by DC and it wasn’t her own idea
okay but his livestream last night was AMAZING, OUTSTANDING, when he forgot what the sequel for the slivered serpents was called LOLL, also can we talk about how the video time is “11:11” wow!
Worst book I read this year: A Darkling Plain by Philip Reeve. That's all I'm gonna say, because if I say anymore, my rant will be longer than that Markus Zusak book Jesse didn't like.
I understand and completely agree with all your thoughts on Bridge of Clay. I almost dnfed it because 100 pages in I was telling myself and everyone around me about how it made no sense. I kept going though, and while I didn't love his writing in it, I ended up liking the book for the most part. It's downsides are certainly the things you mentioned but in the end, the weirdness and the characters backstories made it an enjoyable read for me. Definitely could have been shorter though!
How Jesse felt about "Every you, every me" was excactly how I felt about this book "Varjonyrkkeilijä" (Shadowboxer). The only charecter trate the main charecter had was "victim" (The only charecter given any personality was a boxing coach, who on their freetime sexually assaulted girls he was paid to train. So that should out some things into a perspective). I also could not put the friken book down, despite is being the worst book I've read last year, but that was because The writing style of the author Inga Magga, was SO beautiful. Everyone Ive talked to about this book, has loved it, and I have no-idea why.
I had a lot of books I rated 3 stara last year but the one that dissapointed me the most was Blood Promise by Richelle Mead, the 4th book in the Vampire Academy series. The 3rd book ended on a cliffhanger and I was expecting the next book to pick up with action but it didn't and all the events were too drawn out. However, the 5th book redeemed itself and I still need to read the last book.
I wish I could read books fast. I've been reading percy jackson and the lightning thief for a few months by now every now and then and I'm on page 58😂 I'm hopeless
I actually know my reading taste really well so I hardly ever read a book that I don't enjoy. But I read "This shattered world" and I didn't really like that one...
Don't worry about the timing, I'm trying to finish/upload a journal about late 2020 currently. Just found this channel and subscribing, but I like your mentality, having books you didn't like but was invested enough to finish and notice what they do right and wrong. Mad respect. What were your thoughts on A Deadly Education?
I only ended up DNFing one book in 2020, which I'm happy about, but honestly, my reading year wasn't as good as past years. While I didn't HATE this book overall, one of my disappointing books was 'A Cuban Girl's Guide to Tea and Tomorrow'. The main character did something that honestly infuriated me, and while I'm glad I kept reading and finished it, that ruined the book for me.
