Talking 1* Novel Reviews

The following is a list of 1* Amazon.com reviews books from Time’s list of the 100 best novels from 1923 to the present day. It's an old post, but there are some gems in there:

Such as:

Quote:

The Grapes of Wrath (1939)
Author: John Steinbeck


“While the story did have a great moral to go along with it, it was about dirt! Dirt and migrating. Dirt and migrating and more dirt.”

The Sound and the Fury (1929)
Author: William Faulkner


“This book is like an ungrateful girlfriend. You do your best to understand her and get nothing back in return.”


Mrs. Dalloway (1925)
Author: Virginia Woolf


“The only good thing to say about this “literary” drivel is that the person responsible, Virginia Woolf, has been dead for quite some time now. Let us pray to God she stays that way.”
