Dangerous lack of self awareness

Revisado: 12-15-24

This book provides some valuable insights into Judaism, but its approach to the topic of antisemitism is deeply flawed. Much of the discussion devolves into what feels like a philosophical echo chamber, with two individuals fixated on condemning European whites as the root of all societal ills. Ironically, while the book emphasizes the dangers of hateful rhetoric, it engages in its own form of antagonism, which undermines its message. This lack of self-awareness is particularly troubling given the historical consequences of such attitudes toward Jews. Preaching hate as a response to hate is ultimately a self-defeating strategy that fosters division rather than promoting peace and understanding. Although there are moments of genuine insight, the book’s lack of nuance and balance detracts from its ability to inspire unity or foster meaningful dialogue.

Love it!!

Revisado: 10-17-24

Thoroughly enjoyed. Drew me in and held me. Couldn’t have asked for more. Didn’t want it to end. Will be purchasing the hardcover… one for myself and one for a gift.

Held my attention

Revisado: 06-06-24

As something of a family black sheep myself, the sentiment and character of the book was relatable. I wouldn’t describe the book as frightening but, more like painful at times. Nonetheless, it was worth the listen.

King’s back!!

Revisado: 06-02-24

For the most part, King has always been my favorite author. But, after Holly, I was sort of saddened, and a little concerned that I’d lost that loving feeling… because a favorite author is like a close and dear friend… in a way. But… You Like it Darker, has totally redeemed my faith in him. It’s a great read!! Loved it!!

Horrible

Revisado: 05-01-24

What a disappointment. Virtue signaling on steroids. On and on and on. The author got so lost in themselves that it became obvious they only wanted to beat the reader over the head ad nauseam.

A bit overdone

Revisado: 02-06-24

Not a horrible listen, but not great either. The narrator was too dramatic for my taste. Gave the entire listen a silly and ridiculous feel.

Enjoyable and easy listening

Revisado: 01-19-24

Enjoyable. Nothing terribly scary… but kept my attention without much effort. An easy listen. I’d consider exploring more from the author.

Intriguing

Loved this. At times a bit gory… but all’s well that ends well. Will definitely look for more from the author.

Loved it! All of it! I will definitely be on the lookout for more from Simone St. James. The narration too, was top notch.

Ruined Holly

Revisado: 09-16-23

King ruined Holly, and then the narrator finished her off. A 50 something, chain smoking, virtue signaling hypocrite who when all was said and done proved to be no more likable than her Covid stricken dead mother.
The narrator was awful, performing the character of Holly as if she was a daffy immature 20 year old. Not sure what’s happened to King, but this once upon a time fan of his writing is sorely disappointed.
