It’s a question inspired by this post https://www.reddit.com/r/books/s/s2jK2DzFrA by u/oh_sneezeus
Is there any book that is considered a classic or regularly shows up on the “100 books to read before you die” lists and such, you had high expectations before reading and then you ended up absolutey detesting?
For me it’s Blindness by José Saramago, it started off good and then page after page it was becoming more unbearable for me to read, I hated the characters, the things they were doing and the conclusions of the book. I was really disappointed because the plot seemed really good and all I ended up with was frustration.
Is there a book that did the same to you?
After the 4th Harry Potter book I could not keep reading. They were creative at first, but then the movies happened and Rowling stopped writing books and started writing movies. Years later I noticed that what I thought was neat of the next movies wasn’t really invented or given an interesting twist, so I stopped completely my support and love for that franchise since it had nothing for me to value
Same!
Series peaked with Book 3, that kept me up all night reading. I think I might have got an hours sleep before work that day.
