Serious jibber jabber review7/12/2023 You may think “that I simply don’t understand this work” well I don’t and I am not going pretend that I understand this “classic” Perhaps I am incapable of comprehending this novel. The 17th century English aristocracy and the way the people cary and behave themselves and think so highly of themselves and so low of anybody who is different, is offensive and without merit. I pasionately despise this novel and I could write an entire paper on why. I have never felt such contemt for any work that I read. I am offended by every paragraph that I read. It is quite contageous I might add because I find myself helplessly imatitating the language that it was written in. It is a book where they compliment women as being handsome and men as being well…also handsome. It is about people pretending to be inteligent and pretending to be civilized. I have never read such a novel that is completly incompetant, complete nonsence, the smallest talks of all the small talks in the world, it is about nothingness, and how several nothings trying and wanting to get married to other nothings for all the wrong reasons in the world. I am forced to read this book for my lit class and I find this book repulsive. Nevertheless, I must speak out and let my opinon be heard even though most of you who can’t say enough about this book wouldn’t want to hear. And that is perfectly fine we are not all a like and have a right to our own views and opinions. It appears that the odds are against me since most people love this…I don’t even know what to call it. I salute it! I too enjoy Tales from the Crypt. I’m pretty sure this one is on-purpose funny. “Nonsensical jibber-jabber” is now my favourite phrase of all time. I tried and tried to read it, but it was all nonsensical jibber-jabber. Like others, I really did want to like this book. When that happens I turn to the one-star reviews of Jane Austen’s Pride & Prejudice which are the best therapy in the universe and never fail to cheer me up. Some days though I find bad reviews of my own work a bit hard to take. To this day one of my fave punter reviews ever is from the Barnes & Noble site and declares that Magic or Madness is like a bad Australian episode of Charmed. It is good and wise to toughen up and learn to, if not love them, at least enjoy them. My good friend John Scalzi believes that we authors should all own our one-star reviews.
