I tried to read Obsidian this week and I gave up on it 25% through. It was so annoying and Twilight-..."
Cool!! Thanks for the opinions girl!!
Why is it boring? Does it focus too much on conversation or too much on detail?
Oh. I don't mind if it focuses on detail too much. I usually enjoy books better that way. If it focused on conversation, I'd instantly find it hard to continue the book.
Thanks for your help!
Thanks for your help!

I agree. I NEVER abandon books but this sucked. I left after 100 pages. Way overly detailed, no good characters, crappy world building. Kind of a rip off of LoTR too. The only good thing was the dragon.
A bunch of people I know say that it's kinda an imitation of LOTR.

I started reading it and I'm on page 5....since two years ago. It seems kind of dull. I just didn't get into the story. I read the first LOTR when I was 10 in a few days and I couldn't even finish a chapter of Eregon in two freaking years!
But I have much respect for the author who seems very young and that is always encouraging to see.
I guess I'll check out the free reading sample on my nook and, if I enjoy it, I'll quickly rent it out.
I just read part of the free reading sample on my nook. To me, it's very interesting! I love the detail! Much better than dialogue in my opinion. I guess I will definitely give this book a try then! Thanks for helping me out!!

Good! The book has a lot of potential and I happen to like detail because I'm a very visual person. I just didn't get hooked as instantly as I wanted to.
I guess it's different with every person. Like, LOTR didn't appeal to me too much, but this one does.

You're right, it definitely depends. I like books with more romance and Eregon didn't seem to have much.
Yeah, definitely! Like Feed, in my opinion, was absolutely boring! It had too much conversation, not enough action, and was completely dull.


Oh my goodness, that book too. Broke. My. Heart. What is with all these sad endings. I get that the world is a place if pain and suffering, and I've never claimed to be optimistic, but damn! Can't we get some happily-ever-afters thrown into these books to make me at least SMILE through my floodgates of salt water falling onto the paper?!? I'm so desperate for a happy ending I'll even take the illusion of happiness at the moment - there are just way to many depressing endings happening at the current moment!

YES,YES, YES, YES,YES!!!!!
Just as a warning though, you will be really sad. Like, a lot. But, it is definitely something that you should read. But, like I said, sadness is something that comes with the book. (=

It's pretty much the exact opposite; you will feel all the things. Seriously. You will feel hate towards John Green, love towards the characters, and extreme sadness. It just comes with the book. (=

I have heard that before. Im just scared to read it

Oh, gosh, I totally agree. I'm still not over Clockwork Princess (<3 Will) and will never get over Allegiant. No. Nope. That book will remain untouched on my bookshelf, as stagnant as my sadness until those feelings have dulled...which may be never. But until then, I will imagine a better ending where a smile is not considered an optimistic hope and where my dreams will not be stomped underfoot....
