Amateur Reviews Annoy Me Slightly
They are. There is no doubt in my mind. I've been reading reviews for some of the well-known, critically acclaimed books out there and it's always the same deal with the low star ones.
Reviews are pointless because some people are just utterly unintelligent. Most of the people on 1 star reviews claim that the book is too long and have unpronounceable names. How pathetically moronic do you have to be to complain about a book being slow? That's not a valid review of a book. People even say that the book is badly written. They give absolutely no reason as to why it is badly written, no evidence to back up their claims. People say Elantris is badly written. Right, yeah, an English professor writes poorly. Bah!
I'm not going to read reviews any more. They are infuriating.
/Rant.
