What? We hate that guy. His "reviews" are shallow drivel. It's funny you mention him though, I was just thinking about his channel. Something about it screams uncanny valley. It feels like what would happen if you asked a student taking a lit course for a summary of what the teacher just said. He can reiterate what the book meant to *someone* but I don't think he believes what he's saying or even knows why he's saying it.
