How couldn't you like this book??!?! I know, the beginning is a little slow, but as you keep reading it gets way better. The end was actually stunning. I am planning on reading all the sequels..

OH GOD. I'm really big on NEEDING to finish a book once I've started. But I could not finish
. It was just SO SO SO bad. Also, I'm TRYING to get through
, but it's a slow process.

it was just so boring
I tried twice with this book, but just couldn't get past the first 50 or so pages.
Also, it's not YA, but I have tried to get past the first two chapters of
for years but just can't seem to do it. I guess there are books with connect with on a subconcious level, and books our brains automatically reject!!!
i tried. i really did. i made it through the first part, but that was as far as i could go. it got too boring

I was going to force myself, but then my friend told me not to both LOL.
I also couldn't finish
. I got about halfway through Wuthering Heights and I just couldn't do it anymore.
And I have the second sitting on my shelf. I just couldn't do it. :c
I could never finish The Hunger Games.The Hunger Games - Poorly written, cliche storyline, poorly expressed characters (Katniss appears to either have mood swings 24/7, or Suzanne Collins could never choose one emotion for her to have). I had to put it down on chapter 14. I didn't want to torture myself anymore.
Oh wow, I haven't met anyone so far that didn't like Hunger Games.
Oh, wow, I loved The Hunger games! Oh well, everyone has their own opinion on books.I couldn't finish Dead, Actually by Kaz Delany. Was just horribly annoying.
Rae wrote: "Oh wow, I haven't met anyone so far that didn't like Hunger Games."Really. I agree it was a little slow to take off in the beginning. But once it picked up after the games startted I couldn't make myself put it down.

Areana wrote: "Extras by Scott Westerfeld"I was so disappointed in this book. =/
I force myself to finish books even if i hate them just to add them to my list.Except for,
gave up on that one for sure. lol.
Ive been trying to finish,
forever loland
worst books ever.
I LOVED 50 Shades lol. And yeah, I didn't like THG for the first few chapters but then I couldn't stop. I read all three in one weekend.
A few years back I started reading
, i got bored and closed the book. Tried reading it for the second and third time but still can't get past the first 5 chapters. I finally gave up.Last year I wanted to read
. I reached till the 5th POV, then got tired of it. I started reading again a few months back and even shifted to audiobooks so I could listen to it while I clean around the house and do other chores. Still haven't finished it. LOL.
Sachi wrote: "Beautiful Creatures."Oh really? My friend is about to start it. Why was it so bad?
i want to read beautiful cretures, hahaha is it really really reeeeeaaaally bad?
I hate giving up on books more than anything but I swear I couldn't spare another second of my time on any one of these books.
Personally, I loved the Beautiful Creatures series. I would recommend the series!
Really? I was thinking of reading it...but I thought, "Naw, nevermind"

Oh, I know how you guys felt.
Honestly, I looked at the book and I did not want to read it. For a second, I did, then, made up my mind and said, "Naw, never gonna read this."
Then, my friend at school read this and all other girls were squealing and I had no clue as to why. Ashley, the friend I'm talking about let me borrow the book. Honestly, the reason why I said, sure was well, she's nice! I can't say no to a nice person!! I just can't!! So yeah, read the first page---got bored.
A day past. A week. Then, 3 months past and I still hadn't read this.
When I was cleaning my room, that was when I found it, and I was, "OH SNAP!! I HAVE TO RETURN THIS!!" Then, I thought, "Aw, man, she'll ask if I liked that book!! Snap, oh, snap" So...I propped down and started reading at the exact same spot.
Next thing I knew it, 5 hours past and I am half-way through the book.
And now, I am just waiting to get Finale the fourth book. This book actually kind of had me and Ashley bonded more so another reason why I like this book even more XD
You don't have to read it, but I'm just saying I was thinking like that too :)
And I know..."patch" wasn't (at first) very natural...but read on, maybe you'll see why that's his nickname ;)

Hush hush was really unrealistic, and at the beginning I was like "what the hell is going on with this book?" but as I continued it got MUCH better.
That's why I read paranormal books so often though, I like how unrealistic it is. I just finished Silence tonight and I enjoyed it. When it comes down to it, Patch is my type (minus the whole fallen angel bit) and it's when he's acting "normal" that I get really hot and bothered lol. LIke in the first book when he just grabs her chair closer to him, excuse me while I die a bit lol.
Beautiful creatures was one of a handful of books that I just couldn't finish. And usually I finish books once I start them though I just couldn't with this one. I definitely loved the host way more than the twilight series. Some authors write lots about the same topic but the host was totally unexpected but absolutely awesome! The start was a little slow but when she reached the caves I just couldn't stop reading.
The Series of Unfortunate Events books. I started them in the fourth grade and got up to the fourth book and quit. Those books are WAY too sad, I need a book that has at least a little bit of hope or happiness in it.
I couldn't finish Crossed by Ally Condie... Just dragged on and on...
Danielle wrote: "I couldn't finish Crossed by Ally Condie... Just dragged on and on..."Aw, I really loved it.
my problem is when I start reading a book I have to try to finish no matter what. the one book I found really hard to read and it's not a YA it's the fifty shades of grey series read all three and found them one of the hardest to finish book series ive ever read
So far in my reading endeavors I have not been able to finish Pure, and awaken. I am not sure as to why i couldn't, but I just couldn't. lol But I do plan on trying to read them in the future once more.
I tried reading Matched by Ally Condie quite a few times and still haven't been able to finish it.
i tried, i really did. i just go too boring.
Brittney wrote: "i tried, i really did. i just go too boring."
Oh god, right? So so bad. I wish I hadn't waited so long to start it after I bought it because I would really like to bring it back.
1)Throat by R.A.Nelson. -don't know what he's trying to tell in the story. maybe i'm still too young to understand the whole thing.
2)Thirst by Christopher Pike.
-just one word: boring.
3) Awake at Dawn by C.C Hunter.
-the 1st book is still okay. but in this 2nd book, the main thing is still bout the girl choosing between 2 guys. guess i get kinda sick seeing all YA books nowadays focusing on love triangle.
I started Dark Angel by Eden Maguire I got to I think chapter two where I just had to give up it was kinda confusing and boring.
