    People seem to enjoy literary criticism (or any criticism for that matter) almost as much as literature itself. Some of the oldest texts still available to humans have sections critiquing other texts of the time, for example, the Nāṭya Śāstra, a Sanskrit text on the performing arts from roughly 200 BCE has parts listing the advantages and disadvantages of similar texts.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Similarly, Aristotle and Plato both published texts criticizing ideas, works, and texts that they found distasteful. While most authors will write for the sake of writing, the copying and preservation of these works does indicate that deep down, most of us love reading about someone tearing something apart.

    I honestly don't understand how Colleen Hoover is popular. There's a difference between working through trauma through writing and romanticizing abuse. All the young people that read her books thinking what she writes about is romantic...she markets her books as love stories!!! Ugh I get so mad thinking about it

    2 years ago (edited) Created by potrace 1.15, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2017

    She is deeply problematic as a lot of her stories glorify toxic relationships, emotional and physical abuse, and controlling behaviour. It makes me sad as many of her books target young adults.

    2 years ago Created by potrace 1.15, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2017

    I haven't read this author, yet, but being a ghost story, alone, doesn't mean a story isn't supposed to be deep or meaningful. Agatha Christie's "Endless Night" and Stephen King's "Bag o' Bones" are some of the most raw, deepest and more emotionaly charged novels of said authors, and they are ghost stories. Not to mention how political "A Christmas Carol" was at the time and how psychologically complex Henry James' "The Turn of the Screw" and Shirley Jackson's "The Haunting of Hill House" are. Not judging you or your testes, just here to defend the potential of ghost stories. Lol

    Of course, before the relatively modern era, literacy rates were so low that reading, let alone reading about reading was pretty uncommon. But as more and more people “learned their letters,” a review, of anything really, became a genre all to itself, as most people still preferred to know about a thing before they potentially spent hard-earned money on it. This popularity meant that reviews started to evolve from pure evaluations into a form of content in of itself.

    One of the most popular critics, among his many claims to fame, was Jonathan Swift. Without knowing, many people might be at least familiar with not just one, but two of his portraits, which as memes are appropriately used to display someone's confusion and revulsion for something particularly bad. His works are still read today, a pretty clear sign that writers in particular can still learn about their craft by watching someone just dissect a text they have never seen before.

    The internet has allowed for a democratization of reviews and literary criticism, for better or worse. Certainly, one disadvantage of the “classic” way to read reviews, in a magazine, for example, is that a single critic's taste might differ from yours and people are not infallible. But sites like Goodreads let people mix and match research, both seeing what specific people and even authors think, but also seeing the mass of data created by anonymous users.

    The book reviews were so full of praise. It had some good/okay passages, but mostly it was annoying.

    I liked Red Queen! It's dystopian with a love triangle (which I didn't like in either series), but otherwise it's its own thing. First two books were great, the third one was a little boring, the fourth one I dnf because I lost interest.

    It's a shame. Her books definitely aren't for me, but they're not half bad. GR is pretty much a dumpster fire with readers who are deliberately scathing in an attempt to be witty. Ugh. And those reviewers are typically the ones whose 1-stars comprise over 50% of their entire ratings, lol. If reading is that miserable to them, maybe they need to take a break or pick a different genre.

    At its inception, the site mostly functioned as a way for early internet users to actually find things to read, as digitalization and even just online bookstores massively increased the options for the average buyer. But options are useless if the person doesn’t know they exist. But, of course, even when one sees all the books out there, it’s important to have some way to figure out what you would like.

    The book wasn't terrible, but like so many others on this list, she had the potential for better. I've read others just like it. And I feel like she was forcing herself to write poetically and suspense fully just to make it seem more well-written than it was. She can do better.

    Now the site and its catalog are so large that Goodreads has its own “librarians” to curate, sort, and keep track of all the literature being added to it. While this is of little interest to the average user, it’s a pretty good representation of just how large the platform is these days, with over 50 million reviews and 90 million users as of 2019. Of higher interest to many users is the ability to follow verified author accounts and see what they are reading and reviewing.

    I don't know- I actually quite love her books. I own quite a few. Perhaps 12 at least?It might have to do with the fact that they're bittersweet stories(in a way.) the main heroine always has something bad happen that occurs in her life and makes it difficult for her to properly live or find happiness until the end of the book. A lot of people thinks he relationships are toxic. And I can kind of see that to be honest. But it's all about interpretation. I just see it as realistic as not everyone woman can get a perfect happily ever after like a fairy tale. Most relations are gritty. They're messy. They aren't perfect, and you have to struggle. That's why I love her books.

