/r/BadReads
Because sometimes: a book review says more about the reviewer than it does about the book. r/BadReads is a showcase of the most unhelpful book reviews from all over the internet: reviews that are shallow, vapid, vacuous or otherwise totally missing the point. Parody/satirical and tongue-in-cheek reviews are also welcome.

Laurie thinks that 2 pages of erotica in an adult vampire book is equivalent to showing pornography to children
I know there are much crazier reviews to choose from, but this earned a legitimate chuckle from me just now.

A review of the final book in a series
This book hasn’t even come out yet.
(It also had five star reviews.)

(What Light by Jay Asher) so if this character had done the same thing but was a black trans man instead it'd be more acceptable to you? smh I never understand these types of reviews

(The Last Lover by Can Xue) Clearly the characters not thinking rationally isn't because it's a surrealist novel and that's the point of the genre, it's because the Chinese pea brain can't comprehend Western logic
