Catcher in the Rye? More Like Poop Flung from on High
Except for the underlying theme of rebellion against authority, Catcher in the Rye offers little to warrant its nearly universal star status. It mercilessly assaults readers with melodrama, whining, and endless, pathetic attempts at cleverness. Accurately portraying its fundamental horribleness would take more words than comprised in the book itself.

UNWEBBED
NOTE: I know what I like, and I don’t like, but I usually prefer to give positive feedback and be encouraging because all artists weave their own special magic – so in this scenario, I decided to attempt a negative criticism…

Animal farm
I never liked reading in school. However one book I hope never leaves the curriculum is Animal Farm. Beowulf, The Most Dangerous game, The Crucible, don't even come close. I'll be honest I can't explain why it's stuck with me ever since. The symbolism sure, but there's just something more.

Fifty Shades of Grey
I gave this series a chance because of all the fuss happening online. I was left confused how a minimally edited book series got published by a big publisher. The silver lining is maybe I actually have a shot at getting published if E.L. James could.

Howard The Duck (1986)
Howard The Duck (1986) A quack-tastic misadventure that left audiences in a very 'fowl' mood. This feather-brained sci-fi caper takes "duck out of water" to a whole new level, leaving audiences questioning the sanity of both ducks and filmmakers alike.

Hamlet
Shakespeare's creation, damaged by Hamlet's instability. Unfortunate defect — overthinking — postpones activity. Spooky retribution slows down in reflection. Wit amazes, yet now and again muddles. In spite of splendor, a soil of wavering weakens the magnum opus' strength.

Arkham series
The Batman Arkham series is without question the most flawless videogame franchise in history. This series, should be the gold standard for videogames. A great story across many games and even the comics, great mechanics, great voice acting, and a franchise that always upped the ante with each new release.

Harry Potter
The most popular book in modern literature owes its success to a magical fantasy story of wizardry, good and evil, innocence and experience, and ultimately, life and death. Harry's story teaches us invaluable lessons about the importance of persistence, never ever giving up, and loyalty, staying true to your friends.
