Ever Read a Book You Didn't Know If You Hated or Loved?

I can't figure out if I loved A Clockwore Orange or if I hated it.

I have a problem with Twilight.

For one, it seems like the author overused the thesaurus, the main character is boring and dull. I don't see how a vampire could fall in love with her.

And not only Edward, but like 2 other guys. She's not fascinating. I'd slap her if she were real. She's all like, "Why are you being so nice to me?"

Don't we wish that's how people would really react to the new kid?

It's not.

By the end of the series, I thought I liked it. Then I realized, I didn't.

Sugar Rush. It was horrible and ever so hard to read, but such a brilliant book.

yup. i read Things Fall Apart last year.
and i STILL cant figure out if i liked it or not lmao

I had to read the Alquimista ( in POrtuguese) for my A Levels. I can't decide if I hated or I might actually like it. Confuses the besus out of me...and YES, I do confuse myself. Can you imagine what I do to others? :D

Heart Shaped Box by Joe Hill. I read it because everyone seemed to rave about it, but halfway through I got kind of bored. I finished it anyway, but it was kinda... meh.

Oh, god. My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult. I just thought she could have tied everything together better at the ending - to me, it just seemed like an easy way out, plus it read like it thought it was better than other books, I don't know. But it's the idea that I loved.

Evermore. It was too cliché to be loved, but it wasn't hateable.

To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee...I started reading it and I didn't like it very much but by the end I realized how good of a book it was.

Twilight. I was turning the pages thinking 'this is really annoying me... but I can't stop reading it!' haha.
I started reading The Knife of Never Letting Go. I got bored after 3 chapters and really couldn't carry on. I went back to it 2 weeks later and realized I'd stopped just where it really picked up and I read it in about a day. It was one of the best books I've read but I just kept stopping and picking it back up a few weeks later and getting addicted all over again.

At the moment, I'm reading The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger and I have no idea if I like it or hate it... It's different.
Holden's hilarious and his actions are funny. I love to read about him, but he hasn't done anything spectacular. Although, I am only on chapter ten so I'm going to continue reading it and see how it goes.

Something Wicked This Way Comes, by Ray Bradbury.
Very strange book.

That's how I felt.
Everyone raved about it and so I read it, but I was really unsure all the way through.
But in the end, I did enjoy it.

At the moment, I'm reading Step On A Crack by James Patterson and Michael Ledwidge and I'm very unsure about what I think about it. It's not bad, but it's not pulling me in like James Patterson's other books do. I'm hoping it's like Cross Country, where I felt the same as I started reading it but I soon got into it after I got farther into the book.

Another book I wasn't sure whether I liked or not was Ellen Foster by Kaye Gibbons. It's a messed up plot, and I like the fact that it was written but it just didn't satisfy me like I thought it would've.

I'd have to say the Twilight Saga has confused me a lot!
After reading the first I thought, okay this is slightly boring, but i gave it another chance and read the second book "New Moon". After reading this I was just blew away, I must say this is my favourite book in the series.
Then moving onto "Eclipse", I just couldn't get into it! It could never catch my eye or get me interested. By the time it got to Breaking Dawn i just skim read that as i had lost all interest!
What also bugs me is... Now suddenly the shops are filled with vampire books and thats all you hear people talking about. The latest blood sucker book.
Whhyyyyyyyyyy? Why do people think just because Twilight is a hit that the new craze should be vampires! I attempted to read another Vampire book by a different author and just gave up. They are all so cliche and boring.

My opinion anyway.

Same here; the format was just so different and to be honest, parts of the novel kind of bored me. I'm still confused on whether or not I thought it was a good book or not.

The Island of Dr. Moreau by H.G Wells did the same thing. I mean, I didn't really like it, since it was kind of simply worded but the overall themes were so relevant to the time it was published.

Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter by Laurell K. Hamilton.
Seriously, the plot is nice and stuff and the guys are HOT... well, some of them (Nathaniel, Richard, Micah, Jean-Claude, Jason, Asher, Wicked and Truth, Damian, Rafael, Donovan and the newly added Crispin). But the relationship made me... feel so... MAD.
But I still love the guys and Anita.
Better yet... Marmee Noir the bi*ch is dead in Skin Trade. Darn, I don't know to like or don't like this book.

The Giver by Lois Lowry.
I'm not really sure how I feel about it.
There were some things that I found interesting about it, but I didn't enjoy the ending or a lot of parts in the book...
I'm not too sure about it.

Dracula. I loved the book in itself, but the letters and journal entry format was really weird. Brilliant though.

I had to read The Septembers of Shiraz for school, and while it was hard to read and get through, looking back....I realize that it's not a bad book at all. I wouldn't mind rereading it without having to take a test on it later.
