Horrible. Would not recommend to my enemies much less my friends. They are the worst-poor books and even worse customer “support” (ha ha)

Books came in damaged. They lie about the pricing it is 12 dollars plus the cost of the books witch is twice the price of Amazon. Then you can't go in and cancel because the website does not work. If you want a supervisor you get told there is not one. Terrible company do business elsewhere. DO NOT WAST YOUR MONEY OR TIME ON THIS COMPANY.

My 11 yr old is a voracious reader, and I was hoping the monthly subscription would expand her horizons beyond the classics I give her and what our small town school and library have. The 5 "curated" books did do that, and at first we were excited. BUT ultimately it has been such a big disappointment to her that I know we will not continue once the year is up. It is set up as though it is responsive to the child's feedback through 2 mechanisms: rating the books you have received so far and a "book shuffle." After we did this a couple times, I reached out to Literati by email because her preferences seemed to not be taken into account. This was especially disappointing for her because she was excited about several of the books on her book shuffle that she rated highly. Several boxes later, she has received zero with any similarity to those. The themes continue to be dark and often violent, which she absolutely does not like. The person who responded to my email was completely unhelpful and indicated that there was no way to get any additional messages to whoever is doing the "curating." To sum up: The subscription so much potential, but unfortunately it has only built up my child's expectations and solicited her involvement only to ignore her feedback and be ultimately quite disappointing. She used to be so excited to open her box, and now we just sort of hope for 1 or 2 books that will be ok. We have a few boxes left so I will update if it changes, but I really cannot recommend it at this time.

I was very disturbed when I attended a Literati book fair at my child's elementary school this past year. The book selections seemed pretty inappropriate and a common theme seems to be death. I picked up a suspicious title and skimmed through it. I was horrified what I found. The book was called "Loki: A bad god's guide to being good". Inside there were depictions of the devil, this creature being chained up, and one page had a note that read "I'll give you a pass for planning to kill your family because you took it back quickly" On the same page it reads "I wonder if I can plot Valerie's death safely? I thought." I contacted Literati and they were unconcerned but said they would pass my message on to management. I contacted our school principal who removed the book immediately. Be careful what you're letting your kids read.

Once they get your credit card info, they make it almost impossible to cancel the account. No customer service, no communication, they just keep charging your card and send you junk. Horrible company.

As someone on here said id leave 0 stars if i could. I bought the books i wanted to keep and returned the rest,they are saying i returned them too late and charged me $60 dollars when i only bought 2 of the 5 books. The 2 books was $14,and the other 3 was apparently $60 when it should be $60 for all 5 so they overcharged me on top of it. I got this subscription thinking it was a good way to discover new books when i couldnt get to the library after just moving and they just scammed me out of $60+ i emailed customer service several times to resolve this or at least have the books sent back to me and they refuse to do ANYTHING.

I talked to customer service to cancel my order (before it shipped) due to not liking any of the books. I was asked multiple times in different ways if I would like to keep the subscription, which is frustrating and disrespectful. They also charged me after the fact that my subscription had been canceled. Not impressed at all. Please spend your money somewhere else.

We tried the book scubscription service via a promotion through our school, which we loved! We canceled because it was out of our price range, and were accidentally late turning in our last box and had to contact customer service. Sarah helped us get the box in the mail and notated our account for when it returned. They were very friendly and accessible via phone, and quick to respond via the webform, too, when Amber reached out because we had an additional issue. Sarah and Amber made a stressful situation less so, and I hope one day we can afford to participate in the book box subscription again. I've recommended it to all my friends with young readers.
