Every time I had a favorite it was knocked down by the very next one. I find that some are knowingly funny but most are people of the lowest common denominator (sorry, had to throw it in). Although, I laughed when I read, “[I]t was about dirt! Dirt and migrating. Dirt and migrating and more dirt.”
No, I agree. Most of these reviews were born of ignorance. I also really “liked” the “review” for The Sun Also Rises. “We ate dinner and had a few drinks. Dinner. Drinks. More dinner. More drinks.” Etc. It cracked me up, although probably not in the way they intended.
I think that I asked myself at least 10 times -“is this for real?” Hilarious (and sad).

I know, right? Humorous, but at the expense of a few brain cells.

I would read them for enjoyment but not take their word for it.

I think these “reviews” are hilarious, but wildly off the mark (of course!).

It paints a picture, doesn’t it? I liked the one for The Great Gatsby.

That is so not an insult in my book, but to each their own I guess.

I love these! My fave is for Lord of the Rings: “The book is not readable because of the overuse of adverbs.” That just made my day.

They are highly quotable and memorable, if not always for the reasons the reviewers intended!
