This book is like an ungrateful girlfriend …

Click for excerpts from actual one-star Amazon.com reviews of books from Time’s list of the 100 best novels from 1923 to the present.A few favorites among these reviews:

The Lord of the Rings (1954) by J.R.R. Tolkien”The book is not readable because of the overuse of adverbs.1984 (1948) by George Orwell”… This book isn’t as good as Harry Potter in MY opinion, and no one can refute me.The Sound and the Fury (1929) by William Faulkner”This book is like an ungrateful girlfriend. You do your best to understand her and get nothing back in return.
