Laura Bates’s book reviews

From time to time, when I have an idle moment, I amuse myself by checking out the reviews of Laura Bates’s book on Amazon. The most recent one – here – is a (minimum) 1-star review (lowest rating possible) from Eddie Jones:

My ‘postman’ is a woman. To my horror I finally discovered why this (and other items) take so long to arrive. She is not strong enough to carry much. So, must do a bit at a time. Meanwhile her Ikea kitchen is lying empty while her hungry husband waits for his dinner.

The preceding review is a (maximum) 5-star review by a woman whose short review ends with this gem:

Essential reading for human beings.

I’ve left her a comment along the lines of, ‘Essential reading for human beings… as opposed to essential reading for…?’
