>>9946464
she has a point though

In a thread near this one people are discussing Tolstoy's review of Shakespeare.

Should he be ridiculed like these people for trying to review a classic or he gets a pass since he was an established writer?

Should works of literature that have historic significance (or any other kind) even be reviewed for something other than that influence?

this actually makes me sad.

she thinks franny is portrayed as an incomprehensible female cliche.
and i feel she is like the bf of franny in the book. someone too stupid and selfcentered to even listen.

i thought someone can makes a Little self reflection after read a book like that. but... the world is too subtle.

>>9946625
Ok you're a super ironic dude.
I'm sorry that so many dumb reviews on goodreads are written by women and that in these kind of threads people start talking shit about the gentle sex

>>9946464
What is with these faggy threads? You are succumbing to group think just as you mock people who read YA and genre fiction. They may be classics but that doesn't mean everyone has to enjoy them and give 5 star reviews just because someone said its a classic.

>>9946724
No Fucking way.

>>9946754

>>9946754
He never implied that everyone had to enjoy them. All that was mentioned is simply the fact that these "reviewers" give barely any structural construtive criticism by not finishing the book, not understanding the viewpoints, and fail to analyze the book throughly before making judgements and critique.

>>9946754
>someone uses wayyyyyyyyyyy seriously in a review of a classic novel, let alone any novel.
