I’ll forgive teenagers a bit tbh, I loved some questionable shit as a kid. Its the adults that bug me, like you can like things that’s fine but if you’re gunna name that as your favorite book ima need you to engage some critical thinking
Not only is it just poorly written garbage, but it’s also racist and misogynistic. It reads like middle school fanfiction where everyone stands up and claps after a shitty come back. Which is a scene that literally happens in the book. The completely weird and random atheist rant that was shoe horned in, the lists on lists of just absolutely random 80s pop culture references, and wade is an absolutely insufferable MC. It’s just….bad. The world is super interesting it’s just unfortunate we’re all stuck with this shit story inside of it. I can’t believe Spielberg read this and was like “excellent. Let’s make an equally terrible movie”
