1 Star Classics

|
I've been busy of late and haven't had much to really blog about, but I have been coming up with some new ideas to post about. The first is going to be a segment called "1 Star Classics" in which I will focus on a book, movie, or album that is highly regarded as a classic and qoute Amazon.com reviewers that gave them 1 star. The first edition goes to:


"Shakespeare may be a genius, but cmon, this is the worst reading material i have ever seen."

"Guess what! This is a great book! JUST KIDDING! It's HORRIBLE! IT IS BY FAR THE WORST BOOK I HAVE READ IN MY ENTIRE LIFE! I would never, ever, ever, ever buy this book. NEVER! Oh, did I mention how bad the writing is? The writing is HORRIBLE! IT IS THE WORST WRITING THAT I HAVE READ IN MY ENTIRE LIFE! If you are bored enough to read this book, you have way too much free time and don't deserve to have the money that it costs to buy it. I really don't know why everyone says that Shakespeare is such a great writer. He isn't."

"Hello Shakespeare, is anyone home? Most people will say that I didn't understand this, but I totally did and it still stinks. It cannot equal the feeling I got from reading abou Frodo and Sam climbing mount doom. And the fight scenes were totally unrealistic. I'm into suspending disbelief and all, but Hamlet? Hello? Like, a ghost living? Give me Mount Doom anyday."

"The only ones who seem to like ol' Shakes are drama department queens. His plays are essentially empty souled affairs with emotions that are either shallow or excessively melodramatic. There is not a single recognizable flesh and blood human being in his plays. He lacks any consistent viewpoint so that his output all adds up to nothing. Don't waste your time."

As the British say, "Brilliant!"

On behalf of my eldest sister, who complains of her inability to comment and demands that you instate anonymous posting (well, "demand" is rather hyperbolic):

"HILARIOUS. Great idea, Ryan. Can't wait to see what people have to say about Jane Austen..."

Wow, I didn't even know that I had it set so only registered users could comment. I have changed the settings so that anyone can post. Far be it from me to upset the "eldest" of anything, let alone the eldest Sorensen daughter.

Oh, I wouldn't worry about the eldest... fear the wrath of the middle child! Just kidding. I don't think we have a lot of wrath. Steve and I thought we should trade Lucy for our 2nd niece, so that my sister would have all oldest (eldest) children in their family, and we'd have all 2nd children. Except that Abby is a total rascal... =)
