Vasiliki | 14 comments Vampire Diaries!!! It was really bad....it felt like a very bad version of Twilight.....It was predictable and shallow....it wasn't even cute or funny! Bad bad book!

Kholood (valence_) | 8 comments Looking for Alaska, I liked the message behind the book. What made me dislike it, is that I mostly like reading novels where the romantic scenes/parts are toned down, where the author doesn't go into SO much details, and I don't know I felt like it was so obvious in Looking for Alaska, felt uncomfortable reading those parts and ended up skipping them. Beautiful disaster, I enjoyed the beginning but then when it got to the middle where they kind of got together, it was the same thing like Looking for Alaska, so much details.

Radha Patel | 4 comments Wow, there are plenty of series that everyone else like, but I just don't get it!!!!!!!
FALLEN- seems like some people love and hate this book, for me it was just boring....I mean I guess it has potential
THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS- I ended up reading the 1st,2nd,and halfway through the third before I realized how dragged on the plot is....I mean what's the deal with clary and jace!!!!!!!!!

Abigatorz | 1 comments Vampire academy- I just thought it was kind of boring. I didn't like the plot very much
Paranormalcy- I thought a lot of the characters were annoying and the book was nothing like I thought it would be.
Hate list- I hated how contradictory it was and I didn't think the characters behaved in a realistic manner
Daughter of smoke and bone- it was alright I just expected a lot more out of it
The 5th wave- words cannot describe how much I hated this book
Anna dressed in blood- it was not what I was hoping
These were the only ones I was like super disappointed with

Basma | 152 comments The first thing I thought when I read the title was "The mortal instruments " this series was really bad .. Or at least I thought as much. My problem was mainly with the style of writing ... I only read the first three books then I was like ... THAT'S IT !!
The second series .. Or trilogy . The infernal devices .. Also by the same author. I read the first book on a book swap and the second book was a dare .. That I failed to complete :p
That's all I could think of at the moment

Julia | 8 comments I really wasn't thrilled with Looking For Alaska and Paper Towns by John Green. They were both well written, however the plots in both stories weren't captivating, and neither progressed to a more intriguing point. I also thought that the characters Alaska and Margo had very similar personalities. This could actually appeal to some readers, but for me it was just too much of the same thing.

I COMPLETELY AGREE. I enjoyed The Fault In Our Stars, and after, I went and picked up Looking For Alaska and Paper Towns, but sadly, they didn't meet my expectations nor were they a captivating read.


. (not active on this account stop adding me) (vaughnspencers) All of John Green's books, The Hunger Games, Legend, Daughter of Smoke and Bone, The Maze Runner and probably The Summer I Turned Pretty


message 309: by Sara Val (new)

Sara Val (saraval) Matched. I shudder at the thought of that book.

message 312: by Nada (new)

Nada (nadae) John Green isn't one of my fav authors out there, like there's nthg special about him. The perks of being a wallflower wasn't that good either. Also The Hunger Games.


message 313: by Nada (new)

Nada (nadae) I didn't like Allegiant at all I hate what she did with the last book

message 315: by Carli (new)

Carli Rossi The Maze Runner Trilogy, and the prequel.... Even worse

Suzie | 4 comments Please don't kill me but I was disappointed halfway through Catching Fire and I didn't like Mockingjay! Also I really didn't like The Selection!


message 319: by [deleted user] (new)

@Suzie, I totally agree about Mockingjay and The Selection.

Δ|вσω If you want to know how I feel about Gone (Gone, #1) by Michael Grant read my review. It was the worst book I've ever read.


message 321: by Jenny (new)

Jenny (jennyredcherry) | 5 comments I must say I absolutely hated The Morganville Vampire Series, have no idea how I managed to
read 3 books. All of the characters were ridiculously stupid and I relatable , did not like the plot at all and the MC must have been one of the dumbest immature MC ever

Kuan (reasonstobelieve) | 6 comments Twilight! I mentally tortured myself to finish all 4 books. I feel like I was eating a bland oatmeal. I chew a bit, spit out and eat a sponeful of my own vomit again.

Deanna (anovelglimpse) The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (Millennium, #1) by Stieg Larsson
I had the hardest time getting through the first 3/4 of the book. The only reason I would suggest reading it is that it sets up the second and third books and they are unbelievably good.


message 325: by Deanna (new)

Deanna (anovelglimpse) Allegiant (Divergent, #3) by Veronica Roth
Oh, and this one too. I couldn't stand the first 3/4 of it. I didn't mind the ending at all, but the boringness of the majority of it ruined an otherwise spectacular series.

Chante City of Bones (The Mortal Instruments, #1) by Cassandra Clare
I really don't understand the hype with this book.


message 327: by Heather (new)

Heather | 4 comments The House of Night Series and Beautiful Creatures series, I cant bring myself to finish either, i just dont find them as interesting as other people do

I enjoyed the first four books of HON I think, but after that they got bad. I want to finish it, but I never make time for it and they take me forever the read since I'm not into it.

Torment #1 - Fallen #2 by LAuren Kate.


message 331: by Adriana (new)

Adriana Looking For Alaska. Hands down. I don't understand why everyone loved this book so much. Don't get me wrong, John Green is great! I just could not stand any of the characters..

I took me forever to get through Delirium, I enjoyed the second book a ton better than the first. I totally understand this though.


message 333: by Maria (new)

Maria Kathrina Gone, Matched & Divergent

For Gone, I only made it halfway through the book before getting bored & googling what happens in the rest of the series.

I tried to read Matched 3 time and each time I couldn't bother finishing the book. I had so many friends recommend it but I just never got hooked.

As for Divergent, there was just something I didn't like about it. I just hoped for more action and I wish there was more on the revolt/war (I read it nearly 2 years ago so I can't remember much). I guess I just went into the book with super high expectations and in the end was really disappointed.


message 334: by [deleted user] (new)

hush hush, I read the whole series because I don't like to let thing start but I didn't like, I think the idea was good but the romance, the personalities of the characters didn't convince me.


message 335: by Krista (new)

Krista | 1 comments Pretty much every john green book but tfios. They all hve the same plot and the same characters. If you've read one, you've read them all.

I might read the second book of Delirium since it seems to be better, but with Delirium, I found myself skipping pages and skimming through paragraphs, looking for key words so I can just get the main idea.

fiona (fionazx) Matched. I don't even know why I disliked it so much but I just couldn't get into it but idk it's probably bc it was so hyped up


☆☆Hannah☆☆ The Maze Runner Trilogy. The 1st book was good but the last two were aweful. I still don't get why it's so popular.

Alison (a1ison74) | 11 comments I have to go with beautiful creatures. I thought the film was actually better which in fairness wouldn't be hard.

Maze runner was a bit of a struggle at the start but I got into it eventually.

Syd (Sydsbooked) (sydsbooked) Marked and the entire series save that last few books. I don't know why I read all of them but I did.
