MummysLilGremlin answers “Why is even the rating of this book so...”

A Goodreads user asked this question about The Selection (The Selection, #1):

Why is even the rating of this book so high? I'm like 100% sure I will give it a 1 star if I read it.

Lol seriously its naive and immature to assume a targeted age group or genre of book will be appreciated by everyone. I seriously couldn't believe all the people cussing out this person and telling them that they are uncultured
Or trolling....aren't they do the same by coming on here just to bad mouth a stranger who....gasp....disagree with their opinion. More than half of these people left comments just to be nasty because they could, some of the comments were honest people talking about their experiences with this book. Shame on you for thinking that its acceptable to be horrible to a stranger (this is exactly what I hate about FB) who has a different opinion than you....that's the definition of a bully.
PS- " judging a book by its cover" isn't what this person was doing, second of all the WHOLE reason people make pretty book covers is so when someone sees this book they will do exactly that(less)
