Question: What is a book that you hear a lot about, but have no desire to read!?
Mine would have to be Twilight!. It seems the people who like the same books/authors as me really hated that series!. So, I will most likely stay away from it!.
Thanks in advance :]Www@QuestionHome@Com

Well!.!.!. I will try nearly any author once, but the ones I have given up on after trying include Eragon (badly written), numerous chick lit and dick lit (detective novels that are the male equivalent of chick lit), Dan Brown books and Jodi Piccault (I dislike books that have more than five twists and blatantly manipulate your emotions at the expense of plot and character development, even when they are not as over-dramatic or melodramatic as these two authors)!.!.!.

However, I would recommend at least trying each author, even if it's so you know what you are criticizing them for first hand!. And so you know what bad writing looks like!. But there is no book I would not try reading!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The ones mentioned here, I will have to take:
I do not plan to read Artemis Foul as it bored me the first 50 pages!. I do not plan on reading Eragon because it does not appeal to me!. I found what another poster said about its publishing very interesting!. Twilight I actually like!. While it's overrated and not as good as every girl says it is, it doesn't necessarily mean it's bad!. Of course, if you have other things to read, you probably will read those first!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I read Twilight: Peer pressure, sigh*!. I find that it was alright but not the fantastic book that so many people said it was!. Then i read the 2rd and third one!. Now those were awful!. i keep hearing about the 4th one but i have no desire to read it!.

it used to be the da vinci code and the harry potter books for me tho!. Again i read them and again i was disappointed!. but now i get to complain about these books since i've read them! LOL!. i also do not want to the third book of eragon (eragon have gotten much less popular now tho) or "great" classics like jane austen!.

but the thing is, even though i dont want to read them, i usually do end up with the book!. sigh* I have no willpower over my curiosity!.

But hope this helped and cheers!. And hopefully one day soon, people will stop clogging the book section of answers!.yahoo with, "Who do u like better, jacob or edward!?" or "When is Midnight Sun coming up," etc!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Eragon and it's sequels because the vast majority of articles, reviews and general comments on it are negative!. Apparently it's a poorly written rip-off of almost everything by a child who only got published because his parents paid money to do so!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I read Twilight and it was only OK!. I have no desire to read the others in the series, even tho lots of people here talk about how great the whole saga is!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Artemis Foul!. I heard that book had no interesting plot, and that it was just a blown up version of the SOUE by Lemony Snicket that no child could comprehend!.


Yes Kate! I SO agree with you!. :)Www@QuestionHome@Com
