Reply to comment by Fantastic-Ad7752 in How do you rate your books on Goodreads? by pensieve64

Basically how I look at it too. I think the only books I've rated 1 star were books I was forced to read for schoolwork and hated. There are some others I dislike so much I couldn't finish them but I feel like I shouldn't give a rating for a book when I haven't read the whole thing

I hesitate to rate any book a 1 since I think you can usually find some redeeming quality in any book, even if you might not like it.

The synopsis seems like a standard thriller. What's so bad about it compared to other books in that genre?

The plot didn't make sense, the characters were very basic, racist slurs, constant references to and then there were none by Agatha Christie (I'm talking blatant and every other page) and the whole reason behind the plot was, frankly, astounding levels of ridiculous.

It's been a long time since I've hated a book that much lol
