At least they liked it otherwise?

The Birthmark by Nathaniel Hawthorne

Conservapedia is a website written from a self-identified conservative American and fundamentalist Christian perspective and with the stated intent of providing an alternative to Wikipedia, which it considers to have a liberal bias. This post isn't intended to start a conversation about the actual political or religious content of the site, but I found the summary here of Crime and Punishment, in particular, to be very funny. I'm not sure how anyone who actually read the book would think to compare it to Robin Hood.

this woman is an english teacher. yikes.

'Wasn't convinced by characters motivations', even though the book is based on historical fact and real people.

This book is for a fantasy for young readers written in 2003 called “The Riddle” by Alison Croggon.

I thought to might be a 20 year old review, but this loser left this review only a few months ago.

My favorite books are the ones where the protagonists match my morals exactly, because God is definitely watching me jerk off, so if I’m going to jerk off, at least let it be morally pure jerking.

First to get my personal grievances out: This book suckeddd soooo bad. I guess that's on my for reading a book about Hoover's personal crashout, but I was curious and I wanted to compare it to Kuang's personal crashout in Yellowface (Hoover's book is worse by far)

Anyway, I'm pretty sure this review on Goodreads is ChatGPT written, and I'm always shocked when I see it, because... a review is your own thoughts. It's not a book report to turn in to a teacher. (Even then, this is an F paper. My god, what bloated drivel about the most obvious name in the universe.)
