Gods yes. I read Throne of Glass and rolled my eyes the whole time. I couldn’t believe the character at all. And ACOTAR was okay but still nothing to write home about.
Jessica We will have to agree on disagreeing. Aslan of Narnia what an annoying fictional human being is Feyre? I have this violent tendencies when it comes to characters so darn boring such as her that makes me imagine me holding her from her legs and hitting a wall with her body. Just like the dormat(?) she seemed to me.
With ToG I’m not as much annoyed. Or, at least I wasn’t until half the second book. I’ll start the third soon enough which is supposed to be “better than the first two”. Considering they are the ones I actually liked, I believe I’m up to disappointment ?
Absolutely horrible writing. I got 3/4 of the way through ACOTAR before giving up and my friends say the rest of the series sucks even more. And don’t even get me started on the atrocity that is Throne of Glass ??
Honestly, I’m finding It hard to get into the Harry Potter books, maybe because I watched the movies first I cant exactly get my own picture in mind which is one thing I really enjoy when reading
It takes about 100 pages to get really good, but after that it’s amazing. One of my favorite books. It’s always sad when others didn’t like one of your favorite books but that’s what is so fun about reading also. Everyone has their own unique tastes.
@Linda Ihad to read it a couple times but I do think they say it was a recording but they aren’t sure how she was able to do it. (I will have to double check though!)
Yeah it’s classic Atwood though. She uses metafiction as a device a fair amount, most notably in The Blind Assassin, and if you’re not familiar with it as a device it absolutely will catch you off guard!
Love in the Time of Cholera The following books , I didn’t hate them but didn’t live up to all the hype they received The Girl on the Train The Woman in Cabin 10 The Woman in the Window Gone Girl
Looking for Alaska Three Dark Crowns The Kite Runner The Hunger Games trilogy (couldn’t get passed Catching Fire) Divergent (couldn’t get passed Insurgent) The 5th Wave
Twilight series, Harry Potter, Eat Pray Love, The Handmaid’s Tale, To Kill A Mockingbird, The Celestine Prophecy, 50 Shades Of Grey, Orange Is The New Black, Anything by Dean Koontz, Neverwhere, we need to talk about Kevin, What Alice Forgot, Wicked, Me Before You, Bridget Jones’s Diary, Fight Club…
Final Girls the main character was annoying & whiney as hell no idea how she was a “final girl” as stupid as she was after her incident. Also could have been about 100 pages shorter. I will say the ending was a surprise but that’s all it had going for it
The Catcher in the Rye. In my defense, I read it too late in life, and by that point Holden Caufield was unrelatable to me and came across like a complete ass.
Anything by Sarah J Maas.
I don’t hate, hate, but I get you. It’s mostly so darn boring! Why so many pages to tell such a simple story?
Gods yes. I read Throne of Glass and rolled my eyes the whole time. I couldn’t believe the character at all. And ACOTAR was okay but still nothing to write home about.

*Aslan.
@Morgan Feyre was alright in the 1st and part of the 2nd book but gods was Wings and Ruin a hit mess.
In Portuguese it was translated to “Aslam” so my corrector corrected² the “Aslan” I’d typed.

Honestly, I’m finding It hard to get into the Harry Potter books, maybe because I watched the movies first I cant exactly get my own picture in mind which is one thing I really enjoy when reading
I tried reading them before I watched the movie and I couldn’t get into them
Skip to the third book. The first two are kid books.
@Erin I read up to the 4th book and I was still bored. Probably just gonna sit on my shelf cause they’re pretty
Gone Girl
100% agree!
Noone loves it
@Zoha I love it sooo…
@Shannon really? This is my least favourite book.. movie is way better than the book
I love it haha
Rich dad poor dad
Rational optimist
A gentleman’s guide to vice and virtue.
I dnf’d it at 60 pages
Gone Girl and The Goldfinch.
American Gods
It was so boring!
Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
I couldn’t make it to chapter 4 in the book
It takes about 100 pages to get really good, but after that it’s amazing. One of my favorite books. It’s always sad when others didn’t like one of your favorite books but that’s what is so fun about reading also. Everyone has their own unique tastes.
Harry Potter, the infernal devices (I found it so dreadful to read this series like ugh)
Everything, everything.
Loved it!
Hated it! But I liked the movie.
The movie was good!
-Something Wicked This Way Comes by Ray Bradbury
-The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night by Mark Haddon
Agree with the second, couldn’t get into it at all
Loved the first. Though the writing was a little disjointed, that I will give you.
Girl on the train
13 reasons why
Room
American Psycho
Last 2 books in Dan Brown’s Robert Langdon series
Harry Potter because while I enjoy her world building, her writing was meh. A lot of unfinished plots.
Also the City of Bones had a really ridiculously out of touch idea on teenagers.
Fifty Shades of Grey was just awful. Awful writing, awful story, awful characters. I like my smut well written.
What is the well written smut ?
@Jayne christine warren and anne rices sleeping beauty series.
Everything by John Green and Sara Maas
Caraval.
I just do t get it. It’s horrible. It’s as if people were brainwashed.
The Corrections by Jonathan Franzen
Yeeees. I could not get into this book.
Girl with the dragon tattoo, the girl on the train, subtle art of not giving a fuck
To Kill A Mockingbird
Twilight. The idea was good but the writing and storyline were poorly executed
Don’t know if hate is the right word. More like confused beyond belief at the end of The Handmaiden’s Tale.
In what way?
Best I can explain has to be with a spoiler.
Was it a recording? Someone writing a story? The last part just came out of nowhere for me.
@Linda Ihad to read it a couple times but I do think they say it was a recording but they aren’t sure how she was able to do it. (I will have to double check though!)
Linda Greene Okay I just checked. Cassette tapes! (Admittedly it is pretty buried in there and the flash forward is pretty random.)
That’s the part that confused me I think. I might end up having to borrow the book again and try reading it to see if things are clearer for me.
@Linda it is pretty cryptic. I do remember reading that one chapter a few times to figure it out.
Basically they are reading a transcription of a tape. (This is the page before that where it explains a bit more.)
Yeah it’s classic Atwood though. She uses metafiction as a device a fair amount, most notably in The Blind Assassin, and if you’re not familiar with it as a device it absolutely will catch you off guard!
Yes first time reading anything like it.
Fair warning, it’s addictive. One of my absolute favourite literary devices.
It’s because it was presented as a document, it’s not a story.
ACOTAR
TOG 1 & 2 and 3rd one wasn’t that good either.
Gone Girl
Fangirl
Everything from Nicolas Sparks
I enjoyed Last Song, but everything else I’ve read was meh
? the one I tolerated is A Walk To Remember
Anything by Nicholas Sparks or John Green. I’m gonna give them each another try but eh.
Half Bad, The Selection, Aracana
Sorry to all you classic literature fans out there, but Pride and Prejudice. I cannot STAND that book; it’s just so paralyzingly boring.

I felt the same way about high fidelity
I hated Catcher in the Rye too! And I was a teenager when I read it ?
Both series by Sarah J Maas….
