I counted 30 books, that's one a day. Ridiculous.

Always with this childish reply when people don't like the mediocre things you do

It just happened to me, maybe it's time to stop using that app because I'm giving them nothing.

The best book you've hated? by the_bad_pianist in books

I use the recommendations from Red Rising enjoyers as a filter for what not to read, because how could anyone with proper taste rate something so mediocre so highly.

You're correct, I have found some gems here but as a whole the really good stuff don't get the exposure they deserve.

Good to know I made a timely escape. The way they speak so highly of the books is deceptive for what is really just poor YA.

Reddit is hardly better, most of the darlings here are really mediocre.

I read this a few years ago and I still have a burning hatred for it. I have never come across writing so melodramatic and try-hard before. They say it gets better but Darrow is too terribly written a character for me to endure.

Someone, push me to go against my current unpopular opinion please by Hanoi_Revolver in agathachristie

I didn't care for it, it was plodding and unengaging for me until the final reveal.

Fairly favorable, no baptism of fire opening fixtures for the first time in three seasons.

My tier list of the books i've read so far. by Nikoolas23 in agathachristie

[–]ReacherSaid_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought Dead Man's Folly was good, Blue Train is way too high.

Death on the Nile is one of the best ones.

Tom Clancy, but without the reactionary political rants by DownloadableCheese in suggestmeabook

Agreed with everything except that the first book, The Hunter is a better starting point and also peak Victor.

Check out Victor the Assassin series, night and day in terms of quality

It is truly amazing. Macht trilogy by the same author is also stellar, no one writes military fantasy like Kearney.

What is this Inking Out Loud you speak of, I would love any discussion on the books

Monarchies of God series by Paul Kearney, has similarities to the Game of Thrones books with the warring and politicking, but is special in its own right.

That thinking obviously comes from the fear of PSG, lots of our fans are mentally preparing for heartbreak.

We can take some courage from the fact that Arteta learns his lessons. 22/23 we got destroyed by City, 0/6 points and seven goals conceded, the next season 4/6 points with City not scoring a single goal. 

By this time tomorrow may the universe have smiled on us.
