Guessing Books by Their One-Star Reviews

from The Lit Society Book Club · host Scarlett and Jenae

In this episode, we guess books based on their one-star reviews. We read some of the most dramatic, harsh, and occasionally unhinged critiques, try to figure out which book they’re about, and talk through why these stories inspired such strong reactions in the first place.Join us in February as we read Everything Is Tuberculosis by John Green. Blending history, science, and personal storytelling, Green traces the long and complicated story of tuberculosis—past and present, while asking bigger questions about global health, inequality, and what we owe one another in the face of preventable suffering.
