A friend once said that 'with every dumb book you read, you'll crave something hard-hitting.'
So thank you, Twitterature, for allowing me to return to reading good books once again...

This was such a disappointment. I gave the second star pretty much only for the idea behind it, because that idea should have resulted in a really cool book. But it didn't.
There are a few lines that made me laugh, but mostly the writers just think they're being a lot more witty than they actually are, going for easy jokes instead of actual parody.
This would have been a 4 or 5 star book if (someone with a sense of humor and talent for parody like) Cleolinda had written it.

Buying this book is a mistake.The content is funny but it is a waste of money.
This is the literary equivalent of OK magazine: mildly entertaining and vaguely offensive. A clever idea but I think I'm a little dumber for having read it.
The idea behind this book is just epic.
I enjoyed it SO much, I was constantly laughing literally out loud, though its probably only really entertaining when you've read the majority of the original works Twitterature deals with!
(my favs: Hamlet, Sherlock Holmes, The Odysee.. and everything else!)
Its also a very very fast read, so its ideal to read and re-read whenever you're feeling down and need a little ridiculous cheering up.

I figured I'd better get this out of the way before all the jokes are dated by Twitter's new character limit. I feel like I ought to be the ideal candidate for this, but it's... meh. A lot of the selections are a little obscure-- I'm a huge nerd, but I've never heard of a handful of these, and even some I'd heard of relied on a more intimate knowledge of the text to work. A little disappointing, with jokes that were obvious at times and mean at others.
Ever wonder what Robinson Crusoe would tweet (he’s twitter name is @iamnotgilligan) about? Probably not, but wouldn’t it be interesting to read? Now you can. Twitterature is a book that takes some of the greatest novels and converts it into a twitter account. All those great books in literature converted into little updates, 140 characters of less. Surprisingly it is very amusing and a lot of fun to read; especially if you’ve read the original. They are some great novels in this book such as;
* Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll
* The Catcher in the Rye by J. D. Salinger
* Dracula by Bram Stoker
* Emma by Jane Austen
* Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
* Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain
* The Inferno by Dante
* Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë
* Paradise Lost by John Milton
* The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde
* Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
* Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe
* Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë
