The Passenger (and Stella Maris) is really a sort of culmination of McCarthy's whole oeuvre, but even as a McCarthy superfan who loves most of his work, I wholeheartedly believe The Passenger is his worst. So I wouldn't feel too bad.

great that u keep doing book reviews. 1 small critique with scripted stuff. i think u need to change your setup slightly bcs when u read u look too much to the side. it feels kinda weird and less engaging than when u go from the top of your head and look into camera. i am not sure if there is an easy fix to your setup or not just wanted to let u know. otherwise i think the format is great bcs it helps with picking up some book recomendations and hopefully doesnt hurt your channel.

Hey Daniel. I normally don't really comment, but I just wanted to say I'm so happy you chose for this format. I don't really have an opinion on the script vs. non-script yet, but I love that you're not stepping away from book reviews. Books I read in Month X always inspires me in what to read next. Keep them up!

I actually really like bulk reviews like this because I’m someone who doesn’t really click on singular reviews for things I haven’t read/watched unless I am ACTIVELY questioning if they’re worth reading/watching. But with this I can get relatively concise reviews for a bunch of things and will be more likely to find new stuff or get them on my radar.

Also, I enjoy when you show off the cover art/edition that you are holding or have read. Lastly, please keep adding in a classic book review. Meme pick or not, I love that you reviewed 1984. Thank you for continuing to make great content.

Sorry I’ve been MIA my husband passed away last week.. hoping to get back on watching ur channel.. take care 😢

Really great video. I'm glad that book reviews aren't going away. One piece of criticism I could give is that while it sounded natural, seeing you look off to the side to read from the script was a bit odd. It just seems more natural to have you looking into the camera while speaking.

Blame!, being so dialogue-less, is a story that thrives on discussion in my opinion. You can formulate your own story by filling in the missing details on your own, and after doing that you can go online and see how others interpret and understand it .Its the sort of discussion/ searching blogs online for a book like i've never had for a book this "short" online. Hours upon hours of content in videos and threads online showcasing different experiences that people have had with it really exited me to knowing what other theory/view someone could came at it with. I love seeing that you're interested in it just like so many others, and hope you enjoy the discussions online just as much as I did if you ever decide to look them up ^^ Also, Pronunciation for Nihei would be [Knee-hey] to correct you on that.

The Green Bone Saga is one you probably heard off by now. I discovered them thanks to Daniel and they're literally some of the greatest books I've read in the past decade. For real, couldn't recommend them more. I just finished The Nevernight Chronicles and the worldbuilding and character development is great as well, would definitely recommend.

hello daniel! Although I do enjoy the polished and scripted reviews, I much prefer when you make things up on the spot in a conversational way. The eye contact is sorely missed. Also, the idea for monthly reviews is, in my opinion, very neat! Hope you keep doing the good work. Love from India.

Happy you sticking to your roots on still wanting to do book reviews. Even if you don;t do it every month, the fact that you know you want to keep doing it makes me happy :)

I mostly subscribed to this channel for book review content so I love that you are trying to keep that alive on the channel in some form and I think this is a great way to do it

“Where my soul resides” lol. But gives me a cool video idea for you: if you had to choose 7 of your possessions as your 7 horcruxes to house your soul (let’s forget the dark arts / murder aspect for now) which would you choose? Basically your 7 most prized possessions that also tell a lot about you

Daniel, please keep these types of videos going - even if they don't do well. The book content is why I subscribed to you!

Just wanted to say I appreciate you Daniel! That's all.

Wow, I'm glad about finding a way to keep book reviews. It's kind of sucked being in a sort of minority where the videos I'm most drawn to are generally the ones most likely to have Daniel fuming that "no one" watched them.

Lets GO! I've missed your recommendations. You've introduced me to some of my favorite stories of all time and your opinion on books is always welcome and thought provoking. Love this monthly reading vlog wrap idea to keep book reviews on the channel

I had missed book reviews on this channel, really glad to see this new series!

It's always nice to watch your book reviews. It feels nostalgic.

I like this format. I would have only listened to one or two of those reviews individually, but I'm glad I heard all of them packaged like this...

Yes! Please keep talking about books. I love the idea of talking about multiple books in this format instead of singular book reviews. It gives viewers more incentive to click on the video because maybe you read a book I did. If it's a singular book review of a book I didn't read, I will never watch it(sorry). But I will watch this video because maybe you'll touch upon a book I liked. It makes more sense this way to recap the books you enjoyed in one video than have multiple underperforming videos. I love the new format and hope everyone else enjoys it as well. I just finished the Mistborn trilogy, The Way of Kings and started Words of Radiance this month. It's been a pretty good month of reading. Great video as always and keep having a positive impact on the community! Have a wonderful day!

