Mean Book Club podcast people

Have you started to new season?  The books sounds awful, but wanted to know if anyone else read Surviving The Night. 

[TR]

As thrillers go it wasn’t terrible, but it wasn’t amazing either. I think I gave it a 3 or 3.5 out of 5.

ETA: I know nothing about the podcast.

I’ve never heard of the podcast, but the book was fine. It was better than a couple of his other books, that’s for sure.

Is Clara still the worst? She drove me nuts.

[scribellesam]

I used to listen to this one, but it would drive me so crazy when they would trash a book I liked and then admit only to skimming it or skipping parts of it, or the parts they hated they would actually be wrong about. So now I only listen to episodes for books I also hate so then those things doesn’t bother me.

I love this podcast. I read Survive the Night last week just because I like to follow along with them when I can. I thought the book was bad but a great MBC book choice. I'm reading The Whisper Man right now for the next ep.

Pretty much.  Her voice is particularly grating.


TR, they trash books that have landed on the NYT best seller list that they feel was a mistake or a possible mistake. This season they are doing all books suggested by listeners.


scribellesam, I purposely avoid listening to anything that covers a book I enjoyed. lol

I actually really enjoyed Jana despite her vocal fry. She seemed very kind and held her ground on books that she enjoyed that the others trashed. They still were attacking her for liking The Secret when I last listened and I totally respect her for owning what she likes!

Agreed. I think them being really good friends helps a lot.
