I didn't like the twilight series (I agree with Kennedy on that)and I also hated Fifty Shades of Grey (HATED!)
and Perfume: The Story of a Murderer (disgusting!)
I'm not sure if it is necessarily popular but I think of murder and torture when someone mentions the evermore series

I hated the Matched series and the Delirium series...
Please no one hate on me for this...but I don't like the Hunger Games. (I don't HATE it, but I dislike it).
Pitiful Creatures--uh, Beautiful Creatures. Yep. Just didn't do it for me. Thick and pandering. That was alot of book to get through (this coming from someone who generally reads thick and pandering books all the time).Is it wrong that I want to see the movie though? I mean that's what they're for right, doing all the work for you?

For me, it was The Matched series, it just wasn't very interesting or gripping. The world-buliding in the book was a bit unclear.

I actually liked the hunger games a litte bit for a short period but soon I didn't like it, I agree, ALL OF MY friends were obsessed...
Beautiful Creatures just was soooo boring it made me want to cry. im one of those people who kinda has to finish a book once i've started it but... i just couldn't with this one.
I found Mockingjay to be really boring. The book that most other people said was the best of the trilogy I found tedious and long-winded. I wonder whether I had had enough of the series by the time I got to read this story. I'm not sure really.
I actually hate The Alchemist by Coelho. I read it cause I kept hearing about it, but I absolutely hated it.
It definitely has to been the twilight series, I simply cannot stand them!

Don't even get me started on Twilight. I'm only 30 pages in and am ready to rip my hair out.

I agree with the Twilight comments. I really don't see what all the fuss is. I can't stand them.Mine is Jane Austin,,I don't hate them, I just can't seem to get into them.I have tried several times, but can't make myself finish them.
Perks of Being a Wallflower. Intensely overrated book, in my opinion. I had high hopes but was let down.

The Alchemist. I don't know why but I hated this book.....didn't understand the concept. Very disappointing.
Matched, and The Body Finder. Matched was pretty bad, but I couldn't stand The Body Fidner. It was truly horrendous- I wish I'd never even heard of it!!
I hated Series of Unfortunate Events and The Diary of a Wimpy Kid.

Lakshmi wrote: "I hated Series of Unfortunate Events and The Diary of a Wimpy Kid."I can understand both. I also am not a huge Wimpy Kid fan, and although I do love the Series of Unfortuante Events, my sister hates them- so I totally know what you mean!!
A lot of people have gone on to me about how good "Heart of Darkness" is. I really did not like it, and "Fifty Shades of Grey" I refuse to even touch on principle.
For me, it's been the John Green books. I started with The Fault in Our Stars, and I didn't really find anything particularly special about it. I continued on to some of John Green's other books, and I was equally unimpressed.

I'm not sure...The main character seemed a little disconnected from his situation to me so I guess in turn I felt disconnected from his POV. I had to push myself to finish the book.
The only John Green book i was able to get into was tfios. I've tried reading all the others but nothing hooked me in. Still love vlogbrothers though!I also couldn't get into mazerunner. There were too many characters being thrown around that seemed insignificant.
Books that were not all that:Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick (I think this was the first to murder my soul)
The DUFF by Kody Keplinger (first time the movie was better than the book)
The Selection series by Kiera Cass (AMERICA WAS BEYOND DUMB. Sorry. However, I couldn't put the series down and I read all three books. Will not get sucked into reading the others tho).
The Fellowship of the Ring by J. R. R. Tolkien (truly sad because i really REALLY wanted to get on board with the whole lord of the rings thing)
