i was so scared and intimidated to read this book but to my surprise something clicked in my brain and I really enjoyed this one. I couldn't put it down which is so rare for me with classics, it was just so fascinating and also ridiculous and i wanted to know where this is going. sure maybe some stuff flew over my head but the things understood I did like alot and related to, to the point of feeling bad for the character at times. idk if there's something wrong with me too but I did understand what he means and reading the second part was so frustrating to me with how everyone around him chose to hang on all of the unimportant issues and making a huge deal out of nothing just bc they didn't see a point, they had to find one themselves no matter what (at least that's how I understood it). also bonus points for making me laugh once which is insane for a classic idk I didn't expect that
i can't believe this book that I picked up randomly earned itself a 5 star from me. this was so millenial and chronically online but in the best way AND SO FUNNY. like I never laugh while reading books and this one had me giggling and gasping every other page. the insane stories and circumstances, the commentary, the plot twist oh my god ?? its the kind of read that makes you annoyed with how good it is and that you actually enjoyed it and I've never felt that before in my life honestly. it's not perfect but for the sake of how entertaining it was and that it made me laugh (again, very rare) it deserves a 5
cover way better than what's inside. i expected the game and twitch to play a bigger part in this book and not just being mentioned constantly but the whole plot happening outside of the online space ? other than that it was fine and I even enjoyed the romance lol. also the whole plot with the sister is so weird idk how to feel abt that and the resolution at the end, it just feels unrealistic
it was fine. first half really had a grip on me and I read it in one day but then the rest of the book was just like idk dragging and here I am a week later finally done. i think the story just wasn't interesting to me, I didn't care abt a single character and they were all annoying and the only thing that kept me going was the cheating aspect but it wasn't really that interesting after a while. hate to compare it to normal poeple but I highlighted half of that book and think abt it everyday and abt all the beautiful sentences and conversations and this one just didn't have it in my opinion
3.5 but i feel generous today so rounding up to 4
wish I read this faster than in a week but job ruins my life so I couldn't, I think this should be read in a day or two. it was fun even tho I hate survival stories in a book form but this just worked idk. also this is literally man or bear discourse in a book and I'd still choose the bear/creature bc what the hell
