Most Disappointing Books

[Gisbelle]

lol... I hate starting a series and have to give up because of its being boring!

[Sapir]

I actually liked Shiver.
I know that a lot of people dislike this book, and it annoyed me at times, but generally I enjoyed it very much.

The problem for me was I don't have the right kind of sense of humor for Croak. For that you have to laugh at the morbid and see the funny in making fun of how people died. Also I don't remember Death being a character. I did start to skim halfway through though.

[Gisbelle]

So Croak, as you guys were talking about, is similar to (actually a pretty decent book)

[Gisbelle]

Oh, Sarajayne, it is a beautiful book (more than just a book with pretty cover) :D I loved it!

[Jojobean]

with the summary of the book, I was expecting some horror serial killer fun. I was not prepared for the stupidness of this book

I also agree with Mara, that Envy by Greg Olsen was disappointing. Then ending defeated the whole purpose of the book being called a murder mystery.

The characters i didn't expect to die....(view spoiler)[ died. (hide spoiler)] but i still give it 4 stars because of the epilogue. Lol

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

I was very disappointed in MockingJay as well! I expected more from that book!

[Mehsi]

I have had that a few times. One of the recent ones would be . I heard so much good things about it. Finally found it at my library, and went to read it. The start was good, it made me want to know more, but somewhere in the middle the book just got a boring and I stopped reading it.

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

Really? I liked that book! I can't wait to read Scorch Trials!

[Gisbelle]

Maze Runner is a so-so series. Not as good as I expected either ... I still need to read , but I finish the rest of the series already

[Ally]

For me, it was definitely Perks of Being a Wallflower. Didn't live up to the hype, in my opinion (though I read it and formed my opinion about it before a great deal of the hype, to be honest).

As for The Maze Runner, I kept starting it and then putting it down so many times that I must have read the opening chapters ten times before getting through the whole book. I ended up actually really enjoying the series, but the start was so painfully slow.

Really Because I Was Plan On Reading This Book :(

[Gisbelle]

Not sure about how it would affect you, Kay! But I didn't like the book at all.

PS. can you stop capitalize every word? It's hard to read :) Thanks.

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

Yes, Kay, are you deliberately capitalizing every word? Like Gisbelle said, it's very hard to read. We're not trying to be mean, just letting you know how we fell! :D

I am so sorry it's a very bad habit i am sorry

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

It's okay Kay! Don't feel bad! It's just a habit! Thanks for fixing it! :D

[Ally]

@gisbelle - I need to read The Kill Order too! Though the fact that I haven't gone out of my way to read it yet probably says more about my thoughts on the series than anything else...

Entertaining for a while, but overall not worth jumping through hoops for.

I want to read it soon, but let's wait and see. I'm afraid it is not that great either :)

So you really don't like these right? :) Ascend looks interesting. I like the cover :D

The Boy Who Sneaks in my Bedroom Window

I liked the book. Well, most of it. I didn't like much after Liam and Amber became a couple. Amber because too slutty!

Yep, I really don't.

The first two books of the Trylle trilogy (Switched and Torn) were pretty good. The third one I nearly threw across the room and literally stopped reading at 51%.

I hate giving up on books half way :( I have quit reading several books this year because they were too boring or confusing :)

It takes a lot for me to put a book on the DNF shelf, mostly because I can usually push through to find out how it ends, at least.

The ones that do end up there usually do so because I realize I don't care about any of the characters/bored, they're so poorly written I can't gloss over the errors for another second, utterly piss me off.

[Gisbelle]

Yes, Libbie. I feel the same way :)

[Taylor]

I very rarely give up on a book without finishing it. Most of the time when i am bored it gets better.

good for you :) This rarely happens to me. It's just getting worse lol :D

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

Yeah, I rarely ever give up on a book with finishing it either! I always need to know at least what happened.

4 Stars because of the epilogue? I thought that ruined the book in my opinion. Not that it was great to start with.

Yes, in my opinion though.. I like Peeta. I just don't like some characters died, the one that i didn't expect.

[Beatrice]

,I guess alien stuffs are not for me.

[Jojobean]

This was another book I was psyched to read but was very disappointing. I was sooo bored reading this book. It was like nothing happened. Even the action wasn't that exciting. I was very glad when it ended and I felt it was too long. Plus the blue font color gave me a headache. This book makes me not want to read the other books in the trilogy

Fair enough :) yeah, too many people died I thought, not needed.

[Katie]

I was disappointed in the books Nightshade Delirium and Mockingjay. They all seemed to have good enough plots but the main thing that disappointed me was that they all had really whiny girls as narrators. It was hard to keep reading the books. I also was not rooting for the love interest in these 3 book either so that had something to do with it.

[Gisbelle]

I see what you mean, Katie. I hate whiny characters also.

That's what I've heard as well from those who read
The Help. It takes a really long time to get through.

(Much easier to just watch the 2 hour movie! Hah that might be the first time I've ever said that...)

[Brandi]

I was disappointed in Mockingjay... It was just really confusing and not at all as good as the first two books

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

That was my thoughts for Mockingjay as well, Brandi!

I thought I was the only one who didn't care for this one, everyone else seems to adore it lol."

Lol. I don't understand why do they adore this book. I guess it's not our cup of tea.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

Yeah, I didn't like either!

and I gave it to my daughter to read and she refused to finish it. She said there was just waaaay too much swearing in it (something I hadn't noticed)....

[Beatrice]

I hadn't noticed it too. I guess the book was okay. Nothing special about it though. But i like the film.
