    I really enjoy these book reviews. It might sounds contradictory, but having someone like Felix explaining the books with simplicity and his own opinions instead of someone who studied literature or history or whatever makes it so much better to me. It feels like it's a discussion with a friend more than a class with a teacher. I really like that

I just want to thank you for helping me get into reading again and being a great influence to me and anyone else who realised the joy of reading through your channel.

      Agreed, it makes a difference when he's talking about something he loves doing. Pewds needs more hobbies so he can make more original content. His best quality is his personality, people will watch him do anything because he's so likable and funny, he doesn't need to review memes all day he just starts to look like he's dying inside :'D Marzia makesnloads of different kinds of videos he should join her more. Or like compete for a while or something. Pew News and Cooking with Pewdiepie are great fun though.

    • @hullgatt
      @hullgatt Před 6 lety +75

      By practicing it and exposing yourself to the language. It's a process and doesn't happen over night. The same thing goes for Marzia, who had an Italian accent.
      Btw, he has been to America. He even vlogged it.

    • @hullgatt
      @hullgatt Před 6 lety +25

      I'm pretty confident in saying that he's able to use a brittish accent. However, american accent would propably feel more comfortable for him as it's very common in Sweden even though schools wants us to speak brittish. Besides it being more common in general and feeling more natural for Swedes, wouldn't you agree that it'd be weird for him to start speaking brittish all of a sudden? But even so, to grow an accent, you need to actively practice it. It might be that he and Marzia use american pronounciation as that's how they are used to each other speaking, so it might even feel weird for them too. Atleast, that's how I would feel if I were him.

    I love how Felix just does what he likes on CZcams. He's already explained the importance of this and why he does this in previous videos (forced happiness), but I'd just really like to underline it. Even if you find his book reviews boring, you can perhaps comfort yourself in the fact that since he's not afraid to show us this side of him, then perhaps he also has a certain amount of passion behind the comedy he does (meme review etc.). Realness breeds realness, and realness breeds a sincere form of likability, the reason I've stayed subscribed to him. Let's be Honest

    Holy shit, bro. I found this video by chance and my mind is totally blown by the fact that you love Yukio Mishima's writing. It's so rare to find other fans, it's just weird and delightful that you are one as well. This made my day! n_n
    I enjoyed the tetralogy as a whole, but the The Temple of Dawn is my absolute favorite of the series and definitely in my top five of all books I've ever read. I'm a woman from Latin America and I first read The Temple of Dawn as a teenager. Still, somehow I could relate to Honda in that book a lot more than I could relate to a lot of the people around me at the time, lol. I like how flawed and how interesting the characters are, and how humane. You articulated it very well; there is something about Mishima's writing that is so very enjoyable. Some passages are just so amazing that you almost feel sad turning the page. The descriptions are mind-blowing and really stick with you for how vivid they are; like at one point Honda describes an old woman he encounters like coming upon a perfectly functioning pocket-watch ticking away in a dead man's pocket--cause she's so frail and old but mentally sharp AF. I mean, damn. Also the topics of reincarnation, mortality and morality and the way Mishima explores these is incredibly fascinating to me. It's like nutrition for the mind and spirit. Another Japanese writer who is also insanely talented (although very different stylistically) is of course Murakami, whom you've probably heard of or read - (I'd recommend "Tokyo Blues (Norwegian Wood)" or "1Q84" as a starting point for anyone interested). A lesser known writer who is also amazing is Banana Yoshimoto, btw.
    And on the off chance that you ever see this comment, Felix: thank you so much for the content you make. I've been following you on and off for a few years but I didn't subscribe until recently (better late than never, right??). I love to laugh and I really enjoy your sense of humor; not just for the silliness (which I love) but also because of the sharp insight and sincerity underlying your commentary. Mostly I like that hearing you talking about stuff, jokingly or seriously, makes people feel less alone. It's true for me and I know it's true for a lot of your viewers. Also thank you for your review of The Last Jedi. Random, I know, but that was the thing that finally got me to subscribe. XD

    Honestly Pewds is just the king of explaining his opinion and pondering interesting thoughts without losing the audience. I love how he always assumes you have no knowledge of the book and so gives a background because now when I read these books I can appreciate them more. It’s like he conveys his whole reading process for each book rather than just summarising what he thought at the end. Normally I only make sarcastic, joking comments on his videos but I genuinely love these videos so much and hope others appreciate it too. ❤️

    You should read The Sailor Who Fell From Grace by Yukio Mishima. It has that theme of the bushido code and this idea of youth and that death is the ultimate honour. When I first read it, it was so bizarre to me. The way of thinking is so different from western thinking and yet it’s so fascinating.

      Pewdiepie seems to be calm and talking a lot about lifes purpose. I think he's having existential crisis!

      It's good that he's like that, that kind of the reaction of "modest people" in general
      It avoids triggering theeasily triggerable, and makes the differences between opinions and facts in the video clearer

      Vovo Detna You're always a nine year old if you watch PewDiePie, it's simply a fact about life.
      Also, it's nice that Felix is using his channel to spread the idea of reading and how much wonders it can do. I myself am a gamer and computer nerd at heart, but I absolutely love to read as well. Although, I feel like calling him the "Oprah of CZcams" would be an insult because Felix isn't nearly as manipulative or politically biased as she is.

    I love this format! Motivating people - especially 9 year olds - to read books is such a great thing to do!
    I would like to recommend two books to you:
    1. *Dark Matter* by _Blake Crouch_ : It's a very interesting an thrilling story and it's so much fun to read! Two out of many themes in this book are "Are you happy with your life?" and infinity. I don't know if that's a real term but it's often declared as quantum fiction. Definitely one of my favourites.
    2. *The Power of Now* by _Eckhart Tolle_ : Especially after you read that book about Buddhism in which an important theme is enlightenment I can't recommend it enough. It's not a story, it's more of a philosophical book and really can change the way you look at life.
