The 1-Star Amazon Reviews of 'Hard Choices' Are In and They're As Unhinged as You'd Expect
National Journal | June 10, 2014 | Brian Resnick

BYLINE: Compared with the five-star reviews, the one-star ones are a lot more, er, colorful.

Hillary Clinton is a polarizing figure. So when she releases an autobiography, opinions on said book are going to diverge. This is especially true with her book release now, seeing as many are interpreting the media blitz surrounding the book to be a test run for a 2016 campaign.

On Amazon.com, as of this writing, there are 19 five-star, perfect reviews of Hard Choices. And then there are 44 one-star reviews. (The most popular line being "should be listed as fiction." Zing.) There are only six reviews in between those extremes.

I guess anything said by a Clinton that has the word “HARD” as its title is going to be funny but very penetrating thought.

As of this post, there are more 1-star Amazon reviews (136) than all the other ratings put together. I suspect that many of the 1-star reviews haven't read the book, and are just having a little fun.

No matter. The anti-Hillary folks are controlling the narrative over there. Sweet.

Sometimes you CAN judge a book by its cover. On her book cover, Palin looks strong and confident. She projects a sense of freedom and morality.

On the other hand, on her book Hillary looks arrogant, and even a bit sinister (yeah, I checked). Her smile is forced and empty. Her picture looks like it should be on the cover of a family-of-crazies horror book.

Oh, wait a minute...she is from a family of crazies. Makes sense now.

“Starting with the photograph on the cover, hours, days, and years flew by. I forgot to eat, forgot to work, neglected family, allowed my tools to rust in the yard, all in a mesmerizing haze of fascination with the Clinton psychopathic dynasty. With what I have learned about her qualifications and the tribulations in her life, I am now ready to find my mower buried in the tall grass and begin the arduous task of looking for the gas can....tomorrow. I first need to reread My Life but that guy to whom she’s married.”

LMAO!!
