The book you like most discussion
books that weren't as good as people made them out to be
shatter me series. I just don't get the Warner hype. And there was no world building.
haunting adaline...like i just didnt care about these people enough to bother...
Amari and the Night Brothers and Keeper of the Lost Cities. why were these books even published 😭
Divine rivals..... pls dont kill me 🫣It was just okay....
Where the Crawfish sing....I started reading it and I tried to watch the movie...both were boring to me.
I don't remember the title, but a few years ago everybody recommended it. The author was German, the book took place in St. Malo, France, during WW II, but I couldn't get into it.The same with "Secret History" by Donna Tartt...so boring!

The Silent Patient and Where the Crawdads Sing; Crawdads was so boring I couldn't finish it; Silent Patient I did finish and am sorry I did.

Fourth Wing for sure! I like storyline/concept, and I'll probably finish the series, but the writing itself was subpar. it felt juvenile and not very well thought-out.
The Spanish love deception
The Maze Runner
You’ve reached Sam for sure. The concept was interesting but it could’ve been executed better imo because it felt repetitive and boring.

twisted love was just not it ,it was so cringe
Krista wrote: "Fourth Wing Series"Yes, a thousand times yes.
Also: Shades of Magic.I only read the first book, to be honest, but it had huge plot holes. I am still hesitant to continue with the other ones.

Piranesi. Just. Ugh. And thousands loved it! I don't see why. Sure, it had a lot of literary references, but the bare--and highly derivative--kidnap plot was endlessly held in abeyance (as though the author knew to be ashamed of such a threadbare conveyance) as we wandered around in the poor protagonist's confused and broken mind. On the other hand Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell was absolutely BRILLIANT. Go figure. The Burning Witch. I wrote a review in Goodreads, hope you'll read it, comments always welcome.
Normal People. What I heard the most was that the writing and the story were so amazing, and to be honest, the writing just felt too "and then, and then, and then" sometimes, and the story could have gone interesting places but it felt too on the surface.
it ends with us, spanish love deception, ugly love, caraval -- idk i went into them thinking i'd love them since everyone seems to but they were all kinda meh for me
I have a ton that I could put for this, but the biggest ones for me were The Deal and A Court of Thorns and Roses. Both of them are super loved online, but I found that I hated all the characters from both of the books

Don't get her but I know people who LOVE her work
The Red Tent was highly recommended but I absolutely hated it. Stuart Little also recommended and did not care for that either.
Shatter me and Fourth Wing really, and I liked ACOTAR but it's not as good as people say it is
Please no one kill me but Maze Runner and Harry Potter
a court of thorns and roses and evelyn hugo, i started reading ACOTAR and for the life of me i couldn’t get past the first 100 pages, maybe it just wasnt for me but the writing style was just not it for me. and evelyn hugo, dont get mewrong, i really enjoyed the book, i love the author and i liked the way it was written, its just… it wasn’t as earth shattering as people make it out to be

I didn't care for Harry Potter, Little Women, Little House on the Prairie (I love the TV series though), Nils Holgersson, The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Nancy Drew, Hardy Boys, Dr. Zhivago by Boris Pasternak, anything by Charles Dickens, Guenter Grass, Donna Tartt, Where the Crawdads sang, Daniele Steel (her movies are nice), Elizabeth George (tried to start reading her first crime novel three times, but gave up), Outlander and too many more to list.
shatter me series! I didn't like the way she dumped Adam. She could wait else what is the meaning of real love. To dump one & find another. And I don't get why people are obsessed with Warner. I stopped the series with 3rd book.
Dreamland Billionaires series was the absolute pits for me 👎👎👎
Local Woman Missing and The Midnight Library. It took me roughly a month to read both books (separate months). I didn't understand the hype surrounding both. LWM was predictable and not thrilling at all. I read an article about TML and how it was the author's portrayal of his experience with attempting to harm himself, and it's not realistic, which I realize is the purpose of a fictitious novel, but he was talking about mental health...
The Last Thing He Told Me by Laura Dave
To be completely honest, The Picture of Dorian Gray. I heard and read a lot of good reviews about the book, plus the plot sounded interesting, usually people said that the reflections in the book made them question themselves, etc.Well, the "reflections" in the book are quite simple, and it is literally very easy to disagree with them, because they were indeed somewhat absurd. I don't take away from the importance of the impact the book had at the time, or the beautiful writing, among other things, but really, for me, it's not an amazing book at all,
I'm also not a fan of Colleen Hoover. she was recommended to me so many times, but the three books I've read from her just didn't grab me like other books I've read.
probably iron flame. fourth wing was nice, i liked reading it, it was action packed and interesting. iron flame just didnt pull me in. it was so hard to start, i dont think ill pick it back up.
Tomorrow, and Tomorrow and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin.
Where the Crawdads Sing... interesting ending, I had to discuss it with someone. But overall I did not get the hype.
A fourth of thorns and roses (book 1)
divine rivalsit honestly disappointed me so much. like don’t get me wrong the romance and the story were good but i just didn’t really connect to the love between roman and iris like i thought i would. it just felt lacking somehow, i was more interested in the war than in their romance
A Head Full Of Ghosts I've seen a lot of reviews on TikTok I've bought I've read it I've hated it.
A Secret Story by Donna Tartt. What a disappointment!
its the Twisted series for me I read the first two books and DNFed the rest series
You don't necessarily have to have hated it but just thought it was overrated.
My two picks are probably Binding 13 and Evelyn Hugo, I did enjoy both books but from the praise they got online I thought I was getting some life changing, amazing books instead B13 felt like a basic teen drama (fun, but it didn't stand out much from other similar books which left me wondering how it got so popular) and EH, I found the twist too obvious and felt like a bit more could have been done with the idea (taking out the unneeded twist, just focusing on the old hollywood aspect and celia which was why most people were reading it.)
what are your picks?