    I think a lot of people dwell too much on the fact that a vook didnt turn out the way THEY wanted it to, and then tag it bad. Yall say colleen hoovers books are bad and rncourage toxic relationships... but look around you. How may of your friends and family STILL remain in toxic love and find a way to romanticize it? How many people STILL date people with huge red flags? How may people STILL date people with unchecked trauma... MOST PEOPLE DO. And thas what she writes about... THEIR perspective of life. It may not fit into your 'he changes for her' or 'he becomes better ' perspective, and ITS OKAY. The world is messed up, her vooks just depicts EXACTLY what it is. People with numerous messed up minds walking the streets. It is you who wants to read about a false reality from the couch in your room that needs to wake up and real see what the world is... EVERYONE is someone else's idea of messed up. And what your read, is ACTUALLY how the world works. So simply because it doesnt fit into YOUR standard of a happy relationship, dosent make the book bad. Shes an authkr, she did her research and believe it or not, what you read is a PRODUCT of her research on the deep emotions humans carry. I am a copywriter, and believe ,e when i tell you human emotions are so nastyytt, you would NEVER believe. People hide the most sickest things mehn

    Of course, humans are pretty ingenious creatures and we will find all sorts of ways to entertain ourselves in a pinch. One-star reviews are a good example, but a lot of people do actively like seeing the “fail state” of something. Whether it’s a car crash or “Kitchen Nightmares,” there is something exhilarating about learning the nitty, gritty, horrible details as an observer.

    I actually love many of her books, I have no idea why I keep subjecting myself to them though because they often makes me cry and breaks my heart. But I don't have to agree with the type of persons the book is about to find them good, or be able to identify myself with the characters to feel a rollercoaster of emotions while reading. I feel bad for the people who have to find the characters believable in their eyes or that the relationships in the book needs to be correct with their views or its not good. This book could have been shorter if they talked better with each other, but that's the thing with it, bad communication leading to heartbreak. And sometimes books are frustrating when you yourself knows the solutions but the characters don't act like you would or as you think they should, but it's a book, often a made-up thing and then it doesn't matter whats wrong or right.

    Same for most rom -com movies that could have wrapped up in 20 minutes rather than taking so long to reach the obvious ending, leaving me hoping they won't reproduce.

    In other words, we love to hate, but most people also realize that just hating stuff is boring, unappealing, and often pretty unhealthy. So particularly bad books and most of the ones on this list qualify, are a safe target, as they can be hated, mocked, and made fun of without that little voice inside wondering if this is perhaps an ugly look.

    It's like another review said, they realized they were too old. This book is pretty good if you're reading it as a teen/young adult (or still have those types of story preferences), but when you read it as an older adult it's just.....silly. Like how 15 year old me thought Twilight was a good book but 30 year old me just kind of cringes.

    It's entirely possible that she's not a real person, but a team of staff writers at the publisher churning out schlock to boost revenue. A lot of writers aren't real people nowadays, even the ones with faces.

    On this basis, many authors who would have and perhaps should have remained unknown rose to prominence. Twilight and its film adaptations had large fan bases but were equally well known for a large, very vocal group of critics who attacked it at every turn. If you happen to be a Twilight hater, even one who never read the book in the first place, bad reviews are no doubt a great source of entertainment.

    In the present day, this use of infamy to garner attention has become a relatively popular method to sell books, as some segment of the population will inevitably buy it just to see what all the fuss is about. As you scroll through, note which authors' names come up frequently. At this stage in digital marketing, the one-star review might be only second in value to a five-star review.

BUT i feel like it could've been way shorter as i found my self skipping so many boring pages that have no effect or reason to be in the book. So instead of it being 700 smth pages it could've been max 400

    They finished a c.1,000 page book so that they could avoid recommending it. Surely they could have achieved that in 50 pages. Also, this book is incredible.

    I agree! It was traumatic, granted, and I probably ugly-cried for about 10 minutes straight after finishing it, but I still thought it was fantastic.

    Hey, if I thought I could get away with doing that, I'd do it too! Except my fanfics are all about weird things that involve transporter malfunctions or parasitic symbiotes or pon farr or aliens that suck your life out of you, etc etc. There's no way I could change them enough to disguise the source material (and it's not all Star Trek despite what it may seem like)!

This thread is supposed to be about funny 1-star reviews.. i haven't read a single of the books on here though. I guess if I had a favorite here I would also try to salvage it just in case people decide not to give it a try.

    I don’t have any beef with the book or show. The only thing I have beef with is the a*****e company that is Netflix. Believe me, this would’ve never been a show if any of the main two kids weren’t white. They approved of it because white women like it, just look at the treatment of lesbians of color by Netflix. F**k Netflix.

    Giving a book a bad review because you don't like the book is fine, but doing so because you don't like the author's "kind" is all kinds of wrong.

    That IS some Twisted Hate I don't get this redhead hate. They were literally born that way. How sad is that. Pointless. What about people who dye their hair red? Eh?
