Hey, BookTube, it's Sylwia. I am desperately
trying to catch up on books that I'm
late in reviewing. I have been using this
little guide where I put my little
questions- I dunno if you can see it but I
have all my questions and my answers so
that I remember books I read several
weeks ago that are way in the back of my
mind now. So I finally read Eragon by
Christopher Paolini. This was my oldest
added to Goodreads book. I've been so
excited to read it since January 2012, okay?
So, five years. At least five years I've
been dying to read this book. Did it have
adequate representation? I don't think it
did anything well, I'll be honest with
you. I like Saephira and Arya but this isn't
the best. I think I gave this one star.
Did it perpetuate healthy ideals? I didn't
pick up on anything problematic,
according to my notes, but I'm surprised
that I wrote that because I don't feel
like women were portrayed well. Did it
teach me something or make me think? No.
What was the writing style like? Boring.
Very wordy and dense it took a lot of
text to describe not a lot of stuff. And
I did read it on audio. A lot of people
say that it's better on audio. It wasn't.
The audio just made it easier to skim
because I just put the audiobook on and
I went into a trance. I can barely even
say I read this. It was so boring that I
don't remember anything. Are the
characters now my all-time favorites?
Absolutely not.
I liked Brom when the movie came out
back in the day but he did nothing for
me here.
I liked Saphira and Arya because ... you
know. You know why I liked them. Was the
plot cleverly-written? A big fat no to
this. This is not something I picked up
on on my own but I'm going to link you
to a very clever video or put it up in
the card. This is Star Wars. This is to a
T Star Wars. So, if you really like Star
Wars and found yourself ever thinking
"Star Wars would have been better if it
was in medieval times with dragons",
you'll love Eragon, because this is
literally Star Wars. Like, every detail.
Once I got to page 300, I skimmed it. It
was extremely boring and I'm so glad to
have this over with.
Then I DNF'd The Bone Season. I read a
significant portion of this. I want to
say definitely over a hundred pages. I
buddy read this with Melbourne on my
Mind and we both hated it.
Did it have
adequate representation? I feel like if
you're Irish, you might like this, because
it talks about being Irish a lot. Did it
perpetuate healthy
ideals? No. In two ways. It has the
master/slave romance and it has the
mentor/mentee romance. Did it teach me
something or make me think? No. Even
though it was extremely confusing. What
was the writing style like? There is a
tremendous amount of telling. The entire
beginning was, like, info-dump galore. We
get answers to questions just when we
figured it out ourselves
or just when we don't care about the
question anymore. And it's written in
just a completely bizarre way. If you've
been a reader your whole life and you're
bored out of your mind and you just want
to read something weird, you might like
this, but I'm a new reader. This was just
unnecessarily bizarre to me. I think it
was un-skillfully bizarre. Are the
characters now my all-time favorites?
Absolutely not.
Was the plot cleverly-written? It's
different and weird but it's boring and
unengaging. And it doesn't know what genre it wants to be so it's like every
genre. Did I enjoy reading it? I
appreciated the audiobook narrator's
style. I would like to read more by that
narrator. But I hated reading it. I just
hated the it from page one. Good riddance.
Lastly, I did what everyone has done in
these last two months, I read The Hate
U Give by Angie Thomas. And I'm going to
say everything that everyone has already
said and I'm going to say it very quickly.
Did it have adequate representation?
Yes it did, that's kind of a point of
this book. It represents race, gangs, non
nuclear families, addiction, poverty, low
socioeconomic class, and why low
socio-economic classes exist. So A+. 5
out of 5 stars. Perfect book is perfect.
Does it perpetuate healthy ideals?
According to my notes I said that the
parenting is like A+ parenting so
for any of you writing any research
papers on parenting, I know a lot of you
look for that kind of stuff in YA,
that's perfect here. I put down that
relationships are handled well. I think I
really liked the mom and dad and the way
they interact. Did I ship them? Maybe I
did. And I wrote in my notes that it
shows validation and it I guess it talks
about validation and why validation is
important and it also validates the
reader. Did it teach me something or make
me think? Even though I still gave this
five stars, it did not teach me anything
I didn't already know. This is
beginner stuff. I'm way past that. This is
level one on race and everybody needs to
read it so that we can get to level two.
What was the writing style like? It took
me three attempts to read this. The
beginning didn't do it for me. I found it
a bit unengaging, a bit! A tiny bit. Still,
five out of five stars. Are the
characters now my all-time favorites? I
don't think they'll last the test of
time for me but according to my notes I
really loved the parents and the uncle.
Was the plot cleverly-written? I wouldn't
say it's clever.
It's very intentional. The message is
important and it was delivered very well.
Did I enjoy reading it? After the first
hundred and fifty pages,
I felt actual emotional pleasure reading
it. I don't know why but the first 150
pages were a little slow for me. I did
not like the audiobook narrator. I think
that if you're someone who can read
audiobook or physical book, I would
recommend the physical book instead. I
think your own voice would be more
enjoyable than the audiobook narrator I
think she made everything a little cuter
than it had to be? She made it sound a
little younger and a little less true to
life. I didn't like her. I didn't think
they had the appropriate narrator for
this. Alright! Three more books down!
