Wow... Hey I would like to know what about this book made you hate it... I actually loved this one...

.. it's not that I hated the book or anything.. I'm just not satisfied the way it end. As a reader.. When I start reading a book I'd like it to end without leaving any question in my mind.. This book doesn't do that.. Apart from that a good book.. Makes you think you easy our lives are comparing to some people.

I just never understood the hype. I am by NO MEANS a Bible beater, however I am Christian and the level of inaccuracy was steady...flip side is I love fiction and write fiction so here's to artistic freedom!

[Evah]

If I Stay By Gayle Forman
I absolutely hated this book.

[Kimberly]

The Vampire Academy series. I was so bored didn't even finish the first book. I love vampires so i was disappointed when i didn't like this series.

[Sakshi]

Catch-22.....irritating Book >:-(

The Vampire Diaries series, by LJ Smith.

Hou..."

I hated Vampire Diaries and House of Night series too...Vampire Diaries - I stopped reading after the 3rd or 4th book maybe. And couldn't even get through the first book of House of Night series.

What question did it leave in your mind?

[A_quiet_read]

If I Stay - Gayle Foreman.

Apparently some people here also hated it.
I wouldn't say I hate it but I dislike it.
It was way too cold. I mean the situation was sureal but still, everyone acted so cold like it's a usual thing that this happens. And some stuff was out of hand. If he wanted to frkn visit his comatosed girlfriend in the icu I'm sure that it could have been arranged without the drama and the cool aunt who's apparently the boss of everybody even though she doesn't work there anymore. And there are so many other things that made the story shitty.
The idea behind it is great but it wasn't handled very well.

[Hadiqa]

Fault in our stars. . . I didnt even read it :P

Then how can you hate it? :P

[Hadiqa]

lol I just didnt like the story :P As people told me how they admired it and what happens, I started hating it more

[✨]

Divergent. I can't.

[C.C.]

Divergent. Really the writing is so simple and the story is too fast, not much of a description or even getting to know the character's attitude.

I really loved the book and think it is a must read though it gets a bit irritating towards the end. Anyways, everybody has their own choice.

No offense but I am a fanatic divergent fan :D

[Sheetal]

The Great Gatsby- still can't figure out what's so great about it.

Life of Pi- Can anyone tell me why is there so much hype surrounding it? Was it because of the movie?

[Chaitalee]

All of Chetan Bhagat's books :P

[John]

I truly do not understand why THE CATCHER IN THE RYE is considered a classic. The narrator is a weird teenage boy who has a very negative attitude. Why would anyone think this was a great book? Life's too short to waste time reading such a book.

[Luis]

People will hate me for this, but Twilight. Oh my gosh, I had to force myself to finish this book, and I even had the second book but after reading the first one, I just couldn't look at it so i gave them both to my niece without even reading the second book. The idea the author had for the story was alright I guess, my main problem was with her writing style. I know that the books were extremely successful and that tons of people like them, but to be honest, i really don't understand why. But hey, that is just me, nothing against the people who like the book. :)

No, the movie was okay, although I love Ang Lee usually (director), but the book was brilliant. I'll have to write a review sometime to tell you my thoughts. I have one friend of twelve or so who hated it.

[Vaibhav]

Losing Me Finding You

Felt like author put his parrot on reader's head then narrated the whole book. :P

You probably don't know but there are lot of twilight haters. In thoushands or even more. You can find twilight haters everywhere on goodreads too. I am a big twilight hater and an even biggger hater of the protagonist Bella. I actually liked eclipse a little and really liked breaking dawn. I felt like flinging twilight and new moon into a gutter.I hate the author's writing style as well.Anyways, you can't say that everybody loved it because there are so many haters including me and you maybe :D

[Sheetal]

@Gerry- Sure, that would be amazing.I will wait for your review :D

Let me tell you, 2 states is better than all others :P

[Chaitalee]

I don't know if others loved it, but Amazing Grace by Danielle Steel was a complete waste of my time. It was bad enough for me to swear off from the write.r

[BlaiddDrwg]

Twilight series. I'm not even sure why I've read the whole series. Maybe hoping that I'll find ANYTHING good in it.
And lately Thirteen Reasons Why
I can't remember when was the last time I felt so sick about a book.

Well, I haven't actually read it but I think I should add Fifty Shades of Grey. It's one of the books on my list called "I don't care what is it about, I hate the idea so I won't read it. ever."

[Zenling]

Oh my God... Fifty Shades of whatever... I don't know why I finish trilogy...may be curiosity for BDSM world and it doesn't even represent it correctly. I discover that thing in a drugstore book section and I saw it was a bestseller (????). I read it in pieces and in electronic form. To this I prefer million times read Barbara Cartlan romantic novels (Please don't laugh at me...) I'm a very flexible reader but this Fifty thing...If I want to have sexual and romantic fantasies about something I prefer the classical Bram Stocker Dracula thing. hahahaha! yes... Gary Oldman is guilty. hehehehe.

[Jeanna]

I know it is a critically acclaimed books and adored by several, but "A Fault in Our Stars" was my biggest literary let down of all time. It just wasnt good at all in my opinion. But power to those who liked it.

[✭Sunshine✭]

The Girl with All the Gifts. I didn't completely hate it, but I didn't like it. I don't understand all the hype.

[Pooja]

The Bad Boy's Girl And The Life Of Pi..

Is interesting that you didn't like The Crucible. Why you didn't like it?

[Rajkeen]

I always thought I m only the one who hated twilight,thank heaven I aint abnormal.My friends always call me crazy not to like it.

[Rick]

I have never liked anything by Dean Koontz. I have nver been able to get into any of his works.

[Raguraman]

An old book which am reading now Asura Tale of Vanquished by Anand Neelakanthan . Every chapter the book is testing my patience !!

[Vedika]

I did not like Since You've Been Gone at all. The book was extremely boring which is sad considering the fun summer premise it was set in. The main character was extremely passive and clingy to her best friend in a cannot-function-without-her way. It was really a drag to read through till the end.

[Zenling]

Whaaaaaat!!!!!! I have to concede this with all my heart. That was too much... A little secret ...I can't even read the first paragraph of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. It was like eating "literary stones" down my throad. I read some classics without a problem but I can't stomach this one I don't know why... I supose is that there are books that for one reason or another don't appeal to a specific reader.

[Rawan]

1984!!! It could've been THE best book in the whole world but the writing SUCKED!! HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT

[Darlene]

Two Pulitzer-prize winning novels . . . Olive Kitteridge and A Thousand Acres. Both are total downers with no positive resolution. Ugh.

That's surprising. I remember being awed by the book.
