The Nooks of Books discussion

For me-



And many more...

Twilight( I haven't actually read the whole thing because I couldn't get through it)
The Hunger Games
Divergent

I don't think the Hunger Games and Divergent are terrible, they just don't deserve the hype they've gotten.

Blood of Olympus
Chasing Redbird

The Book Thief (had too high expectations)
Tried to read The Notebook, but ten pages in and it was so boring... (Probably going to read it and get it off my currently-reading list...)
Alice in Zombieland (thought it was going to be about alice going to a land full of zombies, but nah...)
Capital (I don't think it was "suited" for teenagers, and it was sooo boring...)

I thought The Hunger Games and Divergent were good and interesting, but I don't understand why everyone obsessed over them.

Yeah. I guess they don't quite fit this thread. I thought the first Divergent book was okay, but I really didn't like the others. I really didn't like the Hunger Games very much

That's ok I haven't read Catching fire, Mockingjay, or Alligent, yet.

The Hunger Games(for a personal reason when it came to reading book 1 became to much for me, I still have to read book 2 and 3)
Twilight(I won't even touch that series with a ten foot pole, VAMPIRES DO NOT SPARKLE!)
Divergent(I got half way through the second one and just uh to much for me in my opinion an I still have to read the last one just to get it off my list)

Those are my thoughts not much else in popular books I have read yet to even list.

For me, the most popular book that I have read that other love that I dislike a lot is The Book Thief. I personally found the story to be bland for the most part and I really dislike Death's narration a lot since it was really too dark for my taste.

Same for me :(

Oh really? I LOVE that book. I really like how it is from the POV of Death. I really think that's a cool concept plus I love books about the war so.

I personally dont think the fault In our stars deserves all that much hype. I mean it wasn't bad but it definitely was a "life-changing book" or "favorite book of all time" It was just meh.

I totally agree.

The Blood Of Olympus
I waited in anticipation for almost a year and it was completely disappointing.All the hype is only because fans really needed an ending and there it was.

Agreed!!!

Could not finish, made it to chapter ten and my brain felt like it was rotting



...Just.... RAGE. (view spoiler)[I was rooting for the zombies. GO BRAIN HUNGRY ZOMBIES GO! (hide spoiler)]


Also...


The Fault in Our Stars, couldn't finish.

Fifty Shades of Grey
The Fault in Our Stars

Twilight, The Iron Queen and The Perks of Being a Wallflower. I really don't get the fuss about these books.

twilight and The Hunger Games

Gone Girl is one that springs to mind.

Shatter me

Fifty Shades Trilogy (One word: UGH!)

I agree! Sparkling vampires were a little too much :P

And that was a Twilight fanfict too

Currently Reading Mockingjay. I expected more out of The Hunger Games. The movies make the story seem so intense and interesting, but it's just... Meh. The Divergent Series was good, but meh as well. The Fault In Our Stars would have been a good book if people didn't hype it up for me.

The House of Night series was so bad that I couldn't even finish through the third book... There's more than 5 books to the series

Shatter Me is another series that didn't exceed my expectations. People are crazy over this series, yet I could easily put the book down and read another...

I deleted my previous comment. I didn't see the 'worst' in the title. My bad.

Mafi makes John Green's metaphors look normal
