Day 8: Most Overrated Book

I'm taking part of the 30 Day Book Challenge.  Click the link to do it too (and add your blog to my meme)! 

One man's trash is another man's treasure.  Surely that saying regards books too.  The book I think is the most overrated is a book many people love.  It's also not a book, it's a whole series. I just wasn't impressed.  I found it lacking.  I do not believe this author is a particularly great writer.  Stephen King agrees with me.  I do not like to bash other authors so I will just leave it at that.





That's right!  I hate the entire Twilight Saga by Stephanie Meyer.  I loathe these books.  I worked at a major bookstore during the Harry Potter craze.  I had to work the midnight releases and the Harry Potter parties.  Harry Potter deserved all the fan fare.  I didn't think Twilight was as deserving.  I bought them all.  I read them all.  I kept hoping these books would get better.  In my opinion, they never did.  Not impressed.

  1. I agree totally. I tried reading them and couldnt even get 1/4 of the way through the first book.

  2. The books were good, but after I read them they began to drive me nuts...like, I couldn't really understand why exactly I liked them in the first place. I then realized that I only really liked the first one, and read the others more out of obligation to finish them out. But you're totally right: the Harry Potter books definitely deserved the fanfare.