My copy of blame just arrived in the mail, I'm so excited to start reading it!

After your done with Blame and if your interested in anything more from that story I recommend ‘Noise’ it takes place in the same universe

Good I'm glad you are keeping the reviews alive. This is a good format

That's a fair point about the Eisenhorn trilogy. Warhammer books suffer from what's referred to as "bolter porn" by the community, basically they exists to sell miniatures for the tabletop game and therefore must have a lot of actions reflecting the wargame. There are however a handful of books managing to go beyond this bombastic action pace, but they're generally not the best for a newcomer to the universe since they rely on good knowledge of the lore most of the time. The Lords of Silence, The Reverie, the Infinite and the Divine, or the Vaults of Terra series are great reads amongst other. I do hope you try other books.

Absolutely love your book reviews. They are what brought me to your channel a couple years ago and introduced me to Booktube. Your review of Wizard's First Rule crushed my heart 😅but opened up a whole new world of reading for me and I couldn't be more thankful.

I'm really happy to see you doing this because I really like your book reviews, and I've missed them a lot.

Really glad to see youre trying to preserve book reviews despite lower ratings in the algorithm, your book reviews are what got me into this channel and as much as I loved your Berserk vids Ive been lamenting how rare book reviews have gotten. May this comment boost the algorithm.

Sadly, you were absolutely right about Eisenhorn. Warhammer books are a triumph of style above substance, sub products that may be enjoyed by fans, but rarely can compete in quality terms with books outside their trademark. But. What if I tell you that there ARE Warhammer books that can stand by their own? Would you be interested in read...Requiem Infernal, by Peter Feheravari?

If you still want to do a 40k video I recommend the gaunts ghosts novels, starting with First & Only! If you wanna check out a fantasy iteration then the Gotrek and Felix novels are some of my favourites! The second skavenslayer is one of my absolute favourite fantasy books of all time.

As someone who is constantly on the lookout for interesting books to read, these book reviews are amazing for those who wish to discover something new to read. Very happy that you will continue doing them even if they don't perform very well.

I love monthly wrap ups!!!! They’re one of my favorite things to watch. I’m not bothered by scripting in general, but it is a bit distant when you’re reading the script and not making eye contact with the camera. Maybe show some fan art or different editions of the books as a cutaway, so we don’t see your eyes, or maybe use the script as notes and paraphrase instead of being tied to the screen, if that makes sense.

YES!! Finally doing a video on Dandelion Dynasty. I love the series. one of the best. and And has and ending, which, ya know, sometimes keep people waiting in this genre.

Regular viewer of your channel but came to youtube today specifically to look at reviews to help me figure out what to read next. I love seeing batch reviews as it helps me find a new read when I need one without having to mine through a bunch of one-off videos.

Just wanted to put in that I love your book reviews, it’s how I found your channel and why I subscribed years ago!

Definitely keep book reviews! I’ve been away from booktube for a long while and didn’t realize book reviews aren’t the staple anymore. It’s what I’ll come back for the most.

I haven't read too many Warhammer books, but I found books that revolve around a singular character much more interesting especially when other factions in the universe and how they relate to the character. Most of these character novels are one-offs but tell stories that are good examples of who they are in that time period. If I had to recommend any they would be... Ghazghkull Thraka: Prophet of the Waaagh! (Very good depiction of how Orcs work in Warhammer) Alpharius: Head of the Hydra (One of the Primarchs, told from their pov from before the Horus Heresy)

@hlynurmagnusson7245

I agree with recommending Alpharius. Also on that topic you and Daniel should check out Legion by Dan Abnett. That is about the alpha legion and some of their mysterious human operatives taking on events that push them to a decision that will impact the next 10.000 years. I love the fact that the narrative and narrators are very very untrustworthy in a way that fits a legion that is built around lies, espionage and subterfuge. One of my favorite legions and I still don't know where they stand in terms of humanity vs chaos. I personally err for the third way where they set out to balance the scales between all super powered sides with no clear winner ultimately to keep humanity alive in the end. Thank for pointing out Ghazghkull Thraka. I have not yet read it and will put the book on my list now.

Hey Daniel! I definitely don't comment on KZread much, but I wanted to reiterate what a lot of people have already said. I found your channel during the pandemic while working from home and you reawakened a love of reading in me that I forgot I had. Your book reviews and series tier lists really pushed me into wanting to pick up all of the books I'd missed out on during the years I wasn't reading much. I branched out from you to Merphy, to Jay, and beyond. I still love your channel and always try to watch when I see a new video, but the biggest piece I've been missing has been the reviews. They are what got me into your channel in the first place and what continue to help me find awesome books. Because of you I now have three bookshelves basically solely dedicated to a TBR list almost exclusively filled with books I've found through your channel. This is just a really long way for me to say that I love the content you create and I'm so glad you've decided to incorporate your thoughts on what you're reading into the channel again. Thanks for getting me back into reading!

