Curious ? what’s your LEAST favorite book?!
Thought I would change it up ?
I don’t know if I have a book I absolutely detest, but I read The Crown by Kiera Cass this year and was fed up on how spoiled Eadlyn was. I’m so glad I finished the series so I wouldn’t read it anymore ?
Omg I hated her!!!! I wish I didn’t even pick up the last two because it’s so unnecessary
@Dana I’ve always told people that the last two books should have been novellas
OMG I love Phillipa Gregory but I read Wideacre and felt like I needed to bleach my brain and soul afterwards. So much ick happening in that book.
Haha, I loved those books. It was like a nasty scandalous situation I couldn’t get enough of.
Ugh. I could barely get through the first one. I was so uncomfortable. I read horror frequently but there was literally not one thing in that book that I found redeeming. Couldn’t imagine trying to read the rest. So so much ick.
@April I like being uncomfortable ?
Looking for alaska
I loved that one!
@Nicole I hate every single thing about it hahah
Haha well that’s just a bummer!!! Lol
I liked it but omg way too overrated if you ask me.
Probably The Atlas of Love. I finished it simply because I don’t like starting a book and not finishing it, but it took me forever to get through because I couldn’t get into it at all.
Origin? ******possible Origin spoiler************
Although I can’t truly say that because I dnfed it when she added the love interest. I don’t really know which to say. I dnf all the books that piss me off ?
Never ever even think about reading (Never Never) trilogy by Colleen Hoover
And the fallen series by Lauren Kate
Really? I’m a huge CoHo fan but I haven’t read anything from that trilogy…I do have them on my Kindle. Were they really that bad?
@Anna i love all the books Colleen Hoover wrote and she’s like my favorite contemporary author and that’s why I picked up Never Never, it was good at the beginning but then it ended up being ridiculous , likee reaaallyyyy realllyyy ridiculous
I thought Ugly Love was a shit storm of depression disguised as angst
@Tricia try reading Confess
After I read Confess and Ugly Love I thought I was going to need therapy lol.
@Anna confess was my favorite ♥️ and when I watched the tv show I loved it even more
Yes! I hope the show comes back..I haven’t heard anything yet about it though?
I’d say Lord of the Flies takes the cake. Nothing but very, very freaky acid trip cover to cover.
Oooh yes!!!! So true!!! I couldn’t read that one in school!
Miss Peregrine’s Home for peculiar children by Ransom Riggs, and Tortilla Flatt by John Steinbeck
I liked miss peregrines! Not my favorite, but still enjoyed it.
@Nicole I wanted to like it because it was an interesting concept, but unfortunately there was so much I hated. And then it put me into a reading slump for 8 months ?
Another Faust or or Lord of the fading lands.
All the Crooked Saints by Maggie Stiefvater ? I hate admitting defeat.
Yes I’m with you on this one. I couldn’t even finish it. I tried yesterday to read more of it as I don’t like not finishing a book even if I’m not that into it. But I still cant do it.
Echo city. First book I couldn’t finish.
Forrest Gump. The movie was good but I hated the book. Or Lord of the Flies.
Hated Lord of the Flies
Saaaaame
Anything by George Orwell
Throne of Glass and There’s Someone Inside Your House
Flat Broke with Two Goats. It was promoted by the local library. Yuck!!
In 10th grade english we had to read like 6 books throughout the year. Most were decent, and there was 1 I really loved, but there was also a book I hated. Monster by Walter Dean Myers. I think part of it was just the format. I’d never read a book in transcript type format, and part of it was that it just wasn’t interesting to me.
The fifth season
Kindred, Octavia Butler. I had to read it for my English class in freshman year and that book made me want to beat myself over the head with an aluminum bat until it caved. Followed by Everything Everything, to which I hated the lead role and writing style both with a passion
Maybe the last Twilight book. I just remembering wanting it to be OVER.
Vampire Academy! I forced myself to read every book in that series but I just remember hating it all ?
This is hard because when I read a bad book it then gets blocked from my brain and I barely remember it lol. My latest hate-it book was To Kill a Kingdom
I was just about to read that ?
You may like it! Lol most people did
I hated it too
Abundance of Katherine
YES!!!! I was just about to type this. I can’t get through it.
@Shelby me either lol
YES – I hated it. Couldn’t get past like chapter 2!
Johnny got his gun. A nightmare inducing trauma story that was required reading at my high school.? I also can’t read anything by Henry James without wanting to throw it out the window or worse.
Evermore by Alyson Noel. I just hated it.
the martian, forgive me leonard peacock, people like us, this is where it ends, eleanor and park, its kind of a funny story… etc lol
Anything ever written by John Steinbeck or Hemingway. Teaching that boring, depressing-ass sh!t in schools makes kids hate reading.
