Welcome to the Book Blogger Hop!
This Week's Prompt:
Are there any books that are considered terrible, but you love?╍Submitted by Snapdragon, Snapdragon Alcove
My Answer:
Now, we all have our opinions when it comes to books—likes, dislikes, and everything in between—and I'm sure there are titles I've cherished that others might throw in the "never again" pile. I can think of a few James Patterson novels that I enjoyed, even though some readers weren't shy about voicing their disdain. It’s almost as if there’s a secret competition among readers to see who can dislike a book more. I remember last year when I penned a less-than-flattering review of Blood Sugar. One reader took it upon themselves to call me out, claiming my critique was overly harsh. Well, as the saying goes, opinions are like a**holes; everyone has one, and yes, they can all be a bit stinky sometimes.
So here we are, navigating the unpredictable landscape of literature, where each story sparks a different reaction. Perhaps that’s what makes the world of reading so fascinating—your next favorite book could be just around the corner, or it might just end up being a total dud. Either way, I'm ready for my next read and see where it takes me

I said something similar as well. We all have different opinions. One fantasy book still gets craze and I couldn't get into the first book, thought it was the exact opposite of what everyone else was saying. And in the same light others found fantasy reads I adored hard to get into. So yes we all have different opinions, different tastes.

I'm not into hard fantasy; I've tried, but couldn't get into these weird worlds that all seem to be way too familiar. Too many strange and too many pronouns, names, and places. When the book has its own dictionary in the back, I tend to say, "Not for me." However, there are lots of fantasy lovers out there.
DeleteWe do all have different tastes and sometimes I think that I can be a bit generous when it comes to rating, but when I think about marking it down I can't think of a good enough reason why 😂
ReplyDeleteHave a good weekend!
Well said! Have a wonderful weekend. :)
ReplyDeleteVery well said! Tastes vary and what on person loves another person may dislike. I hope you have a great week!
ReplyDeleteWell said! I've loved books that most people disliked and disliked books that most people liked. It's so subjective. Hope you have a great week!
