Reading 1 Star Reviews of Books I Love

Feel free to purchase these books using my Book Depository link to help me make more videos:

Now do 5 star reviews of books you hate?

[katehowereads]

Yay! So fun to see you doing this! I agree that a flipped video would be really fun along with more like this.

[myreadinglife]

I found this extremely entertaining. Would love to see you do another.

Such a great video Mercedes! I will admit, I found The Essex Serpent underwhelming - I felt like there wasn't really a point to the book in the end, but hey maybe that's just me :) Still have Night Waking on my TBR to read, so hopefully I can get to it soon!

[christineb]

Fun to watch and I would love to see the flip too !

[justatinyhalfling]

I loved this video, so funny and clever! I would love to see the flipped version as well! Always fun to hear you telling people why they're wrong. ;D

[italianbookworm]

This was brilliant and wonderfully humorous at points. I love the concept. I'd love to see another of these in the future and/or reading 5 star reviews of books you disliked/DNF.

This was so much fun, and all the more so I think because I've read all of those books! I can't believe some people miss the ending of The Little Stranger. It's an ending I still think about now, over a year after finishing.

Great video. I do enjoy reading Goodreads reviews of polarizing books.

[YourTrueShelf]

This was fun - and you were so fair in what you said about the reviews! I like how you gave your thoughts on what they said, you didn't belittle their reviews.
Would love to see you flip it, definitely.

[antoneladiana]

I find myself so bored by reviews that tell the plot of the book that I often can't get to the part where they tell their feelings about it.
I noticed that you said you couldn't find 1 star reviews. I don't know if you knew that you can filter reviews by star rating on Goodreads.
This video was great! I love reading 1 star reviews of my favorite books, I find it hilarious!
I'm very intrigued to read The Little Stranger, I want to know the ending now!
I would love to see a video whre you read 5 star reviews of books that you gave 1 star

[ClaireReadsBooks]

Ha! This was so fun – even more proof that reading is so subjective, you might as well have fun with it! Nothing‘s better/more painful than a really well-written, well-reasoned takedown of one of your faves 😄 Loved your counter-arguments here, too.

[isabelleangouleme]

This was really fun! You’re very gracious in your responses to one-star reviews. Plus you’ve made me very curious about that Sarah Waters book now.

[SavidgeReads]

What a brilliant idea for a video. Not a single one star review for Rebecca in the first 200 reviews. Du Maurier rocks lol. Angry librarians, there’s more of them than you could imagine. Hahaha. I was worried I might have given the Valente one star. Ha. I think I gave it two if I was on goodreads there but imagine if any of these had been people you’d known. How can people not like The Essex Serpent? Who are these people? Haha.

[anettebecker]

I completely agree with you on The Little Stranger. Many people don't get the ending. I think it's brilliant and absolutely thrilling.

[ThePatty]

Wow! I love your new look! Beautiful and stylish haircut and the makeup is great! Greetings from Brazil!

[opodobed]

Hope you'll do more of this! It was fun!

[nicolereed]

What a brilliant idea! I can't wait to go check out Kate's views on this topic. I loved your rebuttals to the one star reviews!

[thedoodlebakery]

I really liked this video and your responses to the reviews. I thought they were insightful and the brief background offered clarity on the pitfalls of the novel. I would love to see another one of these or to see this flipped the other way.

[GinaStanyerBooks]

Oh I agree this is such a great topic for a video! Loved Kate’s too and I hope that all my favorite book tubers do this!
