Varying Book Reviews
August 26th, 2010Its funny how people receive different books and how they review them. Here are a few excerpts from some recent book reviews from The Best 100 Novels List.
- “I hate this book. My love for reading was KILLED after finishing”
- “LIterally just finished reading this book an hour ago and I thought it was amazing”
- “At first this book was very confusing”
- “This book is the best book that I have ever read (and I have read all ten of the current top ten in this list!)”
- “do not this book I like”
- “It’s so boring and samey that it’s like Chinese water torture. Awful.”
- “It is amongst the best 10 twentieth century novels I have read”
- “this book is brilliant. an absolute master piece”
While there are vastly differing opinions on that list, they are all taken from reviews of Catch 22 by Joseph Heller. Nearly all of the books on the list have reviews with this type of variance and I just found it entertaining to look at the way someone can call a book the best book ever written while someone else says that the exact same book killed their love for reading.
Anyone else find any entertaining reviews on any of the lists that are worth mentioning?
Best 100 Children’s Books Update is Up
August 23rd, 2010The Best 100 Children’s Books list has just been updated. The list still has relatively few votes when compared to some of the other lists so I expect it to still change quite a bit over time. For this reason, I have not compiled a complete list as of yet. The list did, however, go from 15 children’s books to 30 in this update. The entire list changed quite a bit in this update including the former number one book, Green Eggs and Ham, moving all the way down to #6. To find out who took over the top five spots check out the entire list at The Best 100 Children’s Books.
Make sure to check back next Monday for an update of The Best 100 Movies List.
