  • @FacingDeath1

    Very useful. I like the directness of the video and the helpful tips. I understand that a lot of people are looking for particular things in a book and I believe that you hit the proverbial nail on the head--all the taboo subjects need to be brought out. Why? Because that is what people are looking for in a review. Fantastic.

    • @YaashaMoriah

    Half way through a school term and we finally stop doing last term’s stuff and we start the new units. We have 1 week to learn about book reviews (we didn’t get taught anything useful) and now we have to get the assignment done in a week. Isn’t that great. Then I find out I can’t do the book I read for the task because after reading it during quarantine I find out we can’t do sequels. All the school shit is driving me crazy and it doesn’t help that covid made it even worse. Another bad part is I just recently got surgery on my knees and now I have to carry a bag full of books, water, laptop, food while going up to all my classes which are painfully upstairs. It doesn’t help how they still have a phone ban even though it does more harm than good and they can suspend you for wearing the wrong type of socks. Wtf Is going on.

    I really find your video so helpful for me.
    Your voice is crystal clear and your words are to the point.
    The expressions that are coming on your face while explaining the poins believe me these expressions were putting 4 stars in your way of explaing.
    Overall best video. I will really recommend it to everyone who wants to write review foe books and also for movies .

    Have you read "I am Jade Falcon"?
    In 1984 a tabletop game about giant robots fighting started to have a lore. The game is "Battletech a game of armored combat" It was like Dune without worms and with giant robots mounted with heavy weapons. The tabletop game is like chess with math and it is being used by parents to keep their kids sharp in math. But make no mistake. Battletech books are NOT for children as they develop very adult themes.
    I read "I am Jade Falcon" and it is about a skilled woman fighter called Joanna from clan Jade Falcon who pilots one of these robots called mechs, and she was dishonored by a vicious defeat in combat. Clans were the descendats of self exiled warriors who departed the Inner Sphere after the glorious Star League was destroyed by a civil war. They promised 300 years ago that they would return to recover Earth and so they did. These clans had very singular cultures and you can tell.
    How does she deal with social rejection and defeat in her life? She is very frustrated by her situation. This book is like an inner trip inside the psyche of Joanna and not so much about giant robots fighting. It is a good read for people who feel under appreciated and with a failed life. The book describes her fights and struggles to regain her lost honor. Among these warrior clans, honor is the single utmost important thing in their society. Clans fought each other under the stange codes of honor that they have. In this book, the cultural aspects of the Jade Falcon clan are described in detail.
    If you bought this book expectibg many giant robot battles you may get disappointed. This seems more suitable to play the role plaing games that Battletech has to offer.
    If you want to see these giant robots in action you may love to visit "Battletech fan" youtube channel, the video about how to install Mechwarrior 2 demo for PC. It is a cool action packed game from 1995. It contains a mission of Jade Falcon clan defending a firebase in an alien planet.
