has anyone here read the book written by that autistic anglo youtuber Q (book club)

is it any good?

I’ve only read this one, and it is surprisingly unfunny. I have had the sequel on my shelf for like six years but haven’t read it.

This one

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GUj6sLO-vc

Or this

Call of the Cherokee because it's an all around great book that gets overshadowed by Call of the Crocodile. I really like Call of the Crocodile mostly due to the mindfuck twist. But Call of the Cherokee is the better mystery.

Jigoku is also fantastic because it's literally just Pokemon if it were horror.

>>19822355
what's it called? I had no idea he actually wrote
does he even make videos anymore?

>>19822051
I’ve read Call of the Crocodile as well as Call of the Arcade. Both were great.

>>19822186
>>19822297
this is basically correct. Ogden really puts work into his prose, and the story is genuinely interesting. Although I still haven't finished lol.

>>19822051
Thats how big it is?

>>19822536
No OP is just manlytears

>I really like Call of the Crocodile mostly due to the mindfuck twist.
Please spoil it to me if possible

>>19822569
At the end of the novel, you realize that you've wasted time and money on a terribly written book

>>19822186
>>19822297
Brothers…

I've only bought pic related and Call of the Croc

The stories were of varying quality but overall it was pretty good. Also read &amp online but that's not a book I guess

>>19822186
This guy is trying and is on the right track but that is not a good book.

The best /lit/ book is that Australian guy who got some short stories published by a small press.

>>19822639
Where can I cop this?

>>19822373
>Jigoku is also fantastic because it's literally just Pokemon if it were horror.
I've been seeing almost this exact phrase posted here a lot recently. Did Gardner only give you one script?

>>19822651
I bought fraters new book. He’s great.

I liked it, especially the LSD kid, but I know the guy you’re talking about and he’s next up on my list.

>>19822714

Here you go

>gardner still shilling his books

>>19822428
'Baby Alex'

I remember him making a video on waldun's new book so he's still about

>>19822652
Thanks anon

>>19822713
Because that’s actually what it is? I mean just look at the description here. It actually is just Pokemon

>>19822786
I have a feeling those are shill reviews. Probably by F Gardner wanna-be’s. Almost all of the ratings Call of the Crocodile has seem to be good. The negative ones don’t seem to say anything about the plot so that’s a sign they didn’t read it. But the good ones seem to talk about the plot.

>>19822969
Duh. There’s this crab in a bucket mentality here. Gardner is the biggest writer from 4chan so some retards wanna try to dethrone him.

>>19822969
So all the positive reviewers have given fewer than 5 reviews in total. Given how niche this book/author is, it's a given that all the positive reviewers are fake accounts made to shill this book.
Gardner, you're pathetic, you put so little efforts in your book and even less in the fake accounts you created on goodreads.

>>19822969
>>19822980
holy fuck shit, Gardner on suicide watch

someone needs to make a complete chart with every /lit/ novel arranged in the appropriate category, from 'genuinely good' to 'schizo-tier' to 'just some idiot running a grift'
does anyone have photoshop?

Your saying every single one of these is Gardner? Any retard can see that’s not possible lmfao. It’s a two year old book that has been advertised on 4chan for forever.

retard, the title isn't even in french

>>19822373
Fuck off Gardner.
>>19822569
Low quality zoomer video but you can watch it on 2x and have all your questions answered.

&amp magazine obviously

Call of the Crocodile sounds amazing.

cringe.

>>19823500
Cringe is part of Gardner’s appeal at this point. He’s the Shadman of literature.

>edgelord
>shitty art
>retarded

Ok, I fell for the meme and believed it actually had a good twist.

The writing was retarded and the first twist was ok, the one with the kids burning in the treehouse was excellent but then the last chapters with Dracula's castle was the most retarded shit I've read in a while. What the fuck was the author thinking.

>>19823994
Try Call of the Arcade next if you thought that one was jarring Kek.

>>19824140
Jigoku is better

It's easy to spot Gardner because he types on 4chan and discord exactly how he writes his """"novels""""

Misplaced commas and all

>>19824140
>>19824205
Haven’t read those but I read Ouroboros. I’m surprised that isn’t memed because of the batshit conspiracies Gardner gets into in that one.

Just wanted to share that I read this thread last night, and I had a dream that I starred in a Call of the Crocodile musical stage play. [Spoiler]I'm not gay, I swear

gardnerposting is not funny

Call of the Crocodile

>>19822186
Best book I've read this year.

>>19825985
I doubt you can pistol whip anybody with a Glock, even less so with an extended mag. /k/ would laugh at Ma for being noguns.

My book written by me is the best.

Did that book that said nigger a lot ever get anywhere?

>>19826124
Heh

>>19822186
This book contains the best of 4chan literature so far, but it is surrounded by an insane amount of tedious bloat.
