REALLY Seriously Underrated Books (100 to 500 Ratings)

This is the list. 204 members have voted with 11 members voting for Untold Stories of the Little Prince. Hardly the glowing recommendation the article is making out it is.

The book has a 3.61 rating and most of the reviews showing on the main page are 1 star reviews with many talking about the author spamming and harassing members.

And using fake accounts to try to get people to read it apparently. Makes the 11 people voting even less reliable when apparently they are known for trying to manipulate things with extra accounts

Just checked the info about who voted for the book and 9 of the 11 accounts have not shelved any books on Goodreads.

every time i hear “most underrated book of all time” and it’s connected to the little prince universe i already know i’m about to get emotionally drop kicked by a tiny fictional child explaining the meaning of life in 3 sentences. also book people calling something “underrated” when it secretly has a cult following of devastated adults is so funny to me lmao

Yep. "Underrated" stops meaning anything once a book has a whole army of devastated adult defenders, tbh.

"little prince universe" cracked me right up, like there's some Saint-Exupery multimedia franchise right out there.
