12 Entertaining One Star Book Reviews
This week’s post is dedicated to more amusing one star book reviews. I have previously devoted two posts to the subject. I found the following reviews entertaining, and I hope you will too.
Ulysses by James Joyce – ‘This is a tough book to read unless you understand several languages and are on LSD.’
The Bible – ‘Author is erratic in his writing, the plot goes nowhere, the characters are clearly plagiarised from other books of its genre, it is gory and certainly not recommended for children.’
Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë – ‘There’s only one word to sum up this ‘classic’ and that is BORING!’
The Great Gatsby by Scott F. Fitzgerald – ‘Classic garbage. Just because things are old or well-known, doesn’t mean they are worthwhile.’
Necropolis by Guy Portman – ‘… it was so tedious …’
Lord of the Flies by William Golding – ‘… utterly awful leaving a truley bitter taste in my mouth.’
Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone – ‘… it sucks balls and its hard to read there should be pictures and bigger writing …’
The Great Gatsby by Scott F. Fitzgerald – ‘Now at 70 yo I remember why I hate this crap for a book.’
Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson – ‘this book is a bad book, is very scary gives you nightmares …’
The Bible – ‘If you can stomach the genocide, infanticide, rape and killings then the Bible is for you. I will be sticking to Game of Thrones.’
The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger – ‘I’d let Alex from A Clockwork Orange babysit my daughter before I’d spend a single minute with this over-hyped, chickenshit boy.’
1984 by George Orwell – ‘… my rabbit could have written a better book.’
Enjoyed the post, Guy. I hardly think tedious. More like genious
Oh, genius, that’s what she must have been trying to type.
You are a victim of autocorrect.
Unbelievable. Necropolis and Lord of the Flies are great books. A rabbit capable of writing a better book than 1984 – wow.
A rabbit might be able to write a better book than ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’, but ‘1984’, no way.
