I for one do have a list of books I love to hate not simply because they were written horribly but because they couldn’t hold my interest to keep reading them. These books are popular with other reads but not me. I’m not complaining about how they were written. I think the biggest one I have issues with is The Hunger Games. I know I’m going to get complaints about this one. I only read the first book which I basically finished reading it in four hours after renting it from the school library. That is the first book I have read fully and I never had the interest to even pick up the rest of the books in the series. It had nothing to even do with the storyline.
Another book series I love to hate on is Twilight. I read up to book three in the series but I couldn’t continue reading it. I actually prefer movies that are based on books for this series. I love the series but dang, there are some messed up plots in that series. I was team Edward when I was into the series.
Fifty Shades of Grey, let’s just say this much. It was boring. I couldn’t get past the first three chapters which were going nowhere. I really tried to make myself read this book but I never succeeded in the end. I finally had to drop the book and move on to a new series. There is a to of love to hate about this book series. Those who have read it would know what I mean. It had nothing to do with the plot of the book but truthfully this time around with how it was written. I like books to be engaging from start to finish.
Shall We date series, it’s an Otome app-based game novel series. I love the artwork but I can not get passed the time restraints the games had. Like for instance, to read new chapters you have to play little mini-games to progress on into the story. It became tedious to when there is certain amount you have to get which could take up to 8 hours of work. Not worth the storyline to me. Even though I do love otome games but this series made it hard for me to continue. I read Voltage Inc more now anyways they have different stories that written pretty well.
My last entry is the Immortal Series, I liked the first book it was great to read but then I started the second book. Not sure if it just struck a nerve but there was this one scene in the book that turned me off the whole series. I can remember it clearly. That was the first time I had no initiative to actually finish the book even though I loved the first one. I was in high school during either sophomore or junior year. I was actually pretty upset about the fact that I didn’t want to read it anymore and sadly didn’t bring another book to read at the time. So that was a fun study hall class.
These are the only ones I can come up with as of right now. What books do you love to hate? Also, why do you hate it them? What turned you off from reading them? Is it just one book in the series or all the books in the series?
