This tumblr has what it calls "Reviews of classic books, culled from the internet's think tank."

I honestly think some were written by Mr Roxy. For instance, of the first Harry Potter book:

“I may be just a ‘Moogle’ (as they say in the books) but I just don’t get it.”

Some of them are laugh out loud funny, and I want to assume intentionally so.

“Way too much information about yams."

That's true of a lot of books.

“This book takes place back when racism against blacks took place.”

You can find someone saying stuff like this on the main board right now.

That site and this one are microcosms of America.

And Karen Finley!

Ha! That was my first thought when I read that review. Or anything yam-related, really.

The brilliant stupidity of "avid readers." These are great.

I love the ones for Swann's Way and The House of the Spirits.
