Over-Hyped Books

[Rita]

Paige, I completely agree with you about City of Bones! But if I didn't want to know why there was so much hype about these books I would never have read City of Glass and I love it, so there's always that xD

I know, though the TMI hype got me reading TID first (because it is a complete series, I have a habit to prefer reading the completed series first), and then I fell in love with the author. else, seriously, I can get through first two book of TMI at all. the movie helps though, Jamie and Lily did well.

The Fault in Our Stars

I agree
matched, divergent,beautiful creatures,fallen, all overhyped.
also would like to add hush hush. not that good either.
they werent awful just not as good as I expected them to be.
divergent, it wasent bad but it just never got my 100 % attention and love.

[Misfit]

I agree with Faye. Also, The Fifth Wave.

[Lissette]

Fallen and Hush Hush, I'm sorry but stalking someone is never romantic its creepy.

[Connie]

Beautiful Creatures, as many others have said. I just did not enjoy the series :/
Matched was okay, but the next two books were just...

[Riya]

The Knife of Never Letting Go and Matched were definitely hyped up too much. And The Body Finder- HATE that book!!! :P
Also the Iron Fey series sucked...and a few others that I can't remember!

[Sandra]

The coldest girl in Coldtown

I heard about the hype, gave in and it was horrible.

[CourtLovesBooks]

Divergent. The first book was good but I hated what I read of Insurgent. The Characters just start acting so stupid.

[Riya]

Before I Fall. I really hated Samantha...

[Roxana]

Ignite Me, I didn't like it.. I really wanted a war.. and there was so much drama with Adam and stuff..

[Shadowhunter's Library]

I don't know if this is overhyped, but I'm saying Gone by Michael Grant. I just did not like this book. It was really really boring, and I found the supernatural aspect to be pointless.

[Jamie]

Yeah I liked it when I was 14 but yeah it's not that good!

Yes! The first book was great and the others were just screwed up.

[Naban]

The Selection. I found it to be horrible and lacking in many aspects that a good overhyped but should be made of. The main character was annoying, along with the love interests and the plot.

[Rachel , The Attentive One]

WE WERE LIARS. SO OVERHYPED.

Dang it- I really wanted to read that!

[CourtLovesBooks]

The Coldest Girl in Coldtown grrrr! This book! Angry feels!

[Rachel , The Attentive One]

Aww I wanted to read that :/

[CourtLovesBooks]

It's okay but it's slow and I HATE the ending. I gave it three stars cause it does have good points

[Sandee is Reading]

I would have to go with and .

I suck. I know.

[Christina]

I would have to say Half Bad. I picked it up at the library because of the hype and read almost to the end and there was a huge lack of magic even though it's about witches. Never again.

[Michelle]

I think Shatter Me is over-hyped. I mean, I liked it, but I thought it would have been better. Also, Gone is over-hyped. I really didn't like it; So hard to get through.

[Lissette]

i tried to read Gone but couldn't get past the first page.

[Juliet]

All of you guys are making me so mad! xD but, it's all about matter of opinion and taste. Personally, I thought City of Bones was a bit of a let-down. I had high hopes because everyone was practically shoving the book in my face! Also I was a little confused about the ending. BUT I did not hate it. I found it hilarious and when (view spoiler)[ Jace kissed Clary, I fangirled a little bit ^-^ (hide spoiler)] Also! I loved City of Ashes! Way better than the first book I think. And I've heard City of Glass is even better. It grew on me.

[Sabrina]

I think it is definitely about different people's tastes.
For example, I didn't really enjoy The Knife of Never Letting Go, but I can appreciate it and understand how some people can love it - it just wasn't to my taste and disturbed me a little too much :P

[Rachel , The Attentive One]

*chants* overhyped, overhyped, overhyped

[Tayla]

I dont think anything is overhyped. I usually read a book before it is a movie and I looove when it gets hyped up! Then I can get merch <3

Perfect response. If something is hyped, it's because a lot of people love it. To me, that's always a good thing, even if I don't like the book personally.

[Abby]

Definitely Mortal Instruments and Divergent. :/
