Amazon reviews of life

I came across this tweet by Sam Sykes a few days ago:

Pretend you are on your deathbed. With your last amount of energy, you are able to give an Amazon review of life. What do you give it?

Some of the responses were great:

@SamSykesSwears Life experience received was not life experience advertised. Two out of five stars.

@SamSykesSwears 1 star: Not enough sex, too much violence.

— Ellie Di Julio (@EllieDiJulio) April 6, 2015

@SamSykesSwears 2 stars, too similar to 4 billion other works already published.

@EllieDiJulio @SamSykesSwears Three stars. Lots of fresh twists and turns, but the pacing is just terrible.

“The driving part sucked.” ❤

@SamSykesSwears 2.5 stars: there is some great stuff (parenthood, beer, orgasms) but so much is just bullshit filler The driving part sucked

For those of us still trying to figure it all out, there’s hope:

@SamSykesSwears 4 stars. Not sure of its original purpose but really came into its own after a decade or two. Would definitely recommend.

If he finds the link, I hope he lets us all know where it is:

@SamSykesSwears 5 stars, would buy again… Can I please buy again? Can't seem to find the link…

One of my absolute favorites:

@SamSykesSwears Was promised unicorns, none so far – 1 star

— Megan Elphick (@bewarethenestor) April 6, 2015

But I think this one is the best.

@SamSykesSwears 5 stars, I wrote my own story and lived it the way I wanted! Who could ask for more?

Wouldn’t we all love to be able to leave that review?

I’d love to hear your answers to the question.

So, what would be your Amazon review of life?
