How do you find a book with bad reviews?

[Sarah]

I am finding this harder than I thought it would be. I tried to find a list of 1-star reviewed books on Goodreads, but had no luck. I also tried to figure out how to do it on Amazon, but I ending up with the 5-star ratings at the begining of the list and no way to get to the bottom unless I went page by page. Any ideas?

There are some classics that hit bad reviews. When I Googled, I got a list of about ten. Lolita is one, as is The Great Gatsby. I am also asking my local librarian who is searching for me.

I found my book by searching Amazon, however I searched titles I knew I wanted to read or was looking into getting in my case I own a book title A Reliable Wife and when I looked on Amazon it has pretty bad reviews and that's the book I'll be using now.

Thanks for sharing! This will be helpful I'm sure.

This made me laugh out loud in a few cases and, as there were a couple of titles in here I already had on my To Read list (at least out of curiosity), I will almost certainly select from this list:

Oh no, I may have to read that Morrissey book now...

Yeah, if I can find it I'd like to read it too, even if it is "a potential firelighter of vanity, self-pity and logorrhoeic dullness"

Several copies immediately available from my library... so it will be easily had when I want it.

Maybe you can find a used copy for a buck - or maybe they will pay you to take it!

I'll check our library system; later. I have sooooo many books to finish right now!

These are books that have been given 1-star reviews. Some are due to ignorance, literalism, or immaturity; but some are hilarious and make me want to read them. Some of my favorites are in here, too. http://onestarbookreview.tumblr.com

I'm reading Fifty Shades of Grey for that category, which most definitely has gotten plenty of bad reviews.

I read a book that was disappointing, and sure enough it had bad reviews. Voila!

Seveneves, by Neal Stephenson. Sigh.
