Review # 1 was written on 2015-11-17 00:00:00 Curt Lindenberger DNF 60% I just came to the realization a few minutes ago that I'm a grown-ass woman who doesn't have to read boring shit. And THIS? This was some boring shit! Ok, I'll be the first to admit that classics aren't 'my jam', but A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court looked, on the surface, fun enough to be readable. BZZZZT! Ok, for example: This woman (whatshername) is reading a reallyreallyreally dull account of some fight between knights. But instead of just SAYING, "Whatshername reads a really dull account of some fight between knights.", Twain writes out PAGES and PAGES of a really fucking dull fight between knights and forces us to read the goddamn thing! Fuck you, Mark Twain! FUCK YOU! So what was this about? Fuck all if I know. All I got out of it (and I read over half!) was that Twain hates the Catholic church, and thinks people in the middle ages were stinky retards. Oh, but Anne! What about Twain's trademark humor? Where was the funny?! Show it to me! Show me the funny! You can't, because it's NOT there! In fact, this book is like some weird black hole that literally sucks the happiness out of you. Have you been bitten by a good story lately? Well, here! This...this is the antidote to a good book! I started this at the end of January and it's now April. I'm calling it. Time of death: 8:41 am. 4/5/17 Buddy read on 1/30/17 with Jeff, Holly, & Ginger!

Review # 2 was written on 2019-04-21 00:00:00 Robyn Liddell [I would call it one of the first sci-fi, uchronia, drama, comedy hybrids ever. How the protagonist shapes the primitive world, tries to improve it, secretly brings the 19th century technology and democracy, and is confronted with the cruelty, madness, and suffering of this horrible period is astonishing in its creativity. Feudalism plus escalating faith was a match made in hell, costing humankind 1,5k years of potential earlier development, killing hundreds of millions or even more. (hide spoiler)]
