Are there any?


message 2: by Nika (new)

Nika Jap, the vampire diaries 5 - end... They are really, really, really bad imo..


Cate (The Professional Fangirl) (chaostheory08) | 74 comments Life After Life by Kate Atkinson (made my eyes glaze over so much)

The Coldest Girl in Coldtown by Holly Black (save yourself, there are better vampire fiction out there)


message 4: by [deleted user] (new)

Anyone under 16: I definitely do NOT recommend Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist. There is a lot of swearing (a LOT) and a lot of stuff you don't need to be reading yet.

Hmmmm.....I have a ton.

Aw, I liked this. I can understand why you'd think this though. The start of the book isn't that engaging.

I'm sorry but, Anne Frank's diary. No.

:/ Sorry Cate. I just don't like it.

That's ok. :) I looked at my notes when I read this and I put there, "Something should happen in a few pages, right?" And I was already at 30% lol.

Lol. That's exactly how I feel. The writing is especially bothering me. It feels kind of rushed and sloppy. Well, to me anyway. *shrugs*

It's really a matter of opinion.

Caru Ignite Me (Shatter Me, #3) by Tahereh Mafi all characters were horrible.Nothing happened.And it was just ewwwwwww
Matched (Matched, #1) by Ally Condie Nothing happened . Horrible characters. It was boring.

Banned | 2 comments I have one that I sat through maybe two chapters and I couldn't read anymore. 3 Willows: The Sisterhood Grows It confused me to no end.


Cate (The Professional Fangirl) (chaostheory08) | 74 comments I've been going back and forth on the Tahereh Mafi books/series. For every good review I read, there's 1-2 negative ones.

Don't let the amazing cover fool you. This. Book. Sucked.


Cate (The Professional Fangirl) (chaostheory08) | 74 comments Hahaha, don't judge by the book by its cover indeed.


message 16: by Caru (new)

Caru @Cate....Shatter Me and Unravel Me were great but Ignite Me was horrible


message 17: by H (new)

H (hmmm77) @Carina haha that's almost the exact opposite of what i thought :) i liked the first two but the 3ed one was the best

Enchanted (Woodcutter Sisters #1) by Alethea Kontis



Just don't even waste your time on this one. Confusing and just plain awful. ( I am deeply sorry for any lovers of this book )


message 20: by Maryanne (new)

Maryanne | 131 comments Don't read a book that you don't like....
Maybe Twilight, and the third book of Hunger Games... many people didn't like it. (Mocking Jay).


Cate (The Professional Fangirl) (chaostheory08) | 74 comments ^ I agree that Mockingjay wasn't as good as the first two but in a trilogy, you kinda had to read the 3rd one. Or at least skim it if it sucks lol.

Alyssa (castleofglass) | 5 comments I am the messenger I Am the Messenger by Markus Zusak
This book was a waste of paper. It was really choppy and the characters were flat and terrible


message 23: by Maryanne (new)

Maryanne | 131 comments Die for me series are amazing, I loved them!
All of the three books were really good. (It's a great trilogy).

I just couldn't get into the mindset of the main character, so many mixed messages.


message 25: by Miriam (new)

Miriam | 20 comments Evermore - To typical of girl has a crush on new boy, who seems mysterious.

The Rush - Really didn't get this book. It was just awful.


message 26: by Maryanne (new)

Maryanne | 131 comments I liked Evermore, they were good.

Don't turn around: too many perspectives, and confusions...


message 27: by Miriam (new)

Miriam | 20 comments I started reading Evermore but it wasn't for me.
Just a matter of opinion :)

The Dollhouse Asylum by Mary Gray
Never read it. Don't. This book. Stupid. Crazy. I hate it. Don't read it.


message 31: by Ashley (new)

Ashley | 40 comments Stay away from Witch and Wizard by James Patterson. The first one was actually decent but after that it went really bad really fast.


message 32: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer Ashley, I'm so glad you posted that. I read the first book Witch and Wizard and thought it was all right and I think I read the next two books but I can't tell you a single thing about 'em. I realized I just didn't care about the characters, plot or ending. I rarely refuse to finish a series when I've started but I just couldn't do it.


message 33: by Ashley (new)

Ashley | 40 comments At Jennifer yeah I agree! I can't even touch the forth one because I can barely remember the previous books.


message 34: by J (new)

J | 28 comments Usually I don't like bagging books, cos opinions are so subjective...
But I have to say don't read Across the Universe by Beth Revis
(I also don't like ruining the prefacing statement with the word 'but', but I did it anyway...)


message 35: by Andi (new)

Andi McGreevy | 1 comments I recently finished Winter's Tale and definitely would not recommend it at all! The movie came out in Feb and my book club I watching the movie soon. Hopefully the movie will be better!!


message 36: by Rey (new)

Rey | 4 comments Graceling--- didn't like it

It builds up to an awaited 'great plot and mastermind villain' but the villain is killed in two seconds flat upon close meeting. I kid you not.
