“I just found this podcast(I’m a little late to the party) as I’m starting malazan for the first time. I’m about 2/3 way through dead house gates at the moment and absolutely love the podcast. The banter with each other is absolutely hilarious and has me in stitches constantly. Great great...”Read full review »

“This is fun and entertaining enough but, let’s face it, it’s a bunch of twenty-somethings enjoying a whole lot of banter and in-jokes while clearly not actually enjoying or understanding what they’re reading. Don’t expect enlightenment or deeper understanding, but enjoy a few low-brow chuckles.”

“I love reading but I’m not an English major nor do I enjoy picking apart every literary device in books to where it feels like homework - but I do love a hilarious and relatable recap and casual predictions or discussions about clues missed or different interpretations and that’s exactly what I...”Read full review »

The struggles, good times, and friendship that these three had with the books convinced me to push through. Thank you, seriously — these podcast episodes...”Read full review »

“Ten Very Big Books is entertaining and works well as a companion to the book series, especially if you have few, or no, friends to discuss the book with. I can’t say what its like to listen as you read for the first time, but as someone who has read the book, the format of having a host who knows...”Read full review »

“These guys don’t seem like they’re having fun or are even enjoying these books anymore. And while these books are absolutely not without their flaws, it feels like the discussions surrounding the issues that the series tries to cover are rarely constructive. At times, it’s like they’re trying to...”Read full review »

“I am on my own first read-through of the Malayan series. I love to listen to a season after I have read the following book because it gives me chance to make my own opinions and predictions, but also keeps me on the pulse of what is happening. Great dynamic between the hosts.”

“This is helping me revisit the books without having to commit to a reread that would take years but India is a moron who clearly has never read a book for adults and though her perspective as a normie can be refreshing it’s usually annoying, also Pete is an SJW and it gets in the way sometimes of...”Read full review »
