Just goes to go show that one person's trash is another person's treasure 😂 The ones on The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet were hilarious. Happy characters being nice to each other? The horror!

[@katekilroy7827]

Has anyone ever experiences the opposite of this? I've had it happen where someone gives me a glowing review of one of their favorite five star reads and every detail they give convinces me more that it isn't the book/series for me. I always feel a bit bad about it, even when it's an online review by a stranger who will never know.

[@JeansThoughts]

Ahahah no this has definitely happened to me too!

[@Jess_King]

"gave up when it got smutty" Hi Who's That Earl, welcome to my TBR.

[@JeansThoughts]

Ahahahaha quite ;)

[@thistley_42]

The ‘Tipping the Velvet is about lesbians 😮’ one made me laugh. I’m imagining that reviewer’s shock discovering Oranges are not the only fruit is not about the life of a Yorkshire greengrocer.

[@JeansThoughts]

Ahahaha damn I should have checked those review too because honestly I bet there is at least one!

[@nokiddingbrainless]

This is such a fun concept I love it! And yes those 1-star reviews definitely bumped The Long Way To A Small Angry Planet up my tbr. I LOVE happy fluffy stories. I honestly believe we need more of it. My friend wrote a short story a while ago with no conflict whatsoever and it made me realize just HOW RARE that is. I think the idea that conflict is essential to a story is such a lie. The story was super engaging and compelling and SO comforting and it still felt purposeful and complete without any conflict and it is one of my favourite pieces of fiction I've ever read. And now I am obsessed with finding more stories that have little to no conflict. This is also one of the reasons I love studio Ghibli for example: a lot of their films have no real antagonist and are just stories about Nice People Being Nice to Each Other, which is how I would characterize a lot of my favourite stories.

[@BeautifullyBookishBethany]

Haha!! I love this so much! And yeah, this is exactly why negative reviews are actually useful. The reviews of the Becky Chambers book made me laugh. They aren't wrong, but that's what I loved about it!

[@laureb7697]

hahaha woman's lib and novel's should ::always::be::combined:: hahaha, louder for the people in the back !

[@JeansThoughts]

ALWAYS

[@luciepasquier3730]

A book described as a soap opera with dragons absolutely makes me want to read it 😁

[@shibasandshelves]

I’m swayed to read things by 1 or 2 star reviews a lot! When I see words like “weird” and “confusing” I immediately add the book to my TBR! On the other hand, seeing glowing reviews that mention “detailed world building” and “complex magic system” I can usually assume that a book won’t be to my taste. There are usually modifiers that can negate those things and still make me pick something up but they make me cautious. Also, those reviews totally made me want to reread Tipping the Velvet again!

[@Lucadonta]

Yess to happy books! Sometimes life is just a bit to heavy to read about more of the same. I am sold on A Long Way to a Small Angry Planet.

[@hannahs_blog]

I need to get my hands on The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet now!! loved this video :D

[@NaomichatswithAngus]

Someone really needs to recreate the novels and Women's Lib quote as a post we can all share on Instagram. Singing the song of our people there, Jean.

[@juliaw8412]

those reviews of the long way to a small angry planet crack me up!!!!! if i wouldn't have read it already, i would do so immediately lmao.

[@Kimberton149]

My favourite ever 1 star review is the one for Pride and Prejudice titled "just a bunch of people going to each other's houses". I laugh every time I think about it

[@eringolive]

Oh my goodness! The Small Way to a Small Angry Planet reviews are perfection. A happy happy, millennial, found-family emotional space adventure.

[@JeansThoughts]

Don't forget written by a purple haired gender studies student!

[@eringolive]

@@JeansThoughts 🤣 Yes. That part is crucial.

[@griffendell]

I finally found a one star review that makes me want to read a book and I have to share it here. It's "Green Rider" by Kristen Britain: "If magic horses and riders aren't enough for the tired old the-throne-is-threatened-oh-no-must-save-it! trope, add bad elves, ancient magics, rich men who mysteriously fall for the heroine, shadowy bad guys, Disney-esque old ladies in isolated magical mansions and too-helpful ghosts to the mix." I honestly think this sound like so much fun xD

[@elizabethbuerke7854]

I just purchased The Five last week at a bookstore. I can't wait to read it.

