This Book Loves You

Product Information

But anyway, I just want to say that I am always a bro even though I was really disappointed with this book. I still watch Pewdiepie's videos and I still enjoy all of his character names and phrases. I wish this book could have been better. I think it is supposed to be charmingly ironic? Possibly its a very deep social commentary that I'm just not psychologically advanced enough to comprehend. There's also a chance that this dipshit yelled a bunch of random words at his publicity team, took some shitty photos of himself that an even stupider moron went at it like an art school drop out expressing his angst through MS Paint then stapled it all together and threw it at his agent while drooling out "LOOK!!!! ME MAKE BOOOOOOKKKKK!!!!" But hey what do I know? Pewdiepies bok! | Adlibris". 2016-09-02. Archived from the original on 2016-09-02 .

So he makes this book and we put it on the library shelf or our kids buy it in the bookstores and yeah maybe it doesn't do any real harm but it does cut just a little more innocence and trust in the world away. It nibbles at their confidence in themselves, in their ability to trust their own judgment, to feel inspiration or hope or happiness from something they've seen or read. Because some asshole on the internet told them its dumb to think that.

Also and wwwwaaayyyyyyy more problematic? ALL this book is saying, its ENTIRE message is if you have some quote you admire or that makes you feel good you're an asshole who should go kill themselves.

There's a short introduction in which he explains how he "never truly understood the purpose of quotes" and decided to fill a book with his "pearls of wisdom" for a laugh. And that's exactly what it is: a picture book full of, mostly ironic, phrases, which make fun of those usual graphics of so-called inspirational quotes. Imagine what a chilled-out and wonderful human being people would think you were if you lived by the simple principle: 'You can never fail if you never try.' Your wasted life would be an inspiration to others. Think of all the pointless, unhappy striving you could simply give up. Throw away that guitar! Give up on your dreams! Embrace your astounding mediocrity. Second even if this is supposed to be skewering some nonexistent world wide social obsession it doesn't do that. I mean wouldn't it make sense to at least make fun of ACTUAL quotes? It wouldn't be less stupid as a concept or more relevant but it might at least makes some sort of sense! All shit for brains here does is throw out sentences he thinks sort of sound like inspirational things people might say then he throws a bizarre non sequitur in at the end because that's so funny and clever. Then he slaps on a photo of himself dressed as a frankly offensive caricature of the Dalai Lama or in something that approximates drag if you were both blind and abjectly stupid and calls it a day.PewDiePie is getting a reality series on YouTube's new ad-free subscription service".

There's nothing wrong with liking inspirational quotes or admiring quotes from famous or memorable works. The idea that you're a moron because you like to think of a particular passage from a book or a film and you want to share that is the kind of thing someone who doesn't read books or watch films writes an entire book about to make himself feel edgy and generate a shit ton of revenue from his fans just because his name is on it. PewDiePie (2015). Dieses Buch liebt dich (in German). Translated by Portner, Mara (2ed.). Rowohlt Taschenbuch Verlag. ISBN 9783499631559. I recommend this to bros who watch Pewdiepie, maybe I don't have a good sense of humor. Maybe that's why I didn't laugh at things that were supposed to be funny. Don't be something you're not. Unless you can be a fabulous unicorn. Always be a fabulous unicorn.” Because this guy doesn't care. He doesn't care about how influential he is, how long is reach is, how many people listen to what he says and take it seriously. So he does things like without a second thought except for how much money it will make or how many more viewers it will give him. And we let him do it.

DISCLAIMER: I feel like a blasphemer for writing this review because Pewdiepie has SO many dedicated fans, myself included, and I worry that I'll get blasted for this. But I just have to.I mean no disrespect whatsoever to the readers that enjoyed this book- I'm glad that you did. IT'S JUST AN OPINION pleasedon'thurtme. Without winter you can't fully appreciate the beauty of summer! Without you, I can appreciate so many things. Okay right so this book happened and a formerly reputable publisher put it out into the world and should just be so very ashamed of themselves. I was THRILLED to discover that this oxygen wasting bastard's primary demographic is 13 to 17 year old boys because they don't have nearly enough misogynistic, hate filled, self esteem skewering "entertainment" directed at them already.
