One-Star Revue: 2666

All real 1-star customer reviews on Amazon. No spoilers.
  • "I feel like I lost time and I don't want my money back (only because I borrowed it from the library)."
  • "I wish he was alive so that we could ask him, 'Why Roberto? Why?'"
  • "Guess I'm destined not to get Bolano, like I don't get Jean-Luc Godard... " [Ed. note: *~~*SAD TROMBONE*~~*]
  • "There are many reviews here that are way more specific than the ones I had heard/read, and I appreciate that some people really like this book. I am fascinated to meet one of them live some day and have a conversation."
  • "As to comparisons with Kafka's unfinished masterpieces, The Trial and The Castle, that only makes me angry."
  • "I can see how this might have been written by a very ill man."
  • "This book would make a great table leg, coaster, or booster seat for a small child."
  • "I would prefer to be boiled alive in oil."

That "boiled alive" comment was me LOL. At least one of the others (maybe the Godard one) was Robert Rodriguez.
