Classic Books are Rubbish
Okay so Time Magazine recently did a list of the top 100 books of the last eighty years or so. Now here's a selection of Amazon reviews from customers who thought the "classic" book just plain sucked.
I'm currently reading Kerouac's On The Road, so here's the one for that:
"This book gets my nomination for the most overrated book in American Literature. It is trite, saccharine and false. The themes and insights it contains are not even good enough to be third rate. Moreover, as a prose stylist, Kerouac was probably fourth rate. In short, I despise this piece of [garbage] and would advise all of its hipster doofus fans to lose the tie-dye clothes and throw away their bongs. Maybe then they will read something good for a change."
