I swear you and I are on the same page with some of these over hyped books…I didn’t even finish this one

your rants are my comfort content, Meg🥰 i can't stop cracking up at this, and in a way, you ranting about this is making me wanna read it even more???😭

I had not seen this until right now....AMAZING and HILARIOUS.

Millions of people reading it is one thing. The thousands of people calling it the voice of a generation is what grates me. Another youtuber said that the reader has to have met people like the ones in the novel in order to "get it" and that otherwise it's not for you and that just makes me livid. And the prose gets so many accolades for how "much" it can express in so little and I just don't have any words. I read Winter in Sokcho by Elisa Shua Dusapin and the prose was so bare that initially it almost turned me off. It was also a book seemingly about nothing. But I have never met a young woman from Sokcho, yet the bare prose was so jarring and evocative, that I *felt* the book and was so curious about the writing that I ended up picking the book up in its original French to see how she does it there. There was something strange and jarring that made me connect with the book in a way. I am sure I didn't get all of it because the character herself didn't fully get everything in life but somehow that felt ok. In Rooney's prose, there is something jarring that made me groan, nothing more. It read like a self-insert YA novel where every little eye movement is made to feel so significant and grand, yet in the end amounts to very little.

You're so brave. I could not do it.

Imma go ahead and be the one to say it. You asked “how do so many people like this book?” And the answer is because a lot of people are freaking DUMB. They’re the same people who voted for the orange moron. They have no taste and very little education. Sorry not sorry! 😊

I'm new to your channel but this combined with your video about overhyped books you hate makes me trust you completely!

You look so different from how I expected you were as a person! You're really pretty, and yet you seem to like extreme horror. Go you!

When the kid and the hagbeast started eating literal shit, and fucking DESCRIBING it, I had to stop.

I just adore your reviews. I actually liked this one but I also see your points. All valid. For some reason I still enjoyed it. I usually am pretty turned off by hyped books. Some of my favorite reviews are people slamming books I found entertaining. Love your channel!

I had all the same issues with the book. I ended up DNFing after the long diatribe that is about halfway through the book. That entire chapter felt like I was reading about the author’s personal opinion rather than from the character. At that point I just couldn’t do it anymore lol it felt too preachy; like yes I agree about some points she was making but it felt forced and it could’ve been executed better. And yes, I’d knock George out too 😂 at the end of the day I was just sooooooo bored

When you laughed about the bacon and macaroni part lmao 🤣 😂 😆

Do you deliver your product to Australia please 🙏 my friend ❤❤❤

Meg all I can say is that it’s only a two 2️⃣ star 🌟 book 📕 and that is all I am giving it prayers and blessings to you and your family my friend I hope you are doing well and taking care of yourself love your Aussie family friend John ❤❤❤I am trying to get some money 💰 together for your T-shirt 👕 soon as possible ❤❤❤

The dream sequences were so monotonous!!! I am glad to hear someone else point that out.

OMG, yes yes yes! Everything! Especially the YA-ness.

I think the book community is becoming like the beauty community...getting paid for positive reviews....But Not our MEG...You are the real deal. Thank You.

Here for a good rant and I wasn't disappointed.

Although I myself have not yet have had the chance to read Eyes are the Best Part I too have heard the buzz about it. I have however added it to my tbr which too often is too short on quick reads. When I was travelling more I liked to finish a novel on the plane but today most are far more serious and time consuming. I'm sorry you had a bad time with it. You will like The Echoes by Evie Wylde, which features much more down to Earth characters, even though one is a ghost.

hahaha!...when you said (in the previous vid) that you weren't feeling this book, but hadn't finished iit yet, I held back a comment about how I thought you'd react to the ending, which was "NOT great"...hahaha!...yep

This book was being talked about everywhere for a while, but to me it just sounded like one of those books that was written to be really weird. Weird is fine, but when it’s just written to be over the top weird, and that’s it’s only real point of interest, I have no interest in it.

OMG I thought I was weird for not liking this bc EVERYONE loved it 😂 glad I’m not alone in thinking WTF 😂

And that ending??? It's the most unrealistic thing I've ever read in my life...

I liked this book and also, I don’t think you’re wrong about some of your criticisms, so you don’t have to be sorry about it! My takeaways were different, so I don’t agree the shitty man her mother was dating was the only source for her feminine rage, and I believe that the type of white man depicted in the book is exactly like some white men Asian women have probably dealt with. Cartoon character villain men exist and I think they’re more comfortable showing that about themselves nowadays, especially on social media, to our collective annoyance 😂. The ending is where the book lost me a bit. That was 100% poorly executed. Overall I thought it was a 3.5 star kind of book, so the overhype is real, I agree on that as well.

It is ok pretty lady.

First-rate ranting!😂

That book sounds so bad …. Stereotypes like that are just stupid 😂 I love your honest reviews … thank you for that … it’s something that many book tubers do not do!

Yeah but wyte men literally walk around like silly little cartoon characters.

...didnt you know?

No, the BREASTS are the best part

Horror at its core has always been a platform for looking and at analyzing the evils and horrors of the world - there are many ways to do it well, and many ways to do it terribly. This book did it terribly by focusing more on cookie cutter stereotypical archetypes instead of fleshing out any real characters, whether protagonist, side character, or villain. The book is a fucking mess.

Whenever I read a horror fiction novel, I look forward to a lecture about a social issue from the author. 🤷🏻

Slay Queen.

I hate when booktube overhypes books. I just finished reading, "Incidents around the house"and it was so disappointing IMO. They kept saying this book was so scary, it had a few unsettling moments and the ending was such a letdown. I think after reading Into the wolves den and Gone to see the riverman I might be too desensitized. lol

Is she even a murderer? Is she even a cannibal? I dont even see the point of the title unless she eats an actual eyeball.

Yes!! Thanks! I have been on an extreme horror binge but needed LIT FIC lately❤

"Spoiled by reading lit fic" aka my blessing and my curse 🤣

It's giving.... cheap feminist Dead Eleven

A bunch of the books/authors you hate just won or were nominated for the Goodreads Choice Awards. As an author, I'm really starting to see how corrupt or rigged the system is for books and publishing. Stephen King won the horror category with a short story collection... dude hasn't written anything good in years! Your Sarah J. Maas books won the Romantasy categories.

Love your reaction videos 😂😂😂😂❤❤❤

Richard Laymon is for the degens 😂 and I say that as a fan of his books

LOUD NOISES! AHHH! You yell in all your videos lol

I smelled poop and open wound decaying puss while reading this book. Still it was an enjoying read. It took me about 2mnth to get through this short read because I had to take breaks😂

My new favorite channel. ❤😂🎉😮

"The Eyes Are the Best Part" is sadly in the running for the HWA Bram Stoker Award for Superior Achievement in a First Novel. And if Tolkien were alive, Fourth Wing would have made him wish he'd died in the Battle of the Somme.

I hated maevefly 🫤 it dragged
