Books I Didn't Really Like

Here is a list of books I read (or started reading) that I didn't really like for one reason or another. Please do not be offended if you like some of these books. We all have different opinions.

- Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick
I read five chapters. The writing style annoyed me and the plot didn't draw me in at all.

- Halo by Alexandra Adornetto
I read about half. It just dragged for me and the only thing in the plot was romance. Romance is fine in small amounts (or even in large amounts, really) but a plot with all romance? That annoys me, especially when the guy is way to perfect.

- Under the Never Sky by Veronica Rossi
I read this book at the same time as Divergent (because the authors have such similar names). It took me two days to read divergent. It took me two weeks to finish Under the Never Sky. The plot was fine, but it was somehow to fast and too slow at the same time. I only finished it because I wanted to know the ending, which I guess does say something.

- The Selection by Kiera Cass
Writing: Fine, Plot: Predictable. I read all of it because it's somehow kind of addicting I also read the sequel which is a bit better but still predictable. Everyone knows who she is going to end up with. I'm not going to bother reading the last book when it comes out.

- Septimus Heap by Angie Sage
The plot was interesting, though a bit predictable. I liked some of the characters. What ruined it for me was the writing style. It was kind of odd and not very well done. I read all seven books, and I liked the fifth one a bit, but still, I'm disappointed.

- Game Changer by Margarete Peterson Haddix
I've read other books by her, and I liked them. But this one was just weird. I like weird books usually, but this one kind of disturbed me.

- So You Want to be a Wizard? by Dianne Duanne
I read this book because I was on vacation and it was the only book I had. It was terrible. The writing was awful. It was weird (with other dimensions and stuff) but it wasn't done well at all. The characters were completely one-dimensional (which was funny considering the different dimensions they traveled through) and one of the characters was a white whole. It's like a black hole except white. I don't even know.

- The Maze Runner by James Dashner
Cool plot, but not enough emotional connection. All the characters died which got kind of boring after a while, but it had a lot of action, so the plot wasn't boring. The second book scared me more than any other book ever has. I would have the liked the series if it weren't for that.
