Reply to comment by Gambenis in Joining the “The Song of Achilles” Appreciation Club by my-nips-hurt

You’re welcome to find a post about how awful it is. I’m here to share sentiment with those who enjoyed it. There are plenty of hate posts, or you can make your own. No need to poop on someone else’s party just because you have a different opinion.

I can’t educate a random Reddit user on taste. But it might be helpful for you to know that this book is terrible so that you might expand your reading horizons.

You can at least put in the bare minimum effort and explain why you think it is terrible instead of being a condescending prick and suggesting they simply don’t have taste.

Ok. Poor characterization. Weak prose. Reads like twilight fanfic with Greek mythos backdrop. Happy?

Would you like me to link you some posts that dislike the book? I think you’ll enjoy it there more than a post that enjoys the book. Whether it’s bah humbug-ers fleshed out critiques, I’m sure there’s a place you can enjoy being a miser.

Thanks for saying this. I appreciate it. I try to stay fairly nice, but this is what I really wanted to say 🥲

I’ve commented several times when other people critiqued and even agreed with them. I literally put in my post that this was useful to help me start reading again. It really just sounds like you want to complain and criticize someone else’s joys and feel holier than thou. There are lots of posts on this subreddit and in Reddit for that.
