Milk and Vine: Inspirational Quotes From Classic Vines Reviews

  talentless white people banking off the success of authors of color and internet creators?

  None of the original creators were credited in this book. It is blatant plagiarism. Support the real viners and not this 'book'.

  I knew that all those hours I wasted watching funny vine compilations* were not for naught. I mean, for better or for worse, words will never suffice how amazed I am that this is an actual book I read as a “tribute to the late and great Vine app.”
  
  Parodying the popular poetry book
  Milk and Honey, Milk and Vine beautifully portrays the best vines of all time in this modern poetic format. Milk and Vine is truly a delight for the sensations, bringing back the riveting quotes we all laughed at together as a united internet community.
  
  There's no standard way to review this since this isn't your conventional poetry collection... But I'll try to stick to my normal format and insert a couple of my favorite pieces:
  
  
  
  I wanted to watch the film Spider-man: Homecoming on a Wednesday solely because of this vine.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  I was low-key ecstatic to find vines I hadn't yet known about.
  
  Also, I'm taking the promise at the end of the book dead serious: “Be on the lookout for our next book, Milk and Tweets, coming very soon!”

  Creo que como sociedad no podíamos llegar más alto.
  
  Hacer un poemario superventas que recoge más de 60 vines famosos me parece pasarse la vida como millennial, de verdad. Convertir en poesía el famoso 'Ms. Keisha, Ms. Keisha, Oh my fuckin god she fuckin dead' me parece -cuanto menos- icónico.
  
  En fin, lo recomiendo si os gustan los vines tanto cómo a mí. Y a mí me gustan mucho.

  Update no.2:
  
  Here's a video compilaton of all the vines that these two dents stole their material from.
  
  Update:
  
  Here's a video of Drew Gooden crediting some of the viners and sources these two dents got their material from.
  
  This book was number one on Amazon for a while (maybe it still is, I'm too lazy to check), it's why I got it in the first place. I didn't pick it up until last night, and after reading it, I regret my decision to get it.
  The main idea behind this book was to parody Rupy Kaur (why?), but to feature silly quotes and illustrations. There's nothing silly or entertaining about it. And I had to look into it.
  This is a compilation of stolen content without permission by the viners who are quoted, and without any credit given to them. And sure, that might not be illegal (or so the authors claim), but it's highly unethical, and just a dick move in my opinion. The illustrations aren't silly either, they're just shitty. These two geniuses could've at least tried to create something, but that was too much work. 1 star is too much, but I can't do lower than that.
  Goodreads, please give us negative ratings for this type of situations.

  Will this count toward my Goodreads challenge, considering I read it in five minutes on my lunch break?

  i wonder what went through the "author's" brain five years ago and led him to think that this was a good idea 😐

  Great parody of Milk and Honey, good for anyone missing the golden age of Vine, horrible for those who actually made the content. None of those who made the vines the poets directly copied scrips from is credited; ambiguous if they were asked to use creative content before the book was published.

  The stars are only for the vines. At least give credit to the Viners eesh.

  i love vine. but these “authors” stole these vines and didn’t give any credit to the vines. when they were called out on their stolen content they made a weak excuse. 0/5

  Don't exploit WOC Rupi Kaur's amazing work. Anyone's work for that matter.
  
  First time I've rated a book I haven't read, but if I can get this much from the cover? I know enough.
  
  No reason to waste time.

  why it takes TWO people to simply write down humorous things that SOMEONE ELSE came up with I'll never understand
  
  1 star for your plagiarized book. give credit where it's due, you cowards.

  This is hilarious, yes it doesn't give credit to the original Vines, but I could still hear the Vines in my head as I was reading them and it made me remember some of the funniest Vines that I'd ever seen

  I mean... this is just profiting off of making fun of an author and her poetry while drawing scribbles underneath other creators' vines.

  won't even bother putting this on my gr "poetry" shelf lol. this book is basically just stolen quotes from vines written in lowercase and poorly drawn pictures - they didn't even make the effort in restructuring the quotes to make them seem more like poetry.

  very funny!
  
  it wasn’t shit at all, in my opinion. i probably think that because i love the good ol’ vines, but reading this book was actually very pleasant so it made its job, i guess.
  i was expecting to hate it because i read some negative reviews saying that it didn’t credit the viners and had some orthographical mistakes, but it certainly got corrected or something because the copy i just bought do contain the credits and no mistakes, not that i noticed. i would have noticed.
  also, some people thought it was disrespectful to rupi kaur, but, while reading, it didn’t look like it at all. they basically used her style to make a written vine tribute. it didn’t make fun of her or her work in any way.
  in conclusion, i felt like an old lady watching some special transmission in national broadcasting television about some old show the kids don’t know about and laughing through my tears.
