She clearly read the book.

This 40 year old woman can't handle a Scarlet Letter.

i hate these threads where people dont post the name of the fuking book

>>12312297
You're supposed to recognize the book instantly, before even reading the image

There’s a goodreads review of Reflections on the Revolution in France where the woman says the book is anti Semitic. I shit you not.

I don’t feel like finding it myself, but it’s out there

>>12311437

All of them, because they're written by women.

1) They almost never ran into random enemies. It was when they were in an enemies’ fortress (I.e. Saruman’s tower) or a former enemies’ fortress (mines of Moria) that they ran into trouble. Random wild enemies almost didn’t exist in the book except for the spider in HIS cave, or the spiders on the other side of the misty mountains in The hobbit.
2)the wizards like Gandalf or Saruman are like chess players represented by physical entities. They can do whatever they want to and let it just be over right then and there but there is a story to tell. For more about the wizards unbelievably exceptional powers, read the appendix for Lord of the Rings. They can literally take any shape they want to. So you’re right, but the kind of struggle that would involve ONLY Gandalf, Saruman, Sauron, etc. would be very unexciting.
3. They used many different methods of transportation so I have no clue what she is talking about. Most of those are technological achievements only really accessible in more warlike periods, or Dwarven technology. She is a fool

Book is The Sight, a story about a pack of wolves being harassed by an unholy sorceress wolfess, who’s trying to kill their kids to prevent a prophecy. Beautifully written with a surprisingly detailed lore and world building.

Enter this autistic bitch trying to be a wolfologist and who complains about how the wolves in the story don’t behave like real wolves or whatever, and gives the book one star despite openly stating she never finished it.

>>12313580
Pt.2

>>12313580
So this is autism.
I read that book as a kid, and doesn't it literally have (on top of wolves with human levels of intelligence and communication) wolf magic of a sort? Or at least supernatural elements.
Also
>complains about wolf accuracy
>writes like alpha males are an actual thing in wild packs
yikes

Sure thing pleb. Tell me more about whatever drivel he wrote this month? He writes more shitty novels than a horoscope

>>12313955
doesn't mean that he's read it.

It doesn’t stop there

betcha one whole internetcoin she's a tranny apologist

>>12312816
this review is more intriguing than /lit/'s description of it lol

>>12313955
king knows exactly who is audience is and he writes for them
he's made a very successful career out of it
doesn't mean he can't appreciate good literature

i'd be extremely hesitant to recommend 2666 to my genre fiction reading friends

>>12313028
Who's the author?

>>12312580
she was a conservative and got sick of /pol/
Like, you have the cool people that were always on the left and discuss Marx's market understanding and have a favorite post-marxist and maybe a favorite modern latin american leader. Then you have the people who are really mad at the church or their parents or /pol/ and sound like crazy old ladies trying to ban harry potter for promoting witchcraft.

People defined by their dislike rather than their real thoughs are just hateful.

It was a review of On the Heights of Despair by Cioran

>>12314765
Kek. Surprised she even bothered

I'm pretty sure that's a review for The Hobbit, not LotR.

He is not a good writer.

>>12312739
The dude put down For Whom the Bell Tolls for not having enough dialogue. I guess I never will wake up being normal after all.

>>12312739
as someone who has no idea about this book, can someone give me a tl;dr on why this review is so wrong?

>>12313299
She's probably a kike

>>12313299
a lot of leftist types actually support palestine

>>12312581
hot but literally wrong on everything

>>12315701
nice hand gun down there

>>12315193
Not incorrect, but it's kind of weird that she takes it so personally.

>>12313060
she read a translation where helene's name is "ellen" so i think that's her first problem

>>12315525
Honestly more offended by players dictating the results of their own roles, tbqhyb.

>>12313084
he's got some thicc oxford world classics. anyone have antvision so that these classics can be listed?

>>12312739
his profile photo is icing on the cake. anyone who treats goodreads as a social media is so insecure

>Garbage review completely devoid of any actual discussion of the book, but it's done in a "funny" way that imitates some distinctive style of the book - top review
>Decent, well written review that actually talks about the book somewhat in depth - buried under dozens of shit reviews
Every god damn time. Goodreads is absolute shit

>>12312739
Which book? I've actually read it and can't remember.

>>12315541
Because he’s a low iq asshole. He read for an hour, assuming a page a minute he read 60 pages in a 900 page book. Nothing happens because 2666 is not some trashy king novel with formulaic structure

>>12315829
It had to be said.

I'm Jewish and I have to admit that The Culture of Critique is pretty accurate. Although I don't see anything wrong with Jewish tribal behaviour. We have been oppressed throughout history (and will continue to be oppressed) so I think it's warranted unlike say white identity politics which is unwarranted and evil.

>>12312935
She’s absolutely right.

This but unironically.

>>12317282
I sometimes love this guy’s autism. Good example of someone, definitely a scholar, who is artistically well-read to a point /lit/ can’t compete with but is just so utterly blinded by his left ideology to dismiss whole books, authors, and ideas outright with a phrase or bitter rhetoric. Just see his reviews on Nietzsche if you really want to seethe

>>12314822
But she is dealing with the lore of both worlds. I do mention some things from The Hobbit in my post.

>>12314198
>whenever teachers were poaching victims to answer questions, perform presentations or generally humiliate
>that faulty parallelism
>good writer
Also a huge part of what makes a good writer is understanding your audience. The fact that literally every person who has ever read this review probably cringed out of their mind indicates that this guy does not know how to write for his audience.

>>12312580
> A trifecta affected most adversely by Conservative movement,masculinity and patriarchy!
You can't do that to the English language.

>>12312943
>>12319551
To elaborate on this: he is a reader, not a writer.
He has read lots of books, so he has a larger than average vocabulary and is familiar with the writing style used in a lot of books (especially older ones). He is just mimicking the style and regurgitating the words without really understanding how to use those tools in a way that makes for an enjoyable read.

>>12312943
i dare say, he sounds very much like "our guy"

>>12313702
>>12314320
I mean, he writes like a faggot, but he's not wrong

>>12319478
lol Dickens. Not bad, but hardly difficult or intellectual.

Why do they always have a ton of really retarded shelves?
