Who leave bad reviews due to their own stupidity.

Crying laughing at some of these!!

One review that sticks in my head is this one:

'This book is too scary for my whole family. My child is now traumatized and needs mental help. My wife thought the water colors were very cold and made her depressed. Customers should think before buying a book like this.'

Those Paul Ross reviews have made me cry with laughter. Cheers popcorn

Clawdy · 09/03/2012 20:17

Most annoying are those where it's obviously an author trying to plug their own book...like "Enjoyed Joseph O'Connor's novel but try "Obscure Title" by "Never heard of",you will love it!" Really pisses me off.

fifitrixibell · 09/03/2012 20:44

there was a thread on here a few months ago about an amazon review for the mooncup which was hilarious - I was crying with laughter. I've tried looking for it and I can't find it - does anyone remember it?

fifitrixibell · 09/03/2012 20:47

Now i need to go on and click on lots of highbrow books so my husband doesn't wonder why amazon are recommending books on taxidermy and Paul Ross tatt Grin

Blatherskite · 09/03/2012 21:01

Blatherskite · 09/03/2012 21:02

Different shade and more funny reviews here

OriginalJamie · 09/03/2012 21:03

Popcorn thankyou

OriginalJamie · 09/03/2012 21:06

WhatLarks · 09/03/2012 21:10

this would be useful

CelstialNavigation · 09/03/2012 21:11

Many thanks for these. Thread of the week.

My favorite review of the Paul Ross canvas was "It arrived and it was upside-down. Useless."

On a side note, I had no idea amazon sold such a plethora of complete and utter tat.

Mumsyblouse · 09/03/2012 21:19

This thread is hilarious, thank you all so much, I have made my sides ache and have been crying with laughter, I don't know if I can ever post an Amazon review again.

WhatLarks · 09/03/2012 21:19

ha

Whatmeworry · 09/03/2012 21:20

I have been browsing the "what people bought"£ and reading those reviews too. have wet mysel;f consistently. I wonder if Amazon knows its got a spiralling windup going on?

HazleNutt · 09/03/2012 21:33

I'm crying. Prickles the dead hedgehog

LucyGoose · 09/03/2012 21:38
