12 Funny One Star Book Reviews

Here is the latest instalment in my amusing one star famous book review series. I hope you find the following reviews as amusing as I do.

The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger – ‘I would rather read the dictionary.’

Othello by William Shakespeare – ‘…, the whole plot just didn’t make sense. Get your shit together Othello.’

The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
– 
‘Would I get into trouble if I strangled Little Prince and his syrupy philosophy. The flower I have already trampled.’

Ulysses by James Joyce – ‘… did not read bored in 10 seconds.’

1984 by George Orwell – ‘Attempting to read this book is worse than watching the grass grow.’

The Odyssey by Homer –‘I haven’t actually bought this item yet.’

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain – ‘DO NOT READ THIS BOOK!’

Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone – ‘… well, well, what has the wolf pulled over our eyes this time. A brilliantly profitable book – but far from a brilliant book.’

Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert – ‘Monsieur Flaubert is not a writer.’

Emma by Jane Austen – ‘It’s great if you’re into that old 1800s kind of Ewwww.’

Othello by William Shakespeare – ‘Me doth thinkift I understandifth … It is English and I am English. I just don’t happen to speak Old English. Which is really ironic because I am old and speaking English.’

The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger – ‘The man who wrote this should be in an asylum.’

My Plans For 2019

Happy New Year everyone.

May all your troubles last as long as your New Year’s resolutions.’ – Joey Adams

This, my first blog post of 2019, is about my plans for this year. With regards writing, I plan to release my sixth book later this year. I released two in 2018 (Sepultura & Tomorrow’s World). Golgotha will be the third and final instalment in the Necropolis Trilogy. It will feature suave sociopath Dyson Devereux. The first part, Necropolis, has 100+ reviews on Goodreads. Part two, Sepultura, was released last year. If you like dark humour you’ll love the Necropolis trilogy.

A sociopath can only keep up a façade for so long.

As for other plans, I have some freelance writing work to get on with, and then there’s the reading. Here are a couple of books I want to read this year.