[@LillaVaennen]

This exact same thing happened to me with "An Enchantment of Ravens" by Margaret Rogerson. I can't find the exact Goodreads review but I remember vividly that the commentator complained about the relationship "almost feeling like INSTALOVE!?!" and that "noone told them this would be a TRAVELLING(!) book". I was sold. I love travelling and falling head over heels in my fantasy books and "An Enchantment of Ravens" did not disappoint, it was a five star read for me. Hearing all these one star reviews for Becky Chambers' "The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet" has actually motivated me to finally pick up the book. It's been sitting on my shelf for ages but I was afraid it might be full of angst and "morally gray" characters that get praised so often. Happy people hugging in space? Yes please. Some reviewers make me really wonder who hurt them.

[@kristinka1919]

Love that concept and the way you delivered it, would love more ! :D To answer your question. Yes, I definitely have read some 1star reviews and thought: "That is exactly what I want right now!"

[@radiantchristina]

I have found many a great book through one star reviews. Sometimes it is exactly what someone doesn't like that i love in the book :)

[@JeansThoughts]

Exactly!!!

[@joreads8782]

I once read a one star review of The Queen of theTearling that was a clearly aimed at entertaining. I remember wondering why the reviewer thought it was totally implausible that a bunch of guards would get drunk while they were supposed to be guarding “the queen” and cause a whole bunch of problems. I ended reading the entire trilogy, although that was more because I wondered at the difference between that review and when RinceyReads reviewed it. If I had not seen that review I don’t think I would have read it. The last book has its issues, but thank you one star review!

[@quirkydee45]

I have had The Long Way To A Small Angry Planet on my 'someday' list for awhile now, but these definitely sold me on moving it up the list!!! Supportive friendships, hell yes!

[@clairebearbooks6248]

"All novels should also be womens lib manifestos." Preach 😂 This was a really fun concept, would love it if you decided to do more similar to this.

[@kirstyoldfield3794]

I’m not a sci fi fan but those reviews for Small Angry Planet make me want to read the book 📚

[@JeansThoughts]

Honestly it's the perfect entry sci-fi!

[@christinacampbellbooks]

This has definitely pushed The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet up my TBR. I'll have to read it next month! :)

[@thoroughlyenjoyedbooks8565]

I hope you LOVE Tipping the Velvet! It’s slow but beautiful. I’ll be starting my MA dissertation on it soon 💕

[@losermillie]

That’s amazing, I really enjoyed it and went in completely blind!

[@amarantareyes5696]

Great idea! I enjoyed it so much! I started reading The Five, and it's so good.

[@JeansThoughts]

Yay so pleased you're enjoying it!

[@Iry951]

That was fun to watch! It is funny how sometimes bad reviews make you want to read a book. I think it happened to me once or twice. Do you reckon you will do a similar video like that again? I'd love to watch that!

[@VelvetLibrary]

"soap opera about dragons"?? I'm sold

[@JeansThoughts]

EXACTKY

[@thariena]

This was such a fun video. 'The long way to a small angry planet' is definitely higher on my TBR now.

[@JeansThoughts]

Aw I'm so pleased you enjoyed it - it was such a different one for me but I had a lot of fun with it!

[@SonsOfLorgar]

That entire series are amazing in quality, which makes the dark parts of the books so much more heart wrenching. Parts of them made me cry for the characters...

[@HanaMar3i]

I loved this video so much!! (Like I regularly do love your videos, but this one was especially cool)

[@Jane42.]

I heard a book tuber talk about how they did not like Ruin of Kings by Jenn Lyons, as there were multiple narrators who talked over each other and weird footnotes of other characters interjecting in the story, and unreliable narrators, and I added it to my TBR immediately.

[@MaijaReads]

Oh, I bought that one for similar reasons! (Haven't read it yet.)

[@catarinathebookworm]

I have indeed read one star reviews that just made me think well that sounds like a five star book for me so this video was really cool! 😁

[@PullDownTheMoon]

😂😂😂 that review for the white mare was hilarious. I really enjoy watching videos in which people talk about their DNF's because I usually pick up books that I like the sound of, so I always watch DNF vids. I read The Long Way about a month ago and those reviews are funny, some of them are right lol but still enjoyed the book. I gave it 4 stars because do agree with whoever said the build up is the story, and I wasn't expecting that.

[@deadbookdarling]

Lol I really couldn’t get into the Becky Chambers books, exactly because of the reasons in the reviews you read. But I quickly understood that while that wouldn’t work for me, it was exactly what the author was going for and loads of people would love it. I would never have considered rating 1 star because of that.

[@OhioEddieBlack]

This was an excellent idea!! Loved it!

