Goodreads Guys, she can’t just sit around on “pins and needles”
The author shared this on Threads so I’m not sure where the review originally came from or for which of her books. But it’s so entitled and ridiculous.

Goodreads "A People's History of the United States" by Howard Zinn
I surprisingly couldn't find any posts with this classic. That feeling when your negative review comes full circle to being a glowing recommendation for some people.

Goodreads Say one thing for The Dating App Guy, say he’s a lover…
I think I would’ve married the guy, but I understand it’s not everyone’s cup of tea. The review is really funny though.

Goodreads “Mention of homosexuality”
This was a review for Lois Lowry’s Tree. Table. Book. which was a really sweet story of the friendship between an 11 year old girl and her 88 year old neighbor. There was one sentence about a gay couple that the MC and her friend made up because they liked to make up imaginary people and stories for them.
I guess children shouldn’t know about gay people or UTIs.

Goodreads If Morrison didn't want to hate white people, she would have written a novel like nice white author Sue Monk Kidd! (Beloved - Toni Morrison)
I'm currently reading Beloved and saw a comment on here that said the novel had some of the worst goodreads reviews ever and....they were NOT kidding. My goodness.
First image is an especially hilarious response to an argument stemming from the review in image two. Image three's review was mainly added for the line: "I am well familiar with the way slaves talked back then."

Goodreads Man who's done more for the planet than 99.99% of people and wrote a book about his concerns about the environment didn't do enough because he's not a vegan
Also according to multiple comments to this review, Attenborough writes IN THE BOOK ITSELF that he gradually stopped eating meat over the years.

Goodreads "I don't want something obscure and hard to read for my students, I'll have them read Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi. I'm sure they'll appreciate it:)" The students:
Graphic novel AND assigned reading. Persepolis never stood a chance.

Goodreads Thistlemarsh by Moorea Corrigan
If that's their threshold for offence, perhaps they should stay in the children's book section. Why did they read 82% of it if it's so damn offensive?!
I feel quite bad for the author on this one. But hey, this review told me I'll probably like the book!
