Delirium. Didn't hate it,but 5 chapters was enough because it was already obvious that there was going to be a little bit of love story between the main character and the boy she met during that chapter and love's supposed to be a desease in that series,so...how lame.

Dairy Queen. I did enjoy what I was reading, but I A) found it to be soooo boring, and B) I HATED the main character. So after pg. 200, I stopped (I probably shouldn't have because I had like 80 pages left but I don't mind).

>> Picked this up twice but had to put back down twice too. I really want to finish this but I get drowsy after a while.
>> got other books I needed to finish first - specifically, ARCs.
Serena Fallen
Teardrop
Partials( I'm ganna start it again)
The Vampire Diaries
The Nine Lives of Chloe King
Teardrop by Lauren Kate. It makes me so frustrated!! However, right now I've picked it back up and am trying to finish it. Don't know how long that'll last XD
I never finished Reached. (Matched book 3.) I lost so much interest in Crossed (book 2) I don't even know how I finished it. Then I picked up Reached at the library, read ten pages, and never touched it again. It's a shame because I actually liked the first book.

That's what I heard. But the movie looked good...

Insurgent (This book just made so mad! I wanted to come through it and strangle Four and Tris), Hush Hush (Had less than 100 pages left when I gave up), Evermore, Eona (which made me sad cause I really liked the first one)
The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien. I'm actually very intrigued by the story, but I cannot get through that writing. I guess I'm not a very sophisticated reader xDInkdeath by Cornelia Funke. The first two in the trilogy were alright, but this one put me to sleep faster than my history textbook, and that's saying something.
Crossed by Ally Condie I guess I finished, but I was skimming and not paying very much attention.
Reached. My expectations were very low after Crossed, and I was more or less correct. I didn't enjoy the first few chapters and didn't care what was going to happen, so I just stopped.
I didn't care for the characters and about 3/5 of the way through I just stopped trying. One of the very rare not finishes for me.
@tommy I loved the first one when I first read it but didn't enjoy the next ones until I reread them all. I don't know why I didn't enjoy them the first time. I really love them now.

I really love them now."I really loved the back cover description. It all seemed so interesting, just for some reason didn't work for me. I may give it another shot eventually. I was told to read The Infernal Devices first.
YES I WITHOUT ANY DOUBT LOVED THOSE! After I read those I reread TMI and then I found that I loved them. Especially when characters in TID show up in TMI. It makes it so much better.
I read Reboot by Amy Tintera, and struggled through the whole thing. I kinda liked the beginning and thats the only thing that kept me going, but for Rebel, i TOTALLY gave up. I. Just. Cant. Take. This. Anymore.
Gravity by Mellisa West and By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept by Paulo Coelho, I couldn't. I was feeling so bored with these books..
I can't stand it. I thought these books would be easy to read since they are really just a convo between 3 people and I'm kinda nosy that way (LOL)
yeahhhh nooooo. -_- It's bugging me to death. No plot, no nothin. I have to have action and stuff dangit! Lol

I read the first two of this series and gave up xD
I agree, there's pretty much no plot. I don't mind reading epistolary, but there has to be some stuff happening that's mentioned in the conversation, haha.
I give props to anyone who can read all 3 (or is it 4 now?) in a row. I'd end up throwing it out the window or something hahaI got through the first book, hardly. but when I started on the second one, I got to page 54 and went "Nope! I'm done. Can't handle this."
and sadly they were suppose to be my "lay back-read in no time" books. pshhh yeah right.
recently, I didn't finish
. Everyone seems to love it, but I couldn't bring myself to. There were so many holes with the science on how things happened, and that bothered me.
Ugh, The Host! I bought it in an airport a few years ago and I just couldn't concentrate on it (even super bored on a 5 hours flight!). Then I tried it again a few weeks ago after watching and liking the movie but still I just can't get into it I don't know why. I really liked the movie though so I'll probably give it another chance