Uhhhh maybe Allegiant. It was like Roth was a different person. Knew it wasn’t going to end well when the dual perspectives started ?
The Catcher in the Rye – hated it.
One Day by David Nichols ?
The chemist by Stephanie Meyer
City of halves by lucy inglis. It absolutely sucks.
CARSICK by John Waters
H20 by virginia bergin
How has no one mentioned 50 Shades or The Twilight Series?
I mentioned a Twilight book.
@Tricia I must have missed that. 🙂 It was a franchise my kids made me watch the movies and I was like well maybe the books will be better…..nope.
Twilight wasn’t terrible. And, really, we can thank Twilight for paving the way for a thriving YA industry. It was the stepping stone to create the category in a world that was once only adult vs children. Like anything (think titanic) that had massive commercial success, people got burnt out on it. Add to that the movies and…well, ya know.
As far as 50 shades go – can’t hate it if you never read it ?
The book I was unable to finish because it was that boring, American Gods. ??
Unpopular opinion time: I really didn’t like The Raven Boys, A Court of Thorns and Roses, Dante and Aristotle Discover the Secrets of the Universe, Cursed Child and Shatter me
Okay. Haven’t read any of those except Cursed Child, and I’m surprised that hasn’t come up before! I’m the BIGGEST Harry potter fan and I so did NOT enjoy Cursed Child. So sad actually.
@Nicole It was TERRIBLE. I wrote a long review about it but it was ridiculously disappointing and honestly laughable
So. Spoiler alert for anyone who hasn’t read it!!!!
I was listening to a podcast last week talking about it and they mentioned Voldemort’s kid. And I was like… wait… he had a child?! I remember everything I read and I think I just hated this so much I blocked it out!! ? bc I have no recollection of that, and it’s kind of a big thing!!!
I’ll post my review I wrote for goodreads here. It’s a bit long. I really didn’t like this play, and I dislike it the more I think about it. I realize that in many ways this is on me. I don’t enjoy reading plays, and I went into this with pretty high expectations. Something about not having the rich context that comes with details about the wizarding world felt a bit empty. I didn’t feel the magic. I 100% believe that I would enjoy the live performance.
On top of that, I thought the whole storyline with time travel and Voldemort once again just felt tired. I wanted to flesh out the new characters and let them have their individual chance to shine, instead of rehash things that happened in past books that frankly felt half baked in this play. Also WHERE is Teddy Lupin??? Overall it didn’t have the elegance and wit that I think the Harry Potter books have.
A couple of dumb quotes:
“Engorgio….
Nice. Consider me engorgimpressed”
“Scorpius: Wow. Squeak. My geekness is a-quivering.”
Also I choose to read Albus and Scorpius’s relationship as absolutely gay. Too much queerbating, ugghhhhh
I highly encourage listening to the Witch, Please podcast episodes about this play (http://ohwitchplease.ca/). This really enriched my experience and they are just such good readers with amazing insight.
Some points made in Witch Please that I thought were especially interesting and important to include:
– Albus blocking his aunt with his hips and kissing her (wow sexual assault), this is, I assume, supposed to be seen as comical but really is disturbing
– (according to the teenage narrative) It’s Ron’s jealousy that is the driving factor that leads to Hermione and Ron never marrying in the alternate timeline. If Hermione isn’t seen as desirable in context of being with another man, Ron isn’t actually interested in her and Hermione will never meet another partner. Yikes.
Of course they also make a lot of wonderful points that make you really think about the dimensions of the text under a feminist lense but since I’m particularly biased I’m not adding them here and emphasizing the importance of actually listening to the episodes.
Overall I left this reading feeling dissatisfied, but I would watch the live performance in a heartbeat.
WAT!?? A court of thorns and roses!?? Lol but I agree w/ you on everything else
I know :/ Here’s what I wrote for good reads:
I really, really wanted to like this book.
The two main male characters came off as really predatory – I really dislike the trope of an immortal man seducing a young woman – if you think about it, it’s pretty creepy.
Also – Feyre kills an important figure and then is swept away to a mystical land and a mansion where she’s an honored guest and they act like it’s a severe punishment ???
Anyway, it’s slow moving and I could feel the dreaded spiral of a reading slump pulling me down so I’m DNF’ing a book and it’s only the 4th day of the year.
^ utterly agree with this. Add to that an annoying MC and, yeah….
Darkness Before Dawn ;/
To all the boy’s I’ve loved before
Dorothy must die, it’s the only book I’ve EVER not finished.
Definitely Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad ! it was the wooorst 2days of my life .
The bone gap. Had a permanent wtf look on my face while i was reading it.
