Top Ten Books I Was Wrong About Part 2
Hello everyone! So we all (or at least I have done this multiple times) have dismissed a book after looking at the cover, reading the summary and/or reading a couple of pages/chapters of the book then a bit later started (re)reading it and realized you actually loved it. Well, maybe not loved it specifically but misjudged it (sometimes horribly). Now I did do a post about this topic before which is why this post is part two of it. Why do it now you ask? Well, it’s because I just ran into this situation a little bit ago and so when I was thinking of what I should do for today, I turned back to that experience. So here are the Top Ten Books I Didn’t Think I’d Like. Note: the books in red are the books I don’t really like, the books in yellow were books I only sort of like and the books in green are the books I loved/liked. Hope you enjoy:
1) The Divergent trilogy by Veronica Roth
2) The Maze Runner by James Dashner
3) Matched by Ally Condie
4) The Uglies series by Scott Westerfield
5) The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
6) The Nancy Drew Series by Carolyn Keene
7) You Won’t Remember This by Kate Blackwell
8) The Fault in Our Stars by John Green
9) Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard
10) Paper Towns by John Green
Ok, well that’s all for today! So what do you guys think: have any of you read the above books before? and was there ever a time where you wrong about a book? I would love to know! Thanks, have a great day/night, and tata for now!
Probably a good thing I haven’t read any of these books right??? Hahahaha. I don’t think Green is for me…and I usually tend to stay away from any books that are hyped up..so…I prob won’t be reading any of these…

I thought I would love Matched!! But it was a complete disappointment, unfortunately. I finished the series, in hopes of it getting better, but sadly, nope. If anything got worse I think. ;/ Interesting list! Most people like Paper Towns (me included, ha ha), it’s cool to see someone who doesn’t as much. 🙂

I read Matched a couple of years ago and didn’t like it and I thought that, like Maze Runner, maybe if I read the rest it would be good/better but I never got to read the rest of the books but I’m def. not crying over it lol I may reread one day….I have found that so many people love Paper Towns and I want to reread it before the movie comes out but I just don’t like it….hahahaha thanks 🙂

I know I’m having a bit of a crazy week too 🙂 I’m excited too I think he’s great! but I heard a rumor like a month ago that it was going to be Matt Smith and I think I would’ve liked him better

🙂 mmm I’m not sure I heard that too and I love Matt Smith, I just think Eddie seems more like Newt than Matt is…

I haven’t actually seen Eddie in anything… I’ve just seen him at the different award shows so I really can’t be a good judge 🙂

I haven’t either but he gets quite a bit of awards and everyone loves him so I think he’ll be pretty good…not to mention the fact that Eddie=Newt in my mind

Yeah and he looks like a Newt if you just look at him 🙂

The literary peasant here again. Nope I haven’t read any of these. I once read the opening of Dune, hoping that it would be good. I continued to read it through what seemed to be thousands of pages and it turned out to be awful. It was one of the few times that the film was far superior.

Hahahaha that’s a horrible experience….it feels so wrong when the book is awful and the movie is so much better….I haven’t read Dune…who’s it by??

Frank Herbert. It’s a SF saga of about five books. The problem with the book was that it didn’t have the music written by Ennio Morricone that the movie had.That and it was boring.
