[Michaela (Journey into Books)]

The Winner's Curse. I just couldn't connect to the characters and I just felt bored while reading it.

[Michael]

I was not impressed with the last 2 books in the Divergent series.
I felt the last 2 books were extremely rushed and it didn't wow me like the 1st one did

[rei]

speak by laurie halse anderson

[Amour]

Throne of glass by Sarah J. Maas. Never have I ever read an assassin being a whiny spoiled rotten bitch, til this disaster.

[Nellie ☾]

Eleanor & Park

I didn't like Eleanor because she was a bit immature idk. Maybe I just need to give it another chance because I had to pause a lot of times while reading it.

[Andy]

TFIOS, by John Green

[Dumitrita]

An Abundance of Katherines by John Green

[Poppy]

I agree with those saying all of John Green's books, so over-rated and never really as touching as they're supposed to be

[Amanda]

The Selection and the Fifth Wave!

[Phoebe]

I've avoided some of the books listed. The Passage (not YA) comes to mind. It's a lot like the 5th Wave, which I didn't like either.

[Stefana]

Fallen by Lauren Kate

[Crystal]

Matched

[Grace]

I wasn't a huge fan of Graceling by Kristen Cashore. The first half was pretty epic, and all the adventuring was fun, but the romance was really weird and unsatisfying--kinda soured the whole book for me :/

[Aastha]

Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi
I had started it because the synopsis sounded quite promising but I couldn't read more than, I think about 40 pages as the story became too boring and I hated the writing method. At first it was OK and I thought I will be able to continue it but nahh! Couldn't stand the writing method and plus the story was just becoming extremely boring.

[Awesome]

Matched !!such a non sense filled book!!

[Sushant]

For me it is Perception. i won't say it is worst but highly over rated one.

[D.B.]

It's always difficult for an author to criticize another's hard work, but Sinner by Maggie Stiefvater wasn't paranormal enough for me.

[Serena]

Kill the Boy Band was an okay book, but it escalated very quickly...I was like >.> What. I didn't expect that it would end the way it did.

[Lala]

Pride prejudice and zombies

[Kim]

I realize neither of these are YA...

Fifty shades-terrible writing, still trying to figure out why they're so popular
Lord of the Rings-incredibly boring to me, just not my style

I also just finished the 3rd book in The Queens Thief series and they just aren't doing it for me. I don't hate them but think they're hugely overrated...in my opinion ;-)

[[deleted user]]

I really did not like at all. It just didn't strike me as being an overly great book. However, I watched the movie despite my dislike for the book and I actually thought the movie wasn't bad, but then again when it comes to reading books such as this one, I tend to get bored reading it because there isn't much 'action' I guess I can say. Another one that just came out recently that everyone is hyped about and I just wasn't wanting any part of is I just could not get into it for the life of me!

was one of the most disappointing books I've ever read

I agree. I was so hyped about it too! I went out and bought it literally the day it came out just to go right back the next day and return it...

[Marta]

I don't understand the at all the hype about Throne of Glass series, the first book was meh, the second ok but the third I simply could not finished it.
Maybe I have a problem with the author so I don't know if I should give "a court of thorns and roses" a try

[[Hanna Banana]]

Delirium... horrible, HORRIBLE series :/

[DaughterOfHades]

Twilight! Definitely that one.. I am not saying it was bad.. but it was! Like I couldn't even read five pages without having to face palm myself because of those stupid lines.. didn't even bother reading the sequels! My friend was reading those books and I sat there counting how many pages Bella was crying over her breakup!

[Beka]

The girl on the train... still haven't finished it.

That sucks you couldn't get into it :( It is my favorite series..well one of them lol. Some books just aren't for some people though. A lot of people love "Thirteen Reasons Why" "Passenger" "Fault In Our Stars" "Vampire Academy" and "Divergent" which none of those books are any that I care about.

[Holly]

Allegiant, for sure. Too predictable, and the plot twist seemed desperate.

I feel Divergent was literally the only good book out of the trilogy

[Grace]

The problem I had with the Divergent trilogy was Tris's constant self-examination. It was kinda cool and poetic in the first book, but it lost its poignancy in the last two and towards the end, it just made her seem like a self-obsessed jerk. Her character arc was the be-all and end-all of the story, and I didn't think it alone was interesting enough to merit three books.
There were definitely some cool parts though, and I understand why people like the series :)

How could you not like shatter me? Did you read the whole series

[Maxx]

Me and Earl and the Dying Girl.

First book I did not finish. I tend to read until the end of every book because of my respect for authors and their work but I just couldn't do it with this book. His sense of humor didn't amuse me. I found it cheesy and not at all funny.

[Alexis]

I couldn't finish The Gresha Trilogy. Made it about halfway through Ruin and Rising, but it had just gotten too weird, too dark for my tastes.

Ohh. Throne of Glass and the whole series is my super duper fave :( its sad you can't get into it.

Seriously I tend to ignore certain aspects but with this series I just couldn't. I hate Celaena, I hate what the author did to Chaol, I hate the multiple povs and multiple love interests. Just made me think Celeane was some kind of Goddess!!NO, JUST NO!!

And I totally agree with Maze Runner, Fangirl, Me and Earl and the Dying Girl, 13 Reasons Why, Vampire Academy and The Wolves of Mercy Falls series, god what a depressing series.

[Kristin]

I never understood why anyone liked the "Twilight" series. I found them extremely boring.

The movies and the books are completely different.
