A List of Books That Suck… In My Opinion Anyway

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted over on The Broke and the Bookish.

Freebie weeks are hard! I never know what to make lists about. But a lot of my lists have been positive, so let’s go in the opposite direction, shall we?

Not every book is for everyone. And I have a tendency to strongly dislike books that everyone else seems to love, so this could be interesting. But here are some books that I am not a fan of in any way, shape, or form. Bring on all the hate from me ripping on your favourites! Life is too short for bad books!

 

This series is so popular, and I genuinely don’t know why. This book was awful. It was poorly written, and all over the place. Good idea, bad execution. I assume later books get better, but I can’t bring myself to give them a try.

I tried reading this a few years back, and it was so boring. I didn’t even get through it. I couldn’t bring myself to get through it.

I actually really liked the movie. I just couldn’t do the writing of the book, though.

I liked this book as a preteen. As an adult, it scares me. You can’t treat people like that!

I can’t deal with Romeo. He really needs to grow a pair.

I can’t do romance, guys. This book was so boring.

Please stop making fan fictions into books. Or, start making only the good fan fictions into books.

Good idea, bad execution. It could have been interesting, but it was just kind of boring to read.

This is the one I expect the most flak for, honestly. I have read all three of these, plus The Hobbit, because I was told ‘oh, they get better!’ They don’t. For a story about adventure, it’s painfully boring. All they do is talk about things, and then have lame battles. I do not understand why these are so popular. (The only good point is I did have one hell of a night after an LotR drinking game, but another story for another time.)
