I liked the first book in the series.. and then it just fell off!

I understand why people have said Wicked Lovely is repetative - it is the weakest in the series by far but I enjoyed book 2,3,4.


I have to say that I found book 1 by far the weakest. The second and third books were good. Funke is much better when she writes about her Inkheart world than her real world - but I think it is written for a younger audience-not really YA. I'd say up to 12.



That doesn't surprise me - I'm pretty sure The Lovely Bones was written as an adult novel - though it's been read by a lot of older teens. I'd be careful who I gave it to. It is scary and the subject is quite adult.


I actually really liked that one. It was pretty different, yeah, but I ended up enjoying it.

Did you read the rest of the series? Does it get better? I hate not finish..."
I haven't read any of the rest of then yet. I keep seeing them at the library, but it's been so long since I read the first book, I wanted to read it again before I started the sequel.

Also, I loved the first two books in the Evernight series, but Hourglass made me so mad.

Have to agree with The Lovely Bones. Everyone said it was wonderful. I just didn't get the hype.


The house of night series is getting worse and worse as the books go on. I love the first book, then the story just went downhill from there.
Also, I now despise the twilight saga. I love the host, but hate all the twilight books. (Mainly because my mother is so obsessed with the books it just made me hate them after the fiftieth time she read them and gushed about things she didn't remember from the series the other times she read it.)
(Sadly, I loved movie 4 part 2.)



I stopped halfway through the first (I would have stopped sooner but i was determined to finish it)
And i hear the second book was even WORST!!

Also, the Matched Trilogy. Got sucked in by the covers, I mean, look at it!

I loved those books. I can't remember, but I might have actually even liked the second one better. But I listened to them and they were very well performed too.

I liked the first one, but the rest just didn't do it for me. I think it's because everyone has the exact same voice. If the chapter heading didn't tell you who's head you were in, you'd never really notice.

Sorry if my grammar it is not excellent. I'm from Argetina so my native lenguage it is not English :)

1. Marked(house of night series)-Zoey just got on my nerves, she is judgemental and a hypocrit. If the author's really think Zoey is a good person than they are just insane.
2.Twilight-Do I even have to explain XD
3.Ounce in a full moon
Loved:
1. Tiger Lily-most emotional book I have ever read.
2.What's Left of Me-Love the characters, plot, and writing.
3. Masque of the Red Death- I just lvoed the world building!
4.Amy and Roger's epic detour
5.The Hunger Games- I loved it(like everyone else) but I think the book would have been better as a standalone than a trilogy...
6. The Uglies Series- Lots of growth in characters and the world building is just awesome! Characters are great to.
Those are all the books that come to my mind right now. As you can see the books I love outweigh the books I hate...it is really hard for me to hate a book :)
