When you, the reader, sit down to analyze a book, you must remember that whatever you choose to say is subjective. It’s your opinion and you’re entitled to it. Even if it means trashing a widely acknowledged author.
To give everyone the courage to speak their mind, the Facebook page Haters of Goodreads are sharing some of the funniest reviews that have appeared on the literary website.
Calling The Catcher in the Rye “the most overrated ‘classic’ of all time”, refusing to finish Swann’s Way due to Proust “discussing the smell of his chamber pot after having eaten asparagus”… It’s all there!
