12 Hilarious One Star Book Reviews

Few things make me laugh more than hilarious one star books reviews.

Most books worth their salt have garnered at least a few godawful reviews. Often it is a case of the reviewer being opposed to the general consensus. In many instances bad reviews reveal more about the reviewer than the book.

Here is the latest instalment in my ‘One Star Book Review’ series.

1984 by George Orwell – ‘He (Orwell) doesn’t know a thing about the 80s. Not ONCE did he mention Def Leppard or Karma Chameleon.’

Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone – ‘… my son cud not understand it. I also, cud not understand it.’

Lord of the Flies by William Golding – ‘answer me this- can you read a book where the author describes a twig for five pages???’

Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson – ‘DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK YOU WILL DIE FROM BOREDOM!!!’

1984 by George Orwell – ‘Go away book, go away.’

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince – ‘… personally, I DO NOT agree with Harry Potter books.’

A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens – ‘Twee, grisly and fawning, the greatest turkey ever told.’

Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy – ‘…, if you see Anna for $5 at your neighbor’s garage sale, go ahead and buy it. Hollow it out, and stash a handgun in there … Beat your disobedient child with it. Put it in your fireplace … Just don’t read it!’

Sepultura by Guy Portman –‘I made it to page 17 and was done.’

Brave New World by Aldous Huxley – ‘… for the love of God don’t read that ‘Brave New World’ book by Hoxley. It’s twice as bad as 1984.’

Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury – ‘Heyyyy I had to read this book for school and it was the worst thing I ever read.’

The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald – ‘Twentieth Century Masterpiece, NO; 2 days of incrediably wasteful reading I will never get back.’

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.’
