I found this site while chasing links off a Bad Movies page http://www.coldfusionvideo.com/book/index.html
I am amused by “disposable literature” and want to know if anyone knows of any similar sites. Snarkiness is good.
Sites with reviews of bad books (in the same way that sites review bad movies) are rare, simply because book reading is a more active process. If you find a book is bad, you stop reading it. If you’re a reviewer, you can get hostile, but can’t really interest people in reading the book to laugh along. Also, it’s easy a cheap to find a bad movie, and people can find them on TV for free. Books are harder to find.
In any case, Red Mike’s Reviews has some reviews of bad books (check out the review for “The Pleistocene Redemption”).
There’s also this review of The Ultimatum to Mankind.
BTW, if you want to start your own page reviewing bad books, the raw material is available from Xlibris.com or iUniverse.com. Go into their bookstores and read the excerpts. It won’t take you long to find something.
Mrs. Giggles does mostly reviews of romance novels and the like, but she absolutely savages a couple of vampire goth books in a highly amusing way. Sample:
He loves her! He trusts her! But look, he’s a vampire, so he will first whinewhinewhine about the pain, loneliness, the nastiness of sucking blood, et cetera - oh go suck a carrot, you.
When I do reviews for Epinions I take special joy in savaging crappy books. It’s like a religious calling!
