Whale Fall - Daniel Kraus | THRILLER RANT REVIEW

[@Travsbookshelf]

Awesome review! You gave me a lot of new perspectives on this and now I may have to retro change my rating lol. Have fun in Peru and be safe!

[@Deep_in_the_Reads]

Thank you! But don't let me pressure you into changing your mind :P Maybe I missed something or I took it too seriously, I dunno. And yes, I'll try not to do anything too unsafe in Peru, thanks ;)

@@Deep_in_the_Reads Lol I probably won’t change my rating. I guess I’m just a tad jealous because you’re obviously a much deeper thinker than I am, hence your very impressive review. So no, you did not take it too seriously. You did just perfect. I’m one of these “surface-y” type readers who thinks only on the most basic levels. I wish I could train myself to delve more into the deeper, more intimate analyses of books. But for now, I just love talking about my own personal experiences from reading, shallow as they are lol. But I’m cool with that. Look forward to seeing more of you on here.

@@Travsbookshelf Everyone has their own ways of reading, that's what makes each booktuber unique! There's no better or worse way to go about it as long as you're enjoying doing it :D Thanks! I don't post often but it's always nice to know there are people that enjoy how I talk about books when I've got the time ^^

First ant: I had a horrible dream. I was kicking, punching and biting the anteater! Second ant: What's so horrible about that? We all have that dream! First ant: From the inside!?!

Fantastic work! A good book review ultimately makes best use of a reader’s limited reading time. Your honest opinion is always a breath of fresh air. This sounded like such an interesting concept too. What a shame. I had plans to check this out but I think I’ll direct my attention somewhere else. I probably wouldn’t be able to get past over explaining and too much style over substance. I could borrow it from the library to check out the early whale scene I suppose. Best of luck on your trip!!! 🛫

Thank you very much! I try :P I may not have reviewed this book at all, I was just feeling it was weak but not worth talking about--it was its stance on the relationship that made me know I had a rant in me that needed to get out! Maybe the next time I pick up horror it should be at least 10 years old. Every time I try one that came out in the last few years I'm disappointed... except for The Troop! But maybe you'd like Whalefall better than me? I have 3 friends that have read it and they all liked it a lot. Thank you, I'll be sure to do a video on it once I get back!

10 years is a good rule. Fad books don't usually last that long. Though reading fad books from 20 or 30 years ago could be interesting. Uh... maybe. Yeah, you're the fourth person to talk up the Troop so I feel good about reading that later this year.

[@Deep_in_the_Reads]

@@literallybooks I definitely enjoy the idea of reading books that were super popular years back--that's part of why I gave James Michener a try recently. It's interesting, for sure :D Eager to hear your thoughts on the Troop! Hope it hasn't been built up too much for you, haha

[@literallybooks]

Its definitely fun to read yesterday’s popular books with some perspective. My wife picked up an old copy of 1969s(?) “Chariots of the Gods” some time ago as she’d read it as a kid (with a high degree of skepticism I’m sure). I’m considering giving it a look, through I’m a bit concerned about inviting some of that traffic. 😅

@@literallybooks Ohmigosh, I know the book. You gotta tell me what you think if you read it! Sorry for the upcoming ramble... I have such an intense hate-grudge for ancient aliens theorists because of how much they denigrate ancient history and the people/cultures that achieved such incredible things. I do intent to read the book eventually, just so I can shred it on my channel, haha. If you're interested, there's an incredible debunking video from 10 years ago on here that actually teaches you about the cultures mentioned and shows you how they were absolutely capable of building these things with stone age technology, and it also tears apart Chariots of the Gods specifically: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oGraXpxrpL-kl7Msi=uif1THB4qv2LJ5PQ It's one of my favourite videos on the platform!
