Monyka Manoyrine | 5 comments I want to know what you think was a bad sequel to an awesome book.

Mine is obviously



I guess the first book was the as bad as the second, but it took me until reading that one to face reality. The "heroine" is actually very annoying and useless. All she does is mope and whine and cry about boys. She was once tough in the first book but that trait is now officially gone.

Stephi ♥ Shatter Me (Shatter Me, #1) by Tahereh Mafi In my opinion was AMAZING! Unravel Me (Shatter Me, #2) by Tahereh Mafi , Not so much!


But if you want it in the other order, Reckless by Cornelia Funke is the first book and not all that good, but Fearless (Reckless, #2) by Cornelia Funke is absolutely perfect, utterly wonderful!

and Inkspell (Inkworld, #2) by Cornelia Funke as the 2nd book, lets Inkheart (Inkworld, #1) by Cornelia Funke and Inkdeath (Inkworld, #3) by Cornelia Funke down!

Michelle  (michellecharlotte) I loved Interview with the Vampire (The Vampire Chronicles, #1) by Anne Rice and I loved The Vampire Lestat (The Vampire Chronicles, #2) by Anne Rice even more, but then came bookcover:The Queen of the Damned|43758] and, though it wasn't badly written or anything, I just didn't like it. Still I had to continue the series, so I read The Tale of the Body Thief (The Vampire Chronicles, #4) by Anne Rice which I really liked, so I still continued the series with reading Memnoch the Devil (The Vampire Chronicles, #5) by Anne Rice . And this book was even worse than Queen of the Damned! But a lot of people really liked The Vampire Armand (The Vampire Chronicles, #6) by Anne Rice which is the next book in the series, so I read it too. I also really liked this one, but I still haven't read the next book in the series because I'm afraid I will get disappointed again. Still the Vampire Chronicles are great and my favorite vampire series :).

Tom Krug (thomas_krug) | 22 comments Ok, at the risk of making people mad... Mockingjay (The Hunger Games, #3) by Suzanne Collins

Hated it. It felt rushed, even forced. I had no connection to the characters. I didn't even care when Primrose died, and that was supposed to be one of the most heart-wrenching scenes in the book! I didn't read the book so much as endure it. Sad to say so, because the first book was so good.

I completely agree! That was absolutely terrible! To be honest, I wasn't a huge fan of either of the sequels, although Finnick Odair was an amazing character - my favourite! It was written really wierdly too, I didn't even know (spoiler) that Primrose died until about two chapters afterwards, because her actual death had relied so heavily on metaphors, it was hard to understand what was actually going on!

I agree with you! And also I think it's weird how Katniss hadn't even liked Peeta at any point in the story and was just showing off to the people, but still ended up with him like it was just a typical romance story.

I felt the same way! In my opinion suzanne collins should just have stopped after "The Hunger Games" because it would have been so much better without the sequels. And also I completely forgot that Primrose died until I read it here.

Angie The land of Painted Cave by Jean M Auel. First four in the series of Earth's Children were great and five was ok, but I do not know what Ms. Auel was thinking or doing in the writing on #6. It was awful! Nothing that had been set up in the first books were answered in the last book of the series. There was so much that could have been done with the book, but it wasn't done. A very big disappointment.

Anna | 15 comments Everything that came after Marked (House of Night, #1) by P.C. Cast .
I stoped three books into this bloated excuse for a series and the protangonist gets more unbearable with every book.

I agree with that. I heard really good about this trilogy, and the idea sounded fantastic and unique, but it was really disappointing for me. I wanted to like it so I finished the trilogy, but I never cared about a single character in those books. Wendy made me mad, Loki wasn't very well developed, and everything else was kind of meh. Finn was my favorite, and nothing even worked out with him. It just fell pretty flat.
