Mitch’s comments from the Pewdiepie Book Review 2025 group.

Obviously take it with a grain of salt - but I asked ChatGPT which translated version is generally recommended. It resulted in an answer which I think actually seems pretty balanced in that you still have to sort of determine that for yourself to a large extent.

I don't think Pewdiepie gave a clear indication on which version to use so personally I'm going to give that the benefit of the doubt and just assume he intentionally left the version unspecified.

Lastly - I wouldn't worry too too much about getting the same version as everyone else because each of us potentially having different versions could lead to some fantastic discussion, since it can and probably will result in various points of view from which to converse from, which is to be embraced in a discussion forum like this.

So,

The answer chatgpt returned:
