Most Disappointing Books
The movie is better. :) with Alex Pettyfer in it? even better :)))) (for me..lol)
I liked I am Number Four! I have yet to see the movie but I will someday! Why did you guys not enjoy it?!

I tried reading Daughter of Smoke and Bone, but it was too slow-paced for me. What did everyone else think about this book?

Oh..okay! It was slow for me at parts but once I worked through them it got better (for me at least!)
I'm still giving it a chance..on the second book though.. I hope it's better.
Reading "the hunger but mostly death games." It's not bad, but it's not good either lol

I read
in November and it was too much for me. I don't usually mind erotica, but this one is way over the top.
It reminded me too much of movies I've seen. Girl, Interrupted, etc....

I loved the first two books in both of these series, but the third one was a terrible let down for me.
I was really pumped to read this book, but it was kind of disturbing.
I didn't like this any where near as much as everyone else seems to. Actually, the more time goes by, the more I dislike it. To me, there's better stuff out there.
Confusing and weird.
I really enjoyed the first one. This one went in the complete wrong direction to me. I'm not even bothering reading any more books in this series. 
NO. SERIOUSLY, JUST NO. I can't believe someone thought it was ok to write this. Hands down the most disturbing and awful book I have ever read. Seriously, just no.
@ Jalyn: I agree with you on

(the others on the list I have read yet)
recently...
I think it is too confusing for my taste!

This one too
, its pretty interesting but the transition is so confusing
I hate confusing books. Come to think of it, who doesn't right? :D
Gisbelle wrote: "I hate confusing books. Come to think of it, who doesn't right? :D"I would say you're right but when a confusing book makes sense at the end it sometimes makes it an interesting read to think back and be like 'OH YEEEAAAAH!' if you get what I mean!
I see what you mean, Katie :D I am just not a very patient :P
The Mark of AthenaI used to like Rick Riordan. Now I'm not so sure.
Crossed and Reached by Allie CondieOh my god, I am so peeved about how she wrote the last two books of the Matched trilogy!!:( Matched was one of the best dystopian romances I have ever read, but then Condie ruined it! Crossed was almost devoid of romance, and Reached was so slow and boring that I skimmed half the book just to see how it ended.
Gisbelle wrote: "recently... I think it is too confusing for my taste!"Oh, I am so sad to hear that. I listened to the audiobook (I would recommend that because the voices make all the difference). I absolutely loved this book. My disappointing one was Mr. Darcy, Vampyre. Hardly any vampire references and Elizabeth and Darcy are...not Elizabeth and Darcy. They're not the madly in love way they were in Pride and Prejudice. besides, the editing errors stuck out too much to be a great book. Unfortunate.
It was ok to read though :) Just I was a bit confusing because of the writing style. I found it was very creative and original by the way. Maybe it was because I am not a big fan of fantasy books :D

I loved the setting of Prague and how the author put a twist on the typical angel romance story. Plus, no love triangles!!!! (as of yet... still to read the second book)
Spoiled.... worst book I have read so far...
- Confusing. Plot all over the place. Was a real struggle to even finish it.
- Long weird names, no real set plot, thrown right into the story with no explanation of what is going on. I couldn't finish it.
Aw, it sucks to hear that about
I'm still in the middle of the second one and already itching to buy the third one. I have heard some of the same things from people who were disappointed by the conclusion of the series.

such a pretty cover. I think this would be an okay book, but I was disappointed because...if you read the synopsis, it makes it sound like it's a murder mystery with a really interesting MC (she has a sight impairment that I've never heard of)
Only the last few chapters were really what the synopsis eluded to. Otherwise, it's just A LOT of high school drama and characters I've never liked.

Worst book in the series :( But I still hope you are going to enjoy it :D

I was going to read this one a few months ago. Then I read the reviews, and had a second thought. The cover is so beautiful. Too bad the book sucks.
"Dexter in the Dark" is the third book of the series and is soooooooo bad. The others books are ok, but I think the TV' series is better and that's weird :SI actually likes Mockinjay. I give 5 stars to " The hunger games" and "Mockinjay" and 4 stars to the "En llamas" ( I don't remember the translation).
I was disappointed by the Mortal Instrument series. I've only read the first two, City of Bones and City of Ashes, but I just wasn't impressed. I was irritated by all the characters with the exception of maybe two. Also, I'm sick of YA love triangles. The books were just so predictable and while I think most books are predictable there is a line where it becomes TOO predictable. I'll probably finish the series just to see if it gets any better but at this point I don't know.
Beatrice wrote: "The movie is better. :) with Alex Pettyfer in it? even better :)))) (for me..lol)"Yep Alex is the best part, but I never finish the movie (I was so tired that day) ..so I want to read the book and then see the movie again

I actually loves that book I give it 5 stars :D haha
After seeing previews for the War Horse movie I thought the book would be amazing, it wasn't. Also The Forest of Hands and Teeth, Winter's Bone, and sadly Mockingjay.
Sorry if some of you are fans of
, but I just finished and thought it was so annoying and cheesy. I am not going to read book 2 for sure.
i just read it recently and although i really liked i couldn't give it more than 4 stars because of the little lack of serious plot :)
Gis, I haven't read Love Unscripted yet, but I find it so funny that someone will give it a 1 and others will rave over it (or any book)! I wonder why there's such a discrepancy.
I was really unhappy about this one because usually Susane Colasanti writes amazing, cute stories but this book was something I had to sell. I read it, it was okay, but it wasn't something that I's want to read again.

It has received such high rating, so I guess only a few may agree with me :) I found the way they talked about Ryan's fans (Ryan is the main male character and is an actor) very annoying and mean.

Is it worth reading? Because I've had it for a long time and haven't read it. I mean, I'm going to read it anyway, but is it too dissapointing?

Oh, no! I just asked for The Lovely Bones for my birthday!

Well, it was for me. But lots of people did love the book. I think it was just personal for me. I hope you like it!!
And I absolutely LOVED The Lovely Bones so that is probably a personal one too. It's a tough topic for people to really say they "enjoy" the boo k, if you know what I mean??
I hope you like them both! :D

Thank You! I'll let you know if I like them. =D

Shiver is a bit slow, but I thought it was an ok book.Elizabeth, I didn't like this book either. Too confusing for me.

I really liked the Shiver series, but I hated the ending. I don't actually remember the ending now, though, haha.
One book I really couldn't get into was the Blue Blood series by Melissa de la Cruz. I loved her The Ashleys series, but this one.... No.
