Did any of the people who gave 1 star actually read it? It seems mostly like people trolling.

It usually is. I'm noticing republican-leaning readers simply cannot allow any liberal-leaning books to even exist without having to give them 1 star. It's so childish.

It's not very fair as Michelle really does hate politics, her book is a liberal or conservative book its just about being an amazing human

Some of those one-star and two-star reviews were posted BEFORE the book hit the bookstores (on November 13th). Anyone other than a brainless Trump zombie could easily figure out they didn't read it.
Hung
I'm tempted to Flag the posts that clearly stated that they have not read the book and only it rated low due to difference of political belief.
Is that censorship? Or is it better to let people vent?

I think most intelligent, discerning readers can tell when a book is being downgraded by a group with an agenda. I don't let the reviews dissuade me, I read the book.

On the bright side, most of those are so blatant in their hatred for the Obamas that it is easy to spot.
Judith
She has a very selective memory. When the book is not specifically about her, it is Democrats good and Republicans terrible. I gave it 3 stars and read it cover to cover .
