This week's question is: What is a book you didn’t like that all your friends raved about or what book did you love that wasn’t popular?
MY ANSWER: Oh that one is slightly easy! That would be the Twilight books, Hunger Games...I'm sure there are a few more but I can't remember which ones they were. Another one I didn't care for was Cinder. Everyone was saying how awesome it was and all that, when I read it, I was just sort of "meh". There was another book that was sort of popular but for the life of me I cannot remember it. I should have liked it too since it dealt with fairy tales and even the Bluebeard tale, but I just cannot remember the title. I didn't like the book at all, but know lots of other thought it was awesome. Sometimes I can tell before reading a book that it won't be for me and can be overly annoyed by it.
I honestly can't think of anything that I loved that others didn't like. That kind of thing doesn't make it on my radar. Also there's usually someone who liked one of those reads anyway. I guess I would say some of the older paranormal reads that most people don't care for today. Like Blood and Chocolate by Annette Curtis Klause.

I guess not everyone likes THG. >.< =))))

Ohh, I know the book you mean! Kill me Softly by Sarah Cross. Yeah, it also didn't impress me. The use of the fairytales was great, but Mirabella! Annoying girl. And Twilight indeed. I never cared for the story or Edward. Creep!

Twilight - I read the first three when the movies weren't even an idea yet... and I like the first two, but not the third. And then the movie and Breaking Dawn came out. ICK! Hated the series ever since.
ReplyDeleteThe Hunger Games - I loved the first one. The second was OKAY. The third one... awful. I couldn't even go see the movies.
Thanks for visiting my blog! Old follower :)

I haven't read Hunger games or Cinder yet. I did enjoy Twilight though *blush*
ReplyDeleteAm a new follower and look forward to reading more!
I used to like Twilight, in the very very beginning, when people weren't as crazy. I just read the story, thought it was rather cute and that was it. But then fangirls started to appear, being all "team Edward" or "team Jacob" and comparing them to the Harry Potter books and I was like NO.

Thanks for stopping by. I can't argue with Twilight - as a fan of old-school, monstrously evil vampires who DON'T SPARKLE, I stayed far away. :)
ReplyDeleteYou can check out my answer here
I'm the same way about stuff other people don't like. I don't usually read a book unless it has at least a handful of awesome reviews. Thanks for stopping by my blog earlier. Happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteGood picks. I agree lol

Hopping through. I've read several people who didn't like Cinder. I loved it, but you're not alone.
ReplyDeleteMy Hop
I tried getting into Cinder, but I gave up after 10 pages. Robots/Drones just aren't my thing. xD

I love how books are so subjective. I loved Cinder, but didn't love Scarlet. I hear you with the twilight books though. Thanks for visiting my FF.
ReplyDeleteLisaILJ @ I’ll Tumble for YA
I liked The Hunger Games and Cinder. I thought they were good reads but I guess everyone has there own opinion. I do understand about twilight though. Old GFC Follower. Thanks for sharing and visiting my FF. =]
ReplyDeleteI've read both Twilight and The Hunger Games series. I loved The Hunger Games, but didn't enjoy Twilight much. I have yet to read Cinder. Thanks for stopping by my FF. :)

Yeah, Cinder was okay, but not amazing.

Aww I loved Cinder, but I understand why you didn't!
ReplyDeleteI loved HG and I started Cinder but couldn't really get into it. Thanks for stopping by

Gotta love it when a book is so 'memorable' that you don't remember any of it. I have a few of those too.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by!

Oh gosh, why didn't I think to put Twilight on mine lol- I definitely didn't care for those. I enjoyed The Hunger Games, though the first one was much better than the rest.
ReplyDeleteThanks for swinging by!
I am a new follower! I enjoyed Hunger Games. The Second was my favorite. The third was eh. I hated some of the events that went down and the ending!

I loved Hunger Games. I must have read it a million times, lol. Though, I hated the third book. Now, Cinder is on my TBR pile but haven't gotten around to it yet.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog and happy friday!
Jessica@Lovin' Los Libros
I loved The Hunger Games...The 2nd one is the best in that series. I really enjoyed Cinder too :D That one is pretty hit or miss though I think. I have seen a few people that said they didn't like it. I am a Twilight fan as well LOL Thank you so much for stopping by my FF. Old follower :D Jaclyn @ JC's Book Haven
ReplyDeleteAlso one who doesn't care for Twilight!

Hey Jessica :) thanks for stopping by my FF post earlier.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed The Hunger Games quite a lot, and it's one of the few books-to-movie I liked, too.
Have a wonderful weekend :)
I like Hunger Games and Twilight. I haven't read Cindeer yet. I liked the question of the week because I see one more time how different people are. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by my blog earlier.
Oopss..Cinder I wanted to write. hehe
ReplyDeleteI love Blood and Chocolate I thought it was an amazing book! Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!

ReplyDeleteI actually liked Twilight for the puff piece it was - - it was an entertaining story and I read the book in about 2 days. I have not read the Hunger Games series yet, although I did like the movie. Haven't heard of Blood and Chocolate, will have to check it out.
My F&F is here: http://www.psychoticstate.net/2013/03/feature-and-follow-friday.html