I love this new format, I feel it motivates me to read more, regardless if I end up reading the books you specifically talk about or not. I will say, from someone with years of experience in broadcast and digital media, I feel a teleprompter (you can get ones for your phone for cheap with a wireless remote!) can go a long way to making the script-read feel more natural, rather than looking slightly off camera. I actually love how you wrote and read the reviews though!

I like the Idea of monthly wrap ups. Its a great compromise between still making Reviews and not screwing you in the algortithm

Love that you are doing book reviews again on the channel!!

Really happy with the format. I would say I would love to see the cover as you speak as often I just hear you in earphones and a quick glance at the screen is more informative than trying to read the chapter titles

Big fan of this format! As a viewer, I tend to only watch reviews of books I'm either on the fence about reading, or have just read and want to hear another opinion on. Having multiple books in a review is a nice balance of content on books I'm interested in and an intro to books I may not have ever interacted with if they were their own video. Still love a dedicated book review though, keep up the great work!

I 100% appreciate book reviews remaining a part of your channel. I've always enjoyed your insights and most books you mention get added to my TBR. I appreciate that you're covering a broader range of media as well, since we're all human and do more than just read books, and I've found great joy in my downtime with many of your recommendations. I think a script is fine, especially since you want to hit all of your points covering multiple books in a limited timeframe, which can be difficult.

Hey Daniel, I just wanna throw out there, algorithm be damned. I'm here for your book reviews forever and always. I hope you keep doing them for a long time. Also, your channel got me back into reading for fun after a long time, and has expanded my TBR list by like 1000%.

Yep, Blame! is the re-read material.

Really glad you're looking for ways to keep doing book reviews. I originally found your channel while looking for Age of Madness reviews and while I do enjoy a lot of your other videos , books reviews remain what I look to you for the most. I hope this new format works out.

I love the format of monthly reviews. Highly enjoyed this one as well! In batch reviews I watch reviews of books I'm not particularly interested in and wouldn't have watched as a solo review. Sometimes the reviews change my mind though and the books turn out to be amazing reads. So please keep them coming!

It's a shame traditional book reviews don't do so well for you. It's how I got into a lot of series on your channel. Green Bones Saga, First Law, Cosmere, Book of the Ancestor trilogy, and yes...The Wheel of Time (Currently on my first read through and am on Lord of Chaos). Still, I get the need to adapt and I hope this format works great for you!

I could scarcely believe it when I read the title of the video. I like it. Don't let reviews die! Also, I like the balance between your face and the book cover.

Blame! low key inspired all the liminal horror like the backroom aesthetic we see today (granted with more cyberpunk). While the sketchy nature of some panels could be laziness it also could be adding to the aesthetic of liminality and post-human or a-human architecture

Blame is an experience... just great in its own way.

I love book reviews that are spoiler free and done well which this channel absolutely does. Maybe this scripted version isn't for me as I enjoy the more organic "conversational" way of doing them but I think trying different things and different approaches to this should be applauded. Shows versatility and open to new ideas and ways to reinvent yourself. It's great.

Man I have nostalgia from watching your book reviews in high school. Love that you are finding new ways to incorporate them into your channel. I like the monthly format so we won’t miss books you otherwise would not have reviewed.

I have had Nemesis pre ordered for over a year. Been stoked to read it! Your review of it makes me feel good for it. Also just finished Gentleman Bastard 1 and definitely enjoyed it!

I enjoy this format. But truly I wouldn’t mind watching any format you feel passionate about & works for you 🤷‍♀️🌼

I dont know how much it matters, but your book reviews have been really important in my foray into the Fantasy genre. They have helped me greatly in picking out books that I may enjoy.

Book reviews are why i started watching you and what i continue to watch.

Blame! Good choice, look forward to seeing you trying to make sense of the plot 😅

I love the format! I have to admit, I often skip the reviews of books I'm not that interested in reading (or only watch a few first minutes, to get the general idea), so shorter, condensed ones are great for me. I'm not entirely sold on the scripted video tough. It sounds different, when you read your thought - I don't hate it, but prefered the older version. Maybe a mix is an option?

Daniel's back. I started following because of book reviews. No reason to leave the channel though coz I still loved the other content (fantasy news, ... don't be a bomb, author interviews, the jeopardy one, etc). This is you.

Ah~ Reading Wrap-ups - the most BookTube-est BookTube thing in the world! Welcome aboard, Daniel; and thank you for not giving up on book reviews!🤍

i’m so happy to see this video, i love your book reviews and they’re the type of content that i’ve been missing on your channel lately, as i’m not following the manga reads. i’m also jealous because i wish i read that many books this month! glad to see the reviews in a new format daniel, i know i’m gonna enjoy it!

