Hilarious Amazon Reviews That Will Have You Laughing for Days

This reviewer was on a noble mission: to find a sophisticated, “more adult” book about trains to read to their 7-year-old. Unfortunately, they accidentally ordered a full-fledged nonfiction tome on railroad history — and were immediately dismayed by its “poor layout” and “lack of pictures.”

They confess, “I didn’t read the book,” but they knew instantly that it was far too “advanced” for bedtime. Their son, apparently a train connoisseur who considers Thomas the Tank Engine “degrading,” was unimpressed. The review concludes with understated finality: “I will be returning the book.” A literary tragedy in motion.
