Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

On Amazon, I tend to follow the age old dictum of keeping negative opinions to myself, however in the instance of "Whipping Boy", I feel as though it's my moral duty as a reader of reasonably good conscience to warn readers not to waste their time, as I did, on "Whipping Boy." If the author suffered daily beatings and humiliation at the hands of a thug, then sought out confirmation later in life of the thug's personal failures, I could somewhat understand that. It's perhaps a waste of time and I would personally suggest to anyone to get some therapy or let go of their resentment, but we're all human and trying to get through the struggle of life as best we know ho, so I'll make allowances. However, IMO, the offense that the author experienced at the hands of his nemesis was so insignificant that I had to re-read the "Jesus Christ Superstar" scene again to make sure I hadn't missed anything. It's possible that Holocaust survivors and MOSSAD agents who pursued their Nazi perpetrators with less zeal for justice and revenge than the author went after his tormentor. Had the author lived my life as a preternaturally skinny kid in high testosterone Alabama, I don't think he would've survived with his sanity intact. He would've been so consumed by the offenses of not one, but a multitude of bullies over the course of years, not just one incident. The Jesus Christ Superstar incident warrants a years long search for the bully, then an entire book about the experience? And this insignificant transpired at an exclusive, elite boarding school in Switzerland, not the Warsaw Ghetto; consequently, that makes it even more difficult to sympathize with the author. For these reasons, the author revealed far more about their own shortcomings of character, rather than anything insightful and useful to the reader. Although Cesar Augustus turned out to be a con-man, at least he was interesting. OK, rant over. Obviously I need to take my own advice and let go of being conned out of time and money.
