Billy's Answer
There have been many books I have been disappointed with over the years. Two recent titles that come to mind are Cari Mora by Thomas Harris and Highfire by Eoin Colfer.

I've not read either of those books but hopefully you are enjoying your current read!
ReplyDeleteAm I enjoying my current read? Well, not really. I am reading Shadows of Foxworth by V.C. Andrews (Andrew Neiderman).
DeleteI've enjoyed some of Thomas Harris's books but haven't read that one. Hopefully your enjoying what your reading now. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't recommend reading Cari Mora.
DeleteThese days I tend not to read reviews of hyped books and let myself gravitate to them naturally. If there's one that I want to read but know it's a hype author, I won't read any reviews so I don't go into it with higher expectations.

Have a GREAT day!

There are way to many "paid" reviews from so-called mainstream critics. I don't trust them anymore.
DeleteI haven't heard of either of those books.
ReplyDeleteI don't recommend reading them.
DeleteI just don't read books that I'm not interested in, and I love all the books I read, I'm not picky. I'm very lucky there!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear that Highfire was disappointing to you. I have that one on my TBR pile. Sometimes it helps me though when I come across a not so positive view of a book I want to read--it helps me keep my expectations more realistic. Thak you for hosting, Billy!
