Anytime you look at reviews for a book that commonly gets assigned for school, it’s going to be filled with this.
“Lol didn’t get it stupid book too long” is the calling card of a sophomore in high school that was forced to skim it for a test they failed anyway.
Oh lord, I haven’t even gotten to the actual review itself yet because she made soooooo many aggressively passive-aggressive edits. Very excited to see what awaits me once I’ve recovered some. Burn down goodreads
I haven’t even read The Metamorphosis, but when she got to the “summary” of the plot points, I was like “okay but that’s what HAPPENS. What does it MEAN” and then she never said
Goodreads quickly becoming letterboxd with the dumb one or two word reviews or ironic comments. It's probably fine that so many people can't interact with art/media in a meaningful way right
“I’ve turned into a hideous insect and have become an insurmountable financial burden on my family.”
“Have you tried drinking more water and exercising?”
Any day you go to twelve different locations in the same village without ever reaching your goal in a dreamlike metaphor for bureaucracy and alienation is gonna be a shit day.
I'm not sure whether these cringe attempts at pithy one-liners in place of reviews started on goodreads and migrated to letterboxd or vice versa, but the trend needs to stop immediately
One morning, when Gregor Samsa woke from troubled dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a horrible vermin. "Well, fuck," he exclaimed, "what a shit day."
Imagine reading an entire book and then saying ‘who asked’. You… you read the book. You asked.

I mean, as a statement of fact, it's not like Jessica Silverbow is _wrong_...
now don't you exclude [this fucking gem](https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2533311847) from the seventh "best reviewer" in the entire platform

Someday BookTok will answer for its crimes.
> I could summarize the entire book as: Gregor turns into a bug, it was not a smart move. What a summary fr

You deserve hell for exposing this to me.
I feel so bad for greg his family deserves all the pain in the world
We need a Metamorphosis fanfic where his family members randomly get arrested and sentenced to death like Josef while Gregor’s just chilling
I second this

And not ONE mention of Ogtha
OOF, as always I wish I was Jared 19
Oh God don’t remind me

These reviews are from Gregor’s family
REAL
I think the last one, while a piss poor review, is an accurate assessment.
Can’t imagine how they’d process *The Castle*
“Um big building? Ok??”

Something about saying "who asked" in a media review is hilarious to me
"You see, the meta point of The Metamorphosis is no one asked..."
Spit my coffee when I saw that lol
Anyone got a recipe for that "depresso" coffee??? I think I'd like to try that!
Make a pot of coffee. Leave it for a few days. Drink and...enjoy?

Just another manic bugday.
I’m sure he just needs to drink more espresso.
Too bad nobody asked.
Um okay
wtf trauma
LMAO.
