This is a great exercise. I've gone back and read low star reviews for some of the books I've loved as well. Sometimes the reviews are thoughtfully written and point out some issues that I can understand, and sometimes they're just missing. the. point!
Yes indeed!
lol when people say things like “I didn’t like the characters” it’s like well duh maybe you weren’t *supposed* to like them
That part!!!
Hey Larosa! Hahahahahaha I had a good time watching you go through these reviews. The reviews about "If Beale could talk" had me an edge. Just cuz I enjoyed the book.😊 Your reactions were respectful but still conveyed your own feelings on the comments. 😅
Thanks love! Yes, I was like, "Don't mess with THE James Baldwin!" lol
I question if some people even have read the book sometimes .
Yes me too and it's so frustrating!
I love this! The STREET is phenomenal. What in the world are these people talking about. 👀🤔
Beale Street is soo good. American Sirens I enjoyed but need to finish!
Yes! While I appreciate different opinions on books, some reviews have me asking questions like, "Did we read the same book?" LOL
As an english major, ive realized a lot of people when reading can lack an unbiased critical approach and allow their own personal views of genre/topic/style (subjective ideas, that can be liked or disliked based on taste) to influence their basic comprehension of the text. this is something my professor ms are constantly battling, because students start off reading classics with a negative view of the genre as boring, and allow that to influence their opinion of objective aspects of the writing- like the lack or existence of character development. its kinda sad too, because it can prevent people from enjoying books that are good, and feature objectively good writing and topics/themes, because they go into it with a negative perspective
Aaahh such valid and strong points! It's so sad and folks miss out on looking through a new window with a new perspective...
Of course “Kelsey” didn’t connect with the black characters. The Street is a classic
Weeellllll.... lol Yes, perspective is everything
Lets be honest. Some people are biased any time a Black person is at the forefront of a story. I just ignore 1 stars on those books.
Sad, but oh so true... smh
