Harper Nicole (harpernicole) FRANKENSTEIN! IT KILLED ME!!! DO NOT READ!!! Sorry to the people who like this book.

Cass DIVERGENT EWWW


message 3: by Cass (new)

Cass Also TWILIGHT


message 4: by Rosie (new)

Rosie I agree on Twilight. Divergent was okay to me, though. I mainly liked Divergent and Four, but Insurgent and Allegiant weren't too great. They were eh. (Although I liked the ending of Allegiant.) But back to twilight- Bella is an underage girl, and Edward is over 100 years old. Sure, he looks young, but he's great grandfather age. I think it's disgusting, and the writing in the books isn't even that good. (No offense to people who like Twilight.)

Cass it's just a horrible horrible series. Stephanie meyer is an AWFUL author and the storyline is trash. one of the only books i would actually consider burning


message 6: by Rosie (new)

Rosie I completely agree! I have a copy of twilight that I'm hoping to take next time I go camping and burn. Well, I just decided that now, and you inspired me, but I knew I was keeping it to vandalize it or to read it and and write a rant review of how horrible it is. : )

Harper Nicole (harpernicole) The Maze Runner series.
It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't good. It was scattered, and their was way to much information. The characters were like dead zombies without a soul. Sorry, I don't like to talk bad about books. But I hear that people think the movies are better than the books. Just so you know, that is saying something! It wasn't good. The plot jumped from one topic to another. Sorry, I did not like it.
I think I just wrote a review...


message 8: by Cass (new)

Cass lol, I read the maze runner series almost 2 years ago now, and I enjoyed them... but yeah, I agree, they definitely weren't the best


message 9: by Kunta (new)

Kunta Kinte Harry Potter was horrible in my opinion


message 10: by Harper Nicole (new)

Harper Nicole (harpernicole) I think that they needed a lot more editing, mainly. But, I understand that it is a good plot.

Oh, I just love Harry Potter. In fact, I am wearing HP socks right now.

Why though? Harry Potter is my religion.

Yes. If Christ did not exist, Harry Potter would be my religion.


message 17: by Rosie (new)

Rosie The Mortal Instruments was over hyped in my opinion. I read the prequel, The Infernal Devices, and those books were WAY better. I didn't really even like TMI, but the characters were pretty great. I suppose Cassandra Clare improves over time, though. And TDA is AMAZING.

My friend really liked The Mortal Instruments.


message 19: by Harper Nicole (new)

Harper Nicole (harpernicole) I really have no desire to read them.


message 20: by Cass (new)

Cass the mortal instruments is waaay overhyped. it started out as harry potter fanfiction with the names changed. and cassandra clare "borrows" a lot of elements from other writers... The infernal devices i enjoyed, but TMI is not that good


message 21: by Rosie (new)

Rosie Tip: Never, ever, ever watch the TMI TV series. I tried watching the first episode, and it was horrible. No offense to those who like it. I just thought the acting and how the characters looked was completely incorrect.

ElsaMakotoRenge (mantaicysnowflake) | 164 comments Oh I think a LOT of books are overhyped.😂

Maze Runner (VERY meh...)
The Hunger Games (I like THG and Catching Fire...But not Mockingjay, and I don’t think the series is nearly as great as a lot of people think)
Divergent (I like the first book, Insurgent was meh and Allegiant I don’t like at all)
Matched (first book meh and I actively disliked the other two)
The Selection (I hate America)
Elsie Dinsmore (nope nope don’t like that series at all...HOWEVER I do like the Violet and Millie books)
Legend (*snores*)
Hatchet (hated this, ugh)
Are You There God? It’s Me Margaret
Blubber
The Book Thief
Red Queen (Mare is annoying and I just didn’t think it was good...)
Eragon
Uglies

I am SURE there are more but that’s all I can think of off the top of my head right now lol:)


message 23: by ElsaMakotoRenge (new)

ElsaMakotoRenge (mantaicysnowflake) | 164 comments I couldn’t stand the Death narrator in The Book Thief! Drove me crazy😂 I think I rated it 3 stars if I remember right. I think it’s a fundamentally good book but I did not like it.
Red Queen I just couldn’t stand Mare and was very “meh” at it. Maybe it gets better after the second book but I just ran out of patience for it after book 2.:P

Ooh I’m interested to hear what you think about The Hunger Games! Cause I LIKE it but don’t think it’s wonderful or anything, as I said.:)


message 24: by Harper Nicole (new)

Harper Nicole (harpernicole) She's a keeper!


message 25: by ElsaMakotoRenge (new)

ElsaMakotoRenge (mantaicysnowflake) | 164 comments Yeah Katniss is a really good character! I like her and the movies are pretty good as well:)


message 26: by Harper Nicole (new)

Harper Nicole (harpernicole) J. Law's pretty great. I've read a sample of a book about the making of THG. It was so interesting.

Ghida (ghidaaa) | 11 comments The dinner I never understood what's so special about it and i think koch's goal in all his books to show the worst things in human beings

it actually is a book
though i haven't read it (trying to get my hands on it) i think it might be better cause like they always say the books always better then the movie!


message 29: by Ayamesalami (new)

Ayamesalami i think a really hyped series or book that i've read was the lara jean trilogy
the first book being to all the boys ive loved before second being p.s: i still love you and the last being always and forever, lara jean
now that i think about it the first book for me now is a solid 3 star and the 2nd being a 2 star
not a 1 because john was in it UWU
the 3rd book was pointless and i didn't get why other people liked the series


message 30: by Ayamesalami (new)

Ayamesalami it's just filled with tropes and is REALLY really god damn annoying
this isn't a spoiler
peter asks lara jean to fake date her and I KNEW THIS FROM THE START THIS WAS GONNA BE TROUBLE
i knew they were eventually gonna fall in love and it was cringey
peter acts like a bad boy which im fine with but you'll see he is a TOXIC PERSON and he keeps on dating her on and off and arguing with her on and off and for some reason LARA JEAN FORGIVES HIM GOD DAMMIT
lara jeans little sister kitty is really annoying to me in my opinion and i don't understand why kitty has to be such a nuisance
the really good thing about this book is the family aspect
im close to my family and i appreciate that lara jean isn't that one girl who hates her family
but i honestly hate peter
but the good stuff is the family aspect and
thats it
LOL


message 31: by Harper Nicole (new)

Harper Nicole (harpernicole) Hate to be this person, but, please watch your language, Ayamesalami. Thank you. Continue on!
