The sheer amount of charity this reviewer shows John Boyne by presuming this stuff is an artistic decision to "destabilize" his setting Enough charity to end world hunger tbhhttps://twitter.com/reality_ensues/status/1290111914069000193 …

Arthur Chu added,
I was actually kinda inclined to read it charitably too, cause it's such a ludicrous mistake, but nope, Boyne's recent tweets indicate that he genuinely thought that octorock eyes make good dye from his 5 seconds of research.
He absolutely did not expect anyone to catch that he took that line from Taken and he may not have even been aware he did it It's probably literally because he was just picturing the guy as Liam Neeson in his head and wrote what felt natural
I'd feel sorry for him (possibly) accidentally lifting something from Taken if he hadn't been a shit himself. It's really easy to pick something up and completely lose track of where it came from.
If that were the only thing he did it wouldn't be a big deal but that review is HILARIOUS "Is he cleverly making the artistic decision to set his book in a world that looks like it was haphazardly invented by someone who knows nothing of history"
It turns out if you fuck up consistently enough suddenly people start thinking you're a very clever satirist making fun of society's ignorance
"You see people are generally ignorant but no real person would be THIS ignorant, this is the literary device known as ironic hyperbole"
