The Alchemist - Paulo Coelho

Just didn't get this books....couldn't understand the hype surrounding this book and why people love it so much!!

[Sasha Ivashkov-Herondale-Jackson (aka Clarisse)]

ok.


it was the stupidest book! i just it was disgusting and soo not romantic and the teens in it were acting like twice their age.

tsk-tsk

my friends thought it was a good book but i cudnt get past the 50th page. I hated both the characters and the week storyline.

All the main guy said about the girl was that she was white and hot. And the girl thought the guy was hot.
ohhh soo romantic. NOT
>:(

very unhappy with this book and im glad i didnt finish it.

[A, Crazy.]

[A, Crazy.]

Matched


ok THIS book like SUCKS!
i did NOT like the female lead. she was so mean and stupid and annoying to read about. SO its a love triangle with her best friend Xander and this guys Ky. Its a dystopian novel. So like the governemnt or sumthing, chooses who that kids are going to get married to. So the main girl (dunno her name) gets her best friend Xander. So when she's at home, theres this chip with information about her would-be-Xander. So she opens the digital chip, and like theres a glitch. First the screen flashes with Ky's details, THEN Xander's details come on the screen.
NOW our main character is so intrigued by this and TOTALLY ignores and disregards the fact that Xander's face was ALSO displayed on the screen and starts to love Ky.

Really, even be4 all this, i had to force myself to read and finish it. It was a decent enuf book, but it just wsnt for me. I finished this book but i didnt continue the series. Really i wanted to throttle the girl. I just didnt like her.

But hey! ppl have liked this series, i just didnt.

[A, Crazy.]

HARRY POTTER!!!! How is that possible!?!? Sorry, I'm just a huge fan:P

[Anirudh]

@Ruchi, a Potter fan? Then I better not discuss it and make you angry ;):P

[A, Crazy.]

No...it's alright. I have a few friends who hate Potter or are not interested in it....I'd actually like to know what didn't you like??

[Sanika]

The House of Night series ..

just one word for this series - HORRIBLE

[Sasha Ivashkov-Herondale-Jackson (aka Clarisse)]

Sanika wrote: "The House of Night series ..

yup my friend hates that series as well

[Anirudh]

Well I felt it was more for kids and teenages than adults.. And too good vs evil. I didn't find it interesting. And wand wielding wizards didn't appeal to me..

[Sasha Ivashkov-Herondale-Jackson (aka Clarisse)]

well yes, the target audience is for the young adult audience....

BUT many adults like it too!
but thats okay. evry1 has thier own opinion

[A, Crazy.]

Yeah well....you need to read HP when you're a kid or a teenager, if you wanna enjoy it fully. I don't know myself....but I guess once you're an adult and you read it, it all seems too kiddish. So I understand why you didn't like it....For me, wand-weilding and wizards and stuff....it really fascinates me!!

[Anirudh]

Yes they do. But it was really not for me..

[Anirudh]

@Ruchi, I read it in high school.. But still didn't like it. Actually fantasy is my favourite genre but wands and wizards didn't interest me. They are powerful people but can't do much without their wands. I never got that :)

[A, Crazy.]

Ok...I get you now:))

[Malina]

I hated
Atonement and American Pastoral
Could not even finish the latter

[[deleted user]]

mortal instruments totally sucks....

I think it's way to overrated. I read it and I kept wondering what was the big deal about it.

[Dimitrios]

Well personally the only book I disliked ( I never hated a book so far) is Interview with the Vampire. I found it extremely boring... I had to make my self keep on reading and I am sorry to say I did not finish it, its the only book I quit reading ever.

It was a nice book. :) But yes it was very philosophical and didn't really make a lot of sense :)

I've going to start reading City of Bones...heard from others that it's great!

[Anirudh]

I haven't read city of bones yet. But the movie trailer was disappointing..

[Anirudh]

Is there anyone here who didn't like the Malazan series?

[A, Crazy.]

Anirudh wrote: "I haven't read city of bones yet. But the movie trailer was disappointing.."

Yep. Even I didn't much like the trailer. Though I've heard SO much about the books....I'm too excited to begin reading the books!!

[Anirudh]

@Ruchi, oh is it? good for you :)

I never liked low fantasies. So I don't think ill be reading that one :)

[A, Crazy.]

Well, I am super-interested in reading such books....I love YA stuff:))

[[deleted user]]

YA is the deal :)

[A, Crazy.]

[Anirudh]

@Ruchi oh that's nice :) Good for you :)

Huh....It breaks my heart to see Harry Potter on this thread, but then...it's your choice of course:) What didn't you like???

[Vasavi]

Did not like the environment in which the book was set itself.. they will eat some strange things in their parties.. I dont remember exactly.. some sort of fungus i think.. I was not able to continue reading after tat..

[Shilpa]

The Afghan by Fredrick Forsyth.. pickd it up twice bt cudnt read more than 170 pages..!!!

[Som]

The Alchemist and Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry Into Values .....garbage philosophies, think these killed my IQ by around 20-30; wasted my time a great deal, smh! One dimensional philosophy is as bad as junk foods..

I think you refer to what the ghost were eating. Since they were, well ghosts, they were unable to eat and so they could only pass through the food to lets say take a little bit of taste, so the idea was that rotten food would have a stronger taste. I dont think you should let osmething like that (from the second book) mess up with a fairly nice book series. There are 4 more books that are far more amazing than book one and two combined.
