Q. Let's step away from besties...What is the worst book that you've ever read and actually finished?
A. I haven't read a ton of books that I thought were just terrible, but as with any reader you're not going to love every book you read. And even if I don't like a book I still finish it, I'm not sure why it could just be the OCD part of me coming out. Anyways, back to the question.
Now don't kill me... but for me, one of the worst books I've read would have to be Twilight by Stephanie Meyer... *checks to make sure there isn't an angry mob banging down my door*....
Now I know there are a lot of people who love all things Twilight, but for me it just didn't make the cut. When I was reading this book I kept finding myself wondering why it had gotten so much hype because I just didn't see it, When I got to then end I remember being relieved that I was finished with it. Usually when I start reading a series I can't wait to get my hands on the next book, but with Twilight It wasn't like that at all. To this day I still haven't had any desire whatsoever to read the other three books in the series and honestly I never will.
Now none of that is meant to bash the author in any way, it's just my honest opinion and impression of the book. It wasn't for me but I know a lot of people who really love it. So it all just comes down to everyone's personal preference.
Happy Friday, lovlies! :)
I guess we all have opinions. Don't worry about it. Come visit me over at Livre De Amour. Just stopping by to see what everyone chose.
ReplyDeleteHad to think about the question for a second too. I picked something totally different though. New follower via FF. Happy Friday!

Twilight. It's a mixed one for me. When i read the first one i really liked it...and then went down hill from there. Hate the whole franchise now, drives me insane.

I can see that.. I didn't mind the series at the time that I read it, but then again I read all 4 books within the first 6 weeks that my daughter was born so I was pretty sleep deprived and don't really remember them.

Hi Taylor! New follower hopping on through :)
ReplyDeleteOMG, don't feel bad that you couldn't stand Twilight, I couldn't either! I only got as far as the first one, and when I finished it, I was like ummm, are you kidding me?? Haha, I totally respect everyone who is a Twilight fan, but it wasn't my cup of tea either!
You can see my FF post for this week at the link below-- have a great weekend!!

ReplyDeleteHaha don't worry, I can understand why you'd pick Twilight! I used to be a huge fan of the series until the movie franchise came out, and then I started thinking the whole craze was kind of silly hahaha. Now I'm just neutral, but the films ruined my liking for vampires haha.
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming by my FF! :)
Amy,
ReplyDeleteLol that video made me smile haha. Thanks for stopping by :)

Bonnie,
ReplyDeleteYeah I just wasn't a huge fan of it really. But I know a lot of friends who loved it.
Lea,
Yay I'm not alone! lol :) I only read the first one too, I just didn't feel the need to continue on with the series. But I don't have issues with other people liking them, it's just not for me. Thanks for the follow! :)
Felicia,
Yeah I think the whole craze is kind of silly too lol. Thankfully none of it ruined my liking for vampires, I've found some good books out there that are based on the kind of vampires I want to read about lol :)
Thanks everyone for commenting and thanks to the new followers! :)

You are not alone on in disliking Twilight. I actually read the entire series thinking because the premise was sort of cool that it might get better. Nope. It only got worse. So unfortunate.
ReplyDeleteOn a lighter note, Happy Friday!
I'm not a fan of Twilight either.

I'm a fan of Twilight, but don't worry I won't be banging on your door. Everybody has the right to their opinion and I'm starting to wonder why I enjoyed the series as much as I did :-)
ReplyDeleteNew follower! Have a great weekend!

LOL! Oh Twilight. How I love/hate thee. I was on the love team until the movies ruined everything. *picture of Robert Pattinson standing in the sun, angst face on, sparkling like a diamond*. Ugh. And can you believe they made action figures?
ReplyDeleteAnyway. Moving on. Thanks for stopping by my hop. I'm glad that we both have had such awkward experiences with romance novels LOL

Hopping through. Given my avatar, it's pretty obvious that I love Twilight. But I really understand why people don't like it. I'm surprised that I liked it as much as I do.
ReplyDeleteMy Hop
Alyssa,
ReplyDeleteThanks for checking out my blog and following! :)
Alison,
Before I read it I thought I would enjoy it, especially since some people I know had read it and loved it and we usually agree on books. But for some reason it just had the opposite effect on me lol. Thanks for hopping by :)
