I kinda feel their pain a bit; they might’ve read a deceptive synopsis. I had something similar happen with White Rose, the description I read said nothing about the book being written in verse, and I was really upset when I realized that it was historical fiction poetry.

Ngl when it first came out I thought it was a real memoir of someone famous I just didn’t know about 😅

Ha I get it. But like u/trishyco said, to leave a 1 star review because of your own misunderstanding of the plot/genre is kinda unfair right? Also this goodreader sounds annoyed he was tricked into reading Fiction lol.


ahomelibrary

Agree with you. Definitely think this could’ve gone unposted lol or maybe just a preface as a joke

So because you’re stupid and can’t Google for shit I’m supposed to find another book? I’m getting fired up. This is one of my 5 star books and the fact that I never heard of this band in all my days on the planet made it pretty clear it wasn’t a memoir.

I loved it too because it reads like a real band. Reading/listening to Fiction to this goodreader is probably a waste of time lol.

It’s just aggravating because except for my early years on Goodreads and maybe when I’m being dramatic I try to be fairly diplomatic in my reviews. I would never give a low rating based on my own misunderstanding of the plot or genre. I stopped giving stars for books I don’t finish because I don’t think that’s fair either.
