One-star reviews. They’re great. Not for
the authors, obviously, but for everyone else they’re an unbridled joy being as
they usually are completely unfair, ill-founded, incoherent, and irrelevant. I
don’t generally like panning books here (though that’s not wholly true; I just don’t
like reading books which are likely
to deserve a panning), but sometimes there can be something quite cathartic
about just letting loose whatever ill-formed brain-vomit is frothing about at
the top of your head. So here are a few one-star reviews from Amazon, some of
which are genuine, and some I’ve fabricated myself.
Look, it’s either this or bang on again
about the continued shit-fountain that is the NHK board of governors*, and I
don’t think my will to live can survive much more of that unscathed.