[@apocalypsereading7117]

this SPEAKS to me - love it when bad reviews make me want to pick up a book. film reviews too - i remember one about a film that i loved which complained that "the characters never have their motivations explained, it's like even they don't know why they're doing terrible things" which made me realise that was one of the reasons i loved it so much ~

[@phillipedwin2833]

..& '..Why is it always '..member!'?' Ha!! Love it!!

[@tiffanyanne7861]

I absolutely love this video idea! I have picked up a few books because of someone else's negative/1 star reviews and they've become favourites for me.

[@tiffanyanne7861]

for example, I was thinking of picking up The Midnight Bargain and the one star review you shared in this video has convinced me I need to sooner than later lol

[@PlantBasedBride]

Lol I could not agree more about the long way to a small angry planet! I (shockingly, apparently) enjoy reading about characters who treat each other with respect and kindness 😂 I want all the twee millennials in space hugging it out sci fi in my life, please and thanks! 🥰

[@onginiivist]

Great video! Laughed so much. Saved this video as a TBR.

[@JeansThoughts]

I'm so glad it gave you a giggle ^_^

[@milom5030]

That's such a cool idea for a video! Make more of these, please😊

[@zoeatrics]

Love this concept! I have often also had the opposite experience where someone's five star review made me go "hell NO" and immediately take it off by TBR!!

[@sarah456832]

I second the call for happier books! Sometimes I just can't read because things are too heavy in real life and books often center around conflict and sometimes I can't handle that! A good book for when you feel like this is Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day, it's just so sweet and low stakes. Can't wait to read the Becky Chambers book now.

[@teaspoones]

This was so much fun! I had some of them on my shelves already and now want to read them even more 😁

[@martacox8411]

I remember years ago seeing Tipping the Velvet on tv starring Keeley Hawes and they did a very good job .

[@phormidable]

Yes isn't ist just excellent?

[@griffendell]

This video was much more entertaining than I thought it would be. 😂 I seriously wonder how some people decide to pick up certain books when it's so obvious that the books biggest selling point is not what they want to read. I do sooo much research before purchasing a book. I don't understand how some people are just like "Oh 'Tipping the velvet'... always wanted to read a novel about tailors."

[@galatruc5480]

Love the idea ahah, still intrigued by Naamah's Kiss, I need to get my hands on it!!

[@FaeryLaume]

That review made me go add it to my TBR list.

[@FaeryLaume]

i loved this! I was laughing so hard at the reviews for Small Angry Planet. (I read it, I loved it. Whenever I tried to convince other people to read it too I'd say something like "nothing really happens in the book but it doesn't matter, that's not the point of the book".) I can't think of any specific bad reviews that sold me on a book, but it's definitely happened. And recently I've been all about paying attention to three star ratings because often I find myself shocked that a book I discovered, read, and loved without checking the reviews beforehand, end up having three stars (overall, not specific reviews). Here's my theory on them - it means that there was something odd, quirky, different, or daring in the book that half the people loved and half did not. (Of course it could also mean that the characters or plot weren't fully developed or the writing wasn't great.) Speaking of humorous reviews, have you seen these? instagram.com/subparparks/?hl=en

I picked a book because the reviewer complained about too much descriptions, pages and pages of details, yes that is my kind of novel!!!

[@sophiechristie8505]

I adore your energy in this video!! I first read Sarah Waters' Fingersmith without knowing it was *lesbians*! But it only made the book better

[@charlottem2422]

this video is a JOY 🧡 something I see written as a negative but that makes me more interested is when books are described as “slow” YES GIMME! (I think you feel the same which is why I can’t believe you haven’t read more Robin Hobb, I find the pacing and level of detail so reminiscent of Juliet Marilier ☺️)

[@JeansThoughts]

Ahahaha I agree though, slow fantasy is perfection. I loved all the dragon keeper books by robin hobb I just KEEP going back and forth between which of her others to read next. I did read the piebald prince too but was a bit meh on it.

[@charlottem2422]

@@JeansThoughts I started with the Liveship Traders not realising the Farseer books “came first”, and then read those immediately after. I love ALL of the series so much, buuut I think maybe you might prefer Liveship Traders as a starting point? It’s multiple perspective like Dragon Keeper, there are so many interesting and complex female characters, the character development is SO good (and there are also a few romance subplots in there) (TW for sexual assault in the 3rd book, I think RH handles it well, but just a heads up) This was a ramble but I hope it helps, I think RH is at her best when she can really take her time with a story, so I think something shorter like Piebald Prince doesn’t do her storytelling justice. I’ve been rereading the entire series the last few months and really can’t recommend them enough ☺️🧡

[@AllieYea]

So many salty, salty tears over The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet. Your phone case is also very cute.