MORE OF THIS CONTENT! I love all your stuff but I love a good book review. So even if the KZread algorithm doesn’t think so, these type of videos always show up in my feed

Also found you via book reviews. Glad you’re bringing them back.

Book reviews are how I found your channel. I like the detailed 1 book ones but bulk reviews are a nice change as well. I didn't even know Night Angel got another book. Perhaps you can take polls on what books from your bulk reviews stand out the most and do single book reviews about them if you plan to keep doing any. But that's the algorithm. Can't fight it forever. Thank you for the hard work you put in.

Book reviews is why I subscribed! I’m stoked to see this and think it’s a great way to get out some reviews.

Honestly one of my favorite types of videos from you.

Great to hear that you're bringing back book reviews! While I appreciate the scripted format for its ability to convey your points effectively, I also enjoy your off-the-cuff reviews because they feel more natural. I found it a bit jarring to see you reading from a laptop screen, especially since I'm used to your videos being more spontaneous and including last-minute footage. However, I do recognize the benefits of a scripted format. Perhaps a combination of both styles would be the best approach? Thank you for all your hard work!

Hearing you say that I might have a tear in my eye reading the new Night Angel book has me even more hyped for it considering I damn near bawled my eyes out in the conclusion of the third book.

Love the book reviews, I missed them and I glad you still like doing them.

Merphy does this style of giving opinions on her reads weekly and I LOVE those updates. Glad to get something similar.

I do like this scripted review over the none scripted, and if more batch reviews means you're able to do more reviews then I'm all for it. The one slight negative is that as you aren't used to reading a script while filming, it sometimes looks like you are staring into the middle distances rather than talking to us, however, that is something that will become more natural overtime and practices. Overall this a great start to a new format.

I love your reviews, every time I read a book I search for your review. I'm glad you're bringing this back!

kinda love this longer form multi review! sad i’ll have to wait for specific stories but am hyped to see the reviews are back!

Such a nice surprise of a video from you! You often go for well-thought-out and in-depth videos discussing books, tv among other things. But sometimes these more "cozy" videos are exactly what I would love to see!

Hey there! I just watched finished watching, and I have to say, I loved the new format! It's great to see you continuing to review books despite the poor performance of book reviews on your channel. Your honest and detailed reviews of Night Angel Nemesis, Blame, and 1984 were really helpful, and I'm looking forward to the series deep dive on Night Angel Nemesis. I also appreciate your candidness about Warhammer 40K and The Passenger. Keep up the great work, and I'm excited to see more of your monthly reading wrap-ups!

Thank you for the video Daniel Greene. "Already just a few weeks after finishing the three books, suffering from massive brain fog for me." Perception is a different animal for each of us. Different from moment to moment, and from personal version to personal version. A lot of that is our process. But it's also things like baggage, objectives, wiring, etc. Notably, it can be interesting to review and define an individual's perception configuration(s), through comparing things like their processes and takeaways vs. others (including themselves at other times). Calibration. But mileage for such things will vary, as with so many other things.

I love the wrap up, I like the format and am glad that it’s deeper than just reading the title lol. I did find myself preferring the more off the cuff stuff though, likely due to the eye contact.

Just one more person here who appreciates the book reviews. Please never stop doing them.

Absolutely hyped that you’re reading BLAME! Since it’s one of my most favorite Sci-fi series. Hope that you’ll eventually read Nihei’s author works like *Knights of Sidonia* When it comes to Warhammer- yeaaah to much action is simultaneously one of the best and worst aspects of the novels. Hopefully one of the series will really click with you

FINALLY. IVE BEEN WAITING FOR NEW REVIEWS FOR SO LONG

Keep up the book reviews. It is what got me hooked on WoT & Sanderson.

This was a great video. I enjoyed this style of video (PDGDBAB, Bookshelf Roasts and Fantasy News are still my favorites) and it can become a new favorite. It gives me an idea of series I may be interested in reading, or at least expanding into different genres that I wouldn't normally look at.

Nihei is my favorite Manga artist, I'm so glad you picked up Blame! If you wanted something quick, he also has a singoe volume story called Abarra

I believe that for the Eisenhorn Trilogy. Skipping book 2 is a better experience. Did it accidentally, then read book 2 And non of the interesting questions I got from what happened between 1 and 3 were answered in 2

Glad to see you finally got into Blame!, I hope you'll enjoy it.

I really enjoy these batch review, wrap up style videos. Thanks for the great video.

The 40K universe is better than any of the fiction I’ve found written for it. The short stories in the rule books and side material are fascinating. But GW won’t let their characters be dynamic enough for me. Lutein09’s KZread vids are the ideal way to experience it imho.
