1 Star: To Kill A Mockingbird

|
This may upset some folks I know. There was a lot of unhappy people at Amazon, but it seems the "haters" came to a general consensus in their reviews. It was boring! My own personal comments will be denoted in red, just like Jesus. And as always, the reviews are cited as posted on Amazon, in all their grammatical glory.

"I was completely bored reading this book. A court case is hardly a thrilling idea."
Don't tell that to John Grisham.

"Once you have read one book like this one, you have read them all. A classic american piece of caca"

"Say what you will, but this never picks up. It starts out with Scout talking about how her brother once broke his arm. Who cares? The book's most exiting part is extremely confusing, and don't tell me I'm stupid; I have an IQ of 140. I personally prefer books that have something called action, such as Michael Chricton or Stephen King novels."
Yes, of course, the genius doesn't understand the most "exiting" part of the book. Big surprise.

"I was assigned this book for a reading assignment and me and the guy who sat next to me seemed to be the only ones who hated the book out of the whole class and we sit right infront of the teachers desk so we gave her heck all day! lol anyway... I seriously dislike this book!"
When I read this I can picture some of the high school kids I work with actually saying it... quite disturbing.

Well if this is a classic then so could the Charlies Angel's movies. All the book consists of is a middle-class family in the south with a few weird neighbors. I mean come on. Who really cares about a little girl that goes around the neighborhood doing things like spying on her albino neighbor. If that makes a book a classic, shame on you. Atticus against all odds is always fair and never makes anyone mad. He deals with all disputes perfectly. A wee bit too good to be true. Don't you think? Finishing this book felt like the equivalent of fighting in World War II with nothing but an army of G.I. Joes. If you have been given this book as a present I give you my deepest condolences."

"this book is to long and there arent eny car chases or bombs going off and i wuz bored and it would make a lowsy video game."
This has got to be a joke, but still priceless.

It is a very interesting and great book!!!!! I expecially liked how they talked of people standing up for what is right!! NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This suit is NOT black. That was for you, Eric.

"This book is very nasty. It depicts scenes I would not care to see if I was being PAID. It's just a sick book. Dont read it, kids"

"THIS BOOK IS BORING!There's no other word to describe it.I just wasen't interested in this book.And they call this a "timeless classic"!Bah,humbug!If I had a cookie for every time I heard that, I'd be a very fat kid!"

"In our most humble opinion we think this book could use some work. Half the book dose not appeal to the readers eye, but on the other hand the other half of the book is completely different from the first half. This is a story that may have touched the hearts of some, but for the many that don't understand it. We agree with them because it doesn't make any sence to us."
Let me see if I got this right. So half the book didn't "appeal to the readers eye", and then you are upset that the second half is completely different?

"I'm sorry everyone. I don't see why this book is so fabeulos. I would give it a zero. I find no point in writing a book about segregation, there's no way of making it into an enjoyable book. And yes i am toataly against segragation. Thanks to all my friendswho had to tourchure threw reading this disgrace and supporting me in not likeing the book. By the way, DO NOT BUY, because if i find it in your house i won't think to kindly of you."
I think he secretly is a fan of segregation and "tourchure".

P.S. I get clemency for my spelling error, as I wrote that one-handed at 5:25 a.m.
