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

[@MagusMarquillin]

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!

Great video, really sharp satire and humorous portrayal of what we see and perhaps even participate in a lot as book readers. You are able to concisely encapsulate so many ideas and thoughts I have had subconsciously, and bring them to the forefront beautifully. Unsubscribed

I remember the first time I went on goodreads, and half the reviews were filled up with unrelated GIFs and images, and I was like "nope, I'm out"

[@ManCarryingThing]

you don't understand. you can't review a book without a gif

It's impossible to find anything that's not rated 4.5 stars these days

[@alexisdumas84]

I lot of my favorite sci-fi books are at like 3.8.

[@mohaamer6866]

Maybe because all of these books find their niche or are published for a specific group it's always so high?

[@riley8385]

If a mainstream book is below 4 stars you know it's really bad.

[@The92Waffles]

I'm someone who's usually pretty generous with ratings. Unless I absolutely hated a book I'll probably give you a 3 at worst

[@AkashSingh-jv5im]

I feel bad for rating a book I really liked 4 stars, because I'm bringing down the average. But 4/5 is a really good rating. 5/5 means the book was perfect and very few books even get close to perfect.

dr Seuss illustrating a King book would've been tight

[@kingcrimson4133]

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.

[@RalphNC09]

For real though XD I was never a fan of how people review on Goodreads. I don't have the app or anything, so I just go on the website to see what people think about a book I'm fixing to read. But then they talk about how "so and so recommended this to me," say a bunch of stuff that doesn't help, use stupid memes. Then halfway through their review, they finally start telling me what I want to know about the book.

[@someobserver844]

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.
