Almost had an aneurysm while you were talking about lord of the rings. Passed out during sword of kaigen. Woke up to way of kings hate and vomited blood. All the others were gut punches. (Except for wheel of time which i actually do hate. Sorry richard) dont know how y'all did this but good job

[@2ToRamble]

😂

[@DarkHorseDanny]

This video shows that even the books we love and consider "perfect" have their flaws, and that's okay. In fact, it's these imperfections that make them real and relatable, reminding us that nothing is truly flawless-yet still worthy of our admiration

[@rorono_adam]

Their shared pain while hating on the first 2 books devolving into them switching between pain and glee hearing the other trash on red rising or wheel of time is perfect. 10/10

[@AndrewFrancisIlyrian]

Those two last books are quite shitty.

[@Marty_M06]

It’s so weird how accurate the WOT critiques are yet I love the series so much

[@angussinclair1344]

Two episodes in succession with the camera out of focus. Guess you'll have to start uploading daily to compensate.

[@hmn166]

I just want to thank you guys! I’ve always wanted to start reading fantasy but felt it was too overwhelming. I had only read LOTR in university, but never felt quite sure where to go next. Thanks to you I’ve read the first three Mistborn books and I’m halfway through Oathbringer, with Hyperion and Sword of Kaigen waiting in my TBR once I finish Wind and Truth. You are awesome! Love your friendship, reminds me of me and my best friends. Keep at it!!

[@IbbyMelbourne]

How are you liking Stormlight so far? Way of Kings was the book that got me back into reading.

[@2ToRamble]

Thanks so much, Happy reading and Happy early New Year

[@jweather66]

Dang you've just been reading series exclusively? I am afraid of getting into series, but I loooove fantasy standalones

[@darrowalstormblessed]

Wheel of time is one of the most impactful and important reading experiences I’ve ever had, that I would recommend to almost nobody.

[@ZenosWarbirds]

I agree 💯 on the “Way of Kings.” It’s the last Sanderson book I’ll read. I don’t want to become locked in thrall into Cosmere universe, like a sapper in “The Will of the Many.” Life is too short.

[@tommyleemeyer]

I love this because it shows that even though you absolutely loved these books and would likely rate them highly, you can recognize what other people might not like about them. But that doesn't take away from your enjoyment. No gatekeeping. No yucking anyone's yum.

[@suvideiann9227]

That defeated tone in Richard's voice when asked why he hates Lonesome Dove so much. 😂🤭

[@aaronwatts72]

I love Richards face during the red Rising review. Pure joy and satisfaction

[@emilyharmston324]

My husband and I have both read Lonesome Dove, and my husband says the biggest flaw in Lonesome Dove is that they spend less than a quarter of the book in Lonesome Dove. That is all.

[@HollowDomain110]

This is gold, boys. Pure gold. I anticipate seeing other Booktubers sniping this format to start off 2025.

[@avsambart]

Describing Red Rising as hunger games and reading the cw immediately moved it way up my tbr list!

[@ethanmartin1456]

Patiently waiting for the Wind & Truth review

[@PageTurnersbooktube523]

This is the firsttime yall have popped up on my feed in months...... didn't know i missed yall this much haha

[@2ToRamble]

Glad we made it back 😮‍💨

[@jaishans]

Those wheel of time comments felt like a pitch on how good it is. 😉

[@focusrelax8838]

27:39 “one great book which it’s not!” Love the honesty! It’s a okey book only for me. I got hooked for the plot a nd story, even if the plot is slow

[@titantv4567]

You are right Rich, Lonesome Dove has nothing on Fourth Wing. 😂

[@ashleyholbird4287]

Shoutout to austin for actually explaining why i ACTUALLY hate red rising.

[@2ToRamble]

😂 Im glad I did it service

[@thirteenonline9503]

Do this every April Fools

[@AuntieBooks]

Rich unable to hate Lonesome Dove is adorable! 😂

[@Talking_Story]

This was a fun 1 guys loved it!

[@N.A.Summur]

This made me laugh. Fun video!

[@esmayrosalyne]

As someone who has a lot of questionable faves, I am just revelling in watching your guys' pain and have decided that I will never follow in your footsteps 🤣🤣

[@2ToRamble]

😂

[@kendrarichardson8811]

Love this concept of a video. This was great! 😂

[@2ToRamble]

Thank you!

[@leila2109]

Well i discover RED RISING because of you, and i'm very happy about it. I know i was under a rock 😅

[@kennyclips658]

Suspicious how naturally some of these criticisms came for you guys 🤨🤨

[@golovkinko1145]

Red rising as series goated but lions of al rassan is legit not one negative lol that standalone is as good as one book can be.. characters fleshed out to great ending I still think about lol everybody should read Lions of al rassan

[@Twenty-Seven]

I'm in the middle of reading Endymion right now, and when Rich read the first sentence of Hyperion... damn. Dan Simmons must actually research what he wrote previously while writing his later books lol. I completely forgot about anything before the 7 pilgrims boarded Ygdrassil and started telling their stories.

