Most overrated book…
Finally!!! A post I can write without even having to think about it!
The most overrated book I have read is…
Yup, Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn is the most overrated book I have read. I read it when it came out, before all the hype had started and I despised it. No offence to Gillian Flynn, but it was and still is one of my least favourite books that I have read.
I found the characters extremely irritating and the story was completely ridiculous. Gone Girl divides people as I think you either love it or hate it. I read Sharp Objects and it was just as bad for me!
Another book that deserves a special mention (for me!!!) for being totally overrated is:
I was so bored reading TGOTT. I thought it was an odd premise, and as with Gone Girl, I hated the characters.
How both of these books are movies (Gone Girl has been released and TGOTT is in production) is beyond me. I always seem to be in the minority with hyped books these days, I just don’t get it!
Am I the only one? 😁
I absolutely loved this book the only thing that let it down for me was the ending but otherwise i thought it was brilliant. i even liked the film also. x
I don’t know why but I just couldn’t get into it! Maybe it’s her writing style!
there are plenty of books that others have raved about that just didnt appeal to me, its good we all have different tastes 🙂
That’s so true x
Hi, great post. I completely agree with you when it come to The Girl On the Train, the characters were all weak and annoying. I posted a review of it yesterday and gave it my all time lowest rating of two stars. Gone Girl on the other hand I really enjoyed.I couldn’t put the book down, it was slightly predictable but I don’t mind that so long as the characters are interesting, which I felt they were in this case.
Thanks for your comment Eileen! Glad I’m not the only one with Girl On The Train! That’s a good point about Gone Girl, I just don’t like her style of writing as I read another of hers and didn’t like it either!