[@nishapan1376]

I have also been wanting to read more feel good books, and didn’t really know where to start, but I might start with The Long Way to a Small and Angry Planet. Perhaps feel-good books is another video?

[@roz3908]

Becky Chambers' books are literally hopepunk! They are all about thinking about the future more positively! So if you're just a grump, then obviously don't read her books. But hopepunk is just so amazing and refreshing that I can't help but love it!

[@JeansThoughts]

Hopepunk!? I had no idea this was an actual subgenre and now I NEED MORE. If you have more recs let me know!

[@roz3908]

​@@JeansThoughts You could start by checking out this article, which has a list of book/music/tv/movie recs at the end. www.vox.com/2018/12/27/18137571/what-is-hopepunk-noblebright-grimdark But basically anything that is focused on kindness and building positive social systems can count as hopepunk - LOTR is actually mentioned a lot.

[@MrRorosuri]

well, i'm adding all on my tbr 😁😁😁🤗

[@JeansThoughts]

Aha snap ;)

[@GreenBitterfly]

I do get people not liking certain genres, I struggle with fantasy mostly, but it seems a bit churlish to complain about that in a review. I mean books nowadays are clearly signposted as being in specific genres through online bookshops and websites like Goodreads. I really liked Tipping the Velvet, and I have fond memories of borrowing the audiobook on cassette from the library (only about 8 years ago) and listening to it quite a few times. Although there's a section in Tipping the Velvet that I find so unspeakably sad that I struggle to get through that point. I think my top two favourite Sarah Waters books are Affinity and Fingersmith.

[@readingwithursula9706]

lol those Chambers reviews definitely made me want to pick up the book. I love happy fiction. For me, whenever I see a review for a scifi book that complains about the technology/science being too magic-y, it's an instant sell for me.

[@AthynVixen]

Hahah omg Jean thanks so much for this, I laughed uproariously throughout... ok I did just take a Jamesons masterclass but it's genuinely hilarious.. Excellent Idea ..

[@annesbookishcorner]

I completely agree with you about The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet! It's become one of my favourite books exactly *because* it is so happy while also exploring important themes

[@JeansThoughts]

Please keep shouting this cause one of the reasons a couple of agents have turned down my book is exactly this, implying there's no demand for it.

[@annesbookishcorner]

@@JeansThoughts Wow, that sucks!! I hope another agent will see the light soon and decide to represent you!

[@lornacant2549]

Tipping the Velvet is amazing! But in my personal opinion Sarah Waters best book is Fingersmith. If you like massive plot twists then I would recommend. It's a book I wish I could read for the first time again.

[@shangc2781]

"After reading this is just makes you feel hopeless" is part of a 1 star review of my favourite book that I've just gone to Goodreads to find. That feeling is not why I loved it, but it's very accurate! 1984 by Orwell. The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet is a big warm hug in book form and I adored it. I'm not sure I could trust someone who didn't!* *That's a joke. Sort of.

[@arp711]

HOW DARE anyone trash Tipping the Velvet!!! It's Sapphic as fuck and amazing, yes please read it. Also, "a soap opera about dragons" sounds like that person was told "Please write a review that will specifically make Jean want to read it" 🐉🐉🐉

I thought the origin story for this video was going to be The Majesties!

[@karakask5488]

Just sold me on White Mare! I do this a lot, usually when someone complains about how dark a book is, I immediately want to read it. My big thing is, if you're not enjoying a book, why complete it? No one has time for that

[@lupinelibrary]

What a great idea for a video! Those reviews definitely convinced me to finally pick up A Long Way to a Small and Angry Planet 😂 love a happy book! I’m amazed anyone could pick up Tipping the Velvet without knowing it’s filled to the brim with lesbians, like... it’s Sarah Waters...

[@GhostsOfThings]

I have a similar experience with horror novels. I've been following people who read a book that perhaps has a twist and they update "hold up this isn't what i signed up for" kind of thing and that makes me immediately add it to my tbr 🤣 Also - I've been wavering on reading the long way to a small angry planet and those reviews have made me want to read it immediately.

[@hanghuhn]

Okay a soap opera about dragons? That sounds very interesting! I mean who doesn’t secretly like a bit of a soap opera?! And with dragons in it? That’s a lot better than the soap operas on television. I put the book on my wishlist although I don’t read much fantasy (I did when I was around 17 or 18, which is ... omg 18 years ago).

