Taylor | 1735 comments Everyone has that book they hate. Rant about them here, but please keep it civilised/clean. Keep cursing to a minimum, and no fighting AT ALL. You may have friendly debates, though. Everyone has opinions, so please respect that.
Also, use spoiler tags of you are talking about spoilers.

The book I hate the most would probably be The Maze Runner by James Dashner. I did not see the hype about this book at all, and I felt incredibly let down. The main character Thomas was very unlikeable, the speech they used in The Glade was confusing. Overall it was a terrible excuse for a book.
(Sorry if I offended anyone who did like this book. This is my opinion and I just did not like this book one bit.)

All witchcraft books! I CAN'T STAND THEM!

Jess | 29 comments After by Anna Todd, I couldn't find anything good or possitive in it, and I really tried but it is just terrible in every possible way, from the way it is written to the message it gives. The whole saga is just a waste of paper, in my opinion.


message 4: by Victoria (new)

Victoria (victoriammd) I hated The Virgin Suicides, I didn't see what was the big thing about it. Most of the time the book is just whining boys who are in love with girls that don't care about them. I really had a problem with it considering it's kind of a classic, but I didn't see why. The writing isn't that exceptional and the story, as we say in France "casse pas trois pattes à un canard", which means it isn't that extraordinary. Anyway, sorry to anyone who loved the book.

There are these two books that I had to read in school; Benny and Omar and Came Back to Show you I could fly. Soooooo boring! They were so annoying, and then we had to do stuff on them in class! Ugh! Get better books!

I know! If they're going to make us do stuff on those books, they need to be good books to keep our interest.


message 10: by Taylor (new)

Taylor | 1735 comments I loved Gone Girl! But I agree that there was a lot of profanity in it.


message 11: by Victoria (new)

Victoria (victoriammd) I loved it too, but I didn't find it that vulgar, maybe it's the fact that I curse a lot myself!


message 12: by Taylor (new)

Taylor | 1735 comments @Victoria I use the word f*ck and sh*t way too much, it's a nasty habit.


message 13: by Victoria (new)

Victoria (victoriammd) Me too! Except that in French we have a lot of colorful expressions containing a lot of curse words or that are vulgar, but I love them!

Haha wow. I haven't read Gone Girl yet.


message 15: by Taylor (new)

Taylor | 1735 comments It's great. Yeah a few sex scenes but otherwise really good. Of course, that's my opinion.


message 16: by Victoria (new)

Victoria (victoriammd) I agree with Taylor!


message 17: by Francesca (new)

Francesca | 22 comments I'm sorry but I really hate The Fault in Our Stars and, also, Bridget Jones's Diary. I have reviewed both and given reasons for disliking them but they're definitely the two books I've read that I just really can't stand. I thought Bridget Jones lacked any likable characters, they were all either annoying, whiny, horrible, or bland. I thought TFIOS also lacked likable characters (to me) because I found Hazel and Augustus too pretentious and annoying, and neither of them spoke like teenagers. I also didn't like the cigarette metaphor thing because I thought it was silly, and I thought a lot of the deep thoughts just sounded a bit too forced and didn't flow into the story as well as they could've.

Sydney (sydneyxo) | 1 comments I really really hate Eleanor and park. Not only is the book hard to get into, it's quite racist as well.


message 19: by Margaret (new)

Margaret Cunningham | 7 comments Hate would be too strong a word for how I felt about Girl on the Train...but I had read so many good reviews I was really looking forward to reading it...and......I have never felt so let down by any book...definitely would not be on my list of recommendations.....GOTT lovers, please don't hate me. :)


message 20: by [deleted user] (new)

Hmmm....I very rarely say the word hate...but there is a few that I would say that for...
The Betrayal of Natalie Hargrove
Before I Fall
Once in a Full Moon
Going Underground
A Crack in the Line
Raven

I guess I don't really mind his books. I loved Looking For Alaska and TFIOS.

JoAlice depressing books


Amanda-I dream of a gallant southern gentleman watching the sunset | 258 comments I'm sorry, but I don't like chasing the prophecy, book three of the beyonders, or chapter 30 of that book, called justice. I liked all the other books. But, ok, I really would have liked the book if (view spoiler)


Amanda-I dream of a gallant southern gentleman watching the sunset | 258 comments I also hate The House of Hades, all because of (view spoiler)

I agree with you about TFIOS. Augustus seemed like an annoying prick to me. And his whole thing about the cigarette being a metaphor seemed stupid to me because a tobacco company couldn't care less if you smoke it. As long as you buy the cigarette they are getting a profit. Also, to me, John Green's books are a bit repetitive.


message 28: by JoAlice (new)

JoAlice I hate books where I get attached to somebody and they die.

Aneta Hello Everyone

Hate is a strong word but I don't like romances, like Danielle Steel's books, sorry...

I would like to invite you to visit my blog where I review books. Hope you will enjoy the reading.

Fabrina | 1 comments hahaha..i am loving this....
ok, i hate all self-help books. I never finished one, so i gave up.


message 31: by Margaret (new)

Margaret Cunningham | 7 comments Update...I have just finished reading something worse that Girl on the Train....It's called The Loving Husband....So sorry I wasted my valuable time and money on this book...I kept reading hoping it would get better, but alas it never did, From the start I took a dislike to Fran the main character...how can a woman in these days not know what her husband is doing at least for his job of work??? She was such a wuss I just wanted her gone...none of the characters were likable, which would have been a help. I could say a lot more but I actually just want to forget that I~ wasted time on such rubbish.


message 32: by [deleted user] (new)

Everyone told me that I should read Eleanor and Park but Jesus Christ it was terrible! I found the characters bland and unconvincing. It was like the author was trying to make one of those quirky YA books that were popular at the time a la John Green but it just did not work for me.
