My best: "The highest I can rate it is five. However to me, this is one of the best books I have read in years. It will be a long time before another book will be able to take it's place." and so on. It is on Amazon.
My worst: It wasn't a review. I had an advertisement up for this same book on a facebook page(Gastien Part 1) and a reader typed below it "This book is no good!". Gee, thanks for helping out my ad! I did comment in that case, since it was an ad, saying that I was sorry she didn't enjoy it, not everyone likes any book and that I was sure that she would find many books to enjoy on the site. She then apologized, saying she didn't realize that I was advertising, that she thought someone else posted it, etc etc. and I simply said again, don't worry about it, you should feel free to tell people about books, no one pleases everyone and I get that (or some such things). Which is definitely true. I just wish she wouldn't have picked my ad to make a comment!
I recognized her, as she had given it 2 stars on Goodreads and had simply said "I would not recomment this book." I checked her other reviews and she gave 2 stars to things like Diary of a Young Girl, Streetcar Named Desire, and THe Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. One stars? The Crucible and The Vampire Lestat to name a few.
I figured I was in pretty good company seeing those.
Thankfully the book has 27 reviews on Amazon and the worst is 3 stars. It holds a 4.3 rating on there and a 4.27 with 33 ratings on Goodreads. It just shows that what pleases one person is another's "bad book". Oh, and I am sure there will be some 1 and 2's coming at some point. If not, not enough people are reading it.
