For me, the most recent book regret is Dark Matter by Blake Crouch. Predictable from the get-go, bland, boilerplate sci-fi ideas, too many of these way-too-convenient plot devices just to push the story forward. I frankly don’t get the hype, and I am a pretty big science fiction guy.
Another one is Blink by Malcolm Gladwell. I read this in college and this whole book should have been a one-page essay. It was too repetitive, and the whole premise of “trust in your snap judgments and gut reactions” is way too simplistic and honestly stupid. Like all Gladwell books, it was anecdotal, superficial, and a waste of time.
eat pray love
it was given to me as a gift because i like to read and the gifter …doesn’t…but read that one… i think it’s probably the worst book ive actually picked up. i didnt finish
This is one that I don’t think I’d like and am not really interested in but I’m curious about the hype. If someone’s hyped I’ll almost always pick it up. But I usually end up hating them
