Far too clever...

One-star Amazon.com reviews of books from Time’s list of the 100 best novels from 1923 to the present. They are just too funny. A sample:

Lord of the Flies (1955)

Author: William Golding

“I am obsessed with Survivor, so I thought it would be fun. WRONG!!! It is incredibly boring and disgusting. I was very much disturbed when I found young children killing each other. I think that anyone with a conscience would agree with me.”

Very funny. The review of The Grapes of Wrath was actually pretty accurate, although useless:
“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.”
