    Totally. That's why I try to avoid these but now can't bc of Yellow Circle (yup, proper noun now).

    Some books I love I can view and say "I loved this but I can see how someone else may not." And then there are books that I sincerely cannot understand how every person on earth would not enjoy.

    And one of them is being listed here over and over.

    And I will never trust those people again.

  • Why do we do this to each other? These posts always make me so sad.

     

    I don't really have a "hate" list, but a couple that were just okay for me:

    Outlander (I gave it like 3 1/2 stars. It started out very slow for me but I eventually got into it)

    The Book Thief (I just really didn't get it. I almost think I might have liked it more if there wasn't so much hype about it that I'd heard)

    The Night Circus (I plan to re-read this one though. I read this during a very busy time of year for me so I kept falling asleep)

    I didn't even finish The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. Though I own it so I will probably go back and finish it sometime.

  • Guess I'm the odd man out here but I can't think of a time I have gotten upset that someone didn't like a book I did.
    Whether or not you find your own way, you're bound to find some way. If you happen to find my way, please return it, as it was lost years ago. I imagine by now it's quite rusty.”

  • Eh, it makes me a little sad when people can't find the same enjoyment I do from a book, but it doesn't make me upset or judgy. People have different tastes. That's okay.