[@JeansThoughts]

Literally ALL the characters are dragons as well! Tbh it reads more like a historical regency novel than fantasy (just with dragons aha).

[@SonsOfLorgar]

@@JeansThoughts sounds like something to try out XD

[@inessamaria2428]

Great discussion!

[@Books_BrewsandBeyond]

Some of these peoples comments are quite strange... even if it is their opinion. For the record, I read The Five a while ago and I absolutely loved it- came out as a 5 star read for me. The book talked about the "victims" as it was meant to be from their viewpoint in a monologue format as it wasn't based on the killings of Jack the ripper so wtf lol. The book flew for me personally.

[@rosiejennapsych]

The review of The Five made me facepalm like it was 2013

[@violaivy]

This is such a good idea! I once read a review about a Deadman comic that said: the comic is "Crimson Peak (as in the gothic Guillermo del Toro film) with gender politics." Sounds good to me! Crimson Peak is one of my favourite films and I'm down for gender politics. Funnily enough Crimson Peak has what can be called "gender politics" it's a female centric film, with a main character who openly shows frustration towards restricting gender roles of her time. In the review, I think the gender politics was about the queer representation in the comic, the main character is bisexual and one of the characters is non-binary. People who are (willfuly) ignorant about feminism and the LGBTQIA community often conflate and mix-up the two.

[@JeansThoughts]

Now I want to read it aha - that sounds brilliant!

[@violaivy]

@@JeansThoughts I realise I didn't write down the title. It's Deadman: Dark Mansion of Forbidden Love. It's published by DC, Deadman is one of their characters but it's a standalone story that can be read without knowing things about the DC comics universe. I hope you'll like it of you decide to read it!

[@violaivy]

I noticed reviews like that for Long Way to a Small and Angry Planet. Some people are so threatened by the existence of happy, optimistic sci-fi especially if it has representation of groups, sexualities etc they don't belong to. It's sad, isn't reading science fiction supposed to be about (among other things) being open minded to new ideas? Also the book, and especially the sequel does absolutely get into the darker sides of AIs and sentience. A story doesn't have to be grimdark to have depth and explore issues.

[@ViridianForests]

A two-star review on amazon brought me to "Unnatural Magic" by C.M. Waggonner. It's not a perfect book, but it's somewhere between good and okay and I had fun reading it. I'll probably read it again once its been a year or so. Here's the original comment: "This was not your typical fantasy, I grant it that much, but the author's reach far exceeded their grasp in this mislabeled gender studies unit taking a stroll in high fantasy duds. I'm down with any gender POV or alien POV or whatever you've got, but it has to be anchored in a coherent plot and a consistent world and this book had neither. There was a mashup of two separate stories that never quite cohered, a "detective story" that was wholly unsatisfying and characters whose motivations were entirely alien, as absolutely no words were spent explaining the mores of this weird and gender-fluid world. Something has to connect the reader to the story, some exposition or illumination of the world in a setup or reveal that explains why these characters act the way they do, otherwise you have no compass to follow in deciphering their actions. Was two of the protagonists being romantically involved considered transgressive? It seemed like it should be, but since the reader had no sense of what the norms of this society were, there's no way to tell what was transgressive and what was not, and thus almost no suspense or impact for me. The role of the Trolls as being both revered and reviled was also nonsensical, and varied so greatly from locale to locale without explanation that I was thinking this was some pre-holocaust fantasy writing with Trolls cast as prewar Polish Jews (and homosexuals, and The Other), but again if that was the main point, the exposition came up far too short for me to get a handle on it. I left the book about 80% finished after the several-th time the characters and populace did something completely baffling to me in light of what I thought I'd learned about this world in the previous couple dozen chapters. Please, change my mind if you can." The worldbuilding isn't perfect and yeah there are a lot of questions, but I liked the fact that the book stepped away from at least some of the writing conventions you usually see and I wasn't quite sure how the story would go. Its a good book for some mindless reading a wholesome bi-trans(?) relationship and a coming of age and empowerment of a girl whose society thinks girls shouldn't do magic. The coolest thing about this book is its magic system. It sits somewhere between programming, mathematics and using complicated softwares, and the stuff you can do with it are wonderful and feel surprisingly grounded. The person who did the 2-star review isn't wrong though, if anything in there is a complete turn off for you, then don't read this book. I picked it up because I was curious and because I knew I probably wouldn't really mind once I was reading.