[@B-MC]

When your 'complaints' of Wheel Of Time completely match my 'complaints' of Princess Bride ... convinces me all the further to hate-read it.

[@thebookthatnooneread]

This is so great and hilarious, because the things you “hate” are actually true! Especially about TWOT and Red Rising, I still love them both though!🤣 🤣

[@Ruthi3ry]

I'm not gonna lie the Red Rising & TWoK ones kinda hurt ... 😂

[@2ToRamble]

😁😁

[@avsambart]

Any books I already had on my tbr have been pushed UP because of this video 😂 this was so good even if it probably hurt y'all to say bad things about your favs 😂

[@2ToRamble]

😂 we’re very glad it did the job

[@Beethovens.diving-gear]

TWoK bit tore my soul apart

[@MorgothsBalrog]

At the end of the video, you made me believe you actually hate these books.😂😂😂

[@2ToRamble]

GOOOOD

[@PhineasPlauche]

"I don't think there's a flaw." is what I said about Jade Legacy on goodreads. I'm still right. Also, I think the 100 was on the Syfy channel, not the CW. Arrowverse was CW.

[@AndrewFrancisIlyrian]

I'm sorry you have no taste.

[@PhineasPlauche]

@@AndrewFrancisIlyrian I think it goes the other way around. Jade legacy is a 4.63/5 on goodreads, the masses agree with me

[@fjwright04]

This is a good bit… but when are we dropping our top ten reads this year

[@2ToRamble]

We might not do that im not sure, ill have to ask rich

[@dishamistrymazepa7632]

Slander most foul 😂

[@Killakaysz]

So..... rich actually hates TWOT... got it 😅

[@2ToRamble]

Correct -A

[@Twenty-Seven]

I really want to hear your guys' take on the Ender-verse/Shadow-verse, particularly Rich's opinion since he seems to mention EG more often. I _really_ want to hear what you think about the last book lol. ***SPOILER ALERT*** It wasn't just a bad ending. It was disturbing how terrible it was. He didn't "write himself into a corner" like he kept saying. His lazy ass just didn't feel like coming up with anything clever. It tainted the entire series for me unfortunately.

[@ryanskeff]

This episode was hard for me too.

[@General_reader]

The pain. Oh pain.

[@supermayo8a]

UNFOCUSED CAMERA? Who gives a F** when I can hear your lovely voices and imagine your crisp faces!

[@2ToRamble]

😂😂

[@alsocciarelli3823]

Good day and Happy New Years Eve..eve! lol "....the CW" LOL OH yeah!

[@richardanderson1008]

I legitimately hate the lord of the rings books, I read the hobbit and the fellowship of the rings. Outside of Bilbo and Sam, all of the characters are the same, they just know different things. Also Tolkien pontificates on the grass while skipping dialogue and lore.

[@minaa107]

yall are making it too easy for someone to clip you guys out of context and get you cancelled on twitter or something 😂 also skillshare? get your bag guys 😉

[@2ToRamble]

😂😂. (And thank you 😁)

[@ElijsDima]

Such an unfocused discussion this time lads

[@LolaDelMarCaribe]

And tons of spoilers, not direct but enough to interpret 😅

[@rextitan]

This series definitely hasn’t been my favourite. I’m not getting much enjoyment from what are effectively made up opinions, and this episode especially felt more on the line of spoiling books than normal. And on a completely separate note, I hate this podcast,(I love this podcast.) It’s just two American dudes chatting a bunch of rubbish about British men. British men are cool. I would know. For I am one of them. Britsplaining is what the world needs! (not really.)

[@2ToRamble]

Will be super careful about straddling that line - let us know what seemed spoilery in the future and we’ll keep watch, rly want to be careful about that!

[@rextitan]

@@2ToRamble I've not read most of the books in this video yet, so I can't be sure if i'm right, but the depth of discussion on Hyperion and its individual stories seemed close to the line for me, and also the wheel of time section seemingly went quite deep in specifics. I don't know how much of a spoiler it actually is but from an uninformed point of view, "the chosen one is actually going to doom the world" seemed like a big thing to just throw out there in open discussion. I do want to be clear, i still had fun with this episode, it just wasn't batting among the best for me this time. Have a good new year guys!

[@IbbyMelbourne]

​@@rextitanDon't worry about TWoT part. That's actually the general premise for the story, and you find that out pretty early in the first book.

[@rextitan]

​@@IbbyMelbourne I appreciate the context. Thank you!

[@MichalGlowacz86]

I gave up on The Wheel of Time after reading The Eye of the World, so my perspective on the entire series is very limited, but as far as I'm concerned, you did a good job hating on it. Though you didn't emphasize enough how bad the characters are (in The Eye of the World there are only three types of characters - boring ones and annoying ones).

[@2ToRamble]

Correct opinion -A
