Most Disappointing Books of 2018

Reviews11

I had a hard time finishing this book I remember being in the beginning but then it went slowly downhill and towards the end I just wanted to get it over there I was surprised that I didn't like this book more than I did

I found it to be silly the premise was just not interesting enough to drag me in and I knew that it was going to be a series of many books so I was not going to invest my time finishing this book

Crazy Rich AsiansKevin Kwan
Not a fan

the humor of this book did not fall to my liking and the starring itself felt very silly to me and then the main thing is that the message of this book was just plain stupid

those two characters I loved and those are the ones that maybe keep on reading but in this book these two characters make the dumbest decisions that just ruined the book for me and the whole plan was based on these bad decisions

I found this book to be well it read like a comedy in the movies and I don't care for comedies so that was one of my main problems with this book it felt like the plot was pushed forward with unimaginable and unbelievable things that kept happening to our protagonist

I actually didn't even finish this book I think I made it about half way and then I gave up because this book was just pure make vagueness it was not clear to me what it was really about it was a long ramble on life

The Poppy WarR. F. Kuang

the beginning was a five star read for me we are at this Academy with our protagonist who is a young girl who is trained to be a warrior in Asia somewhere it's a fantasy book so it's hard to pinpoint exactly where we are but then the book turns into something completely different it's about war well as you can tell from the title and I lost interest

this is a clear example a typical example of a book by Sarah waters which is great to begin with but then as we moved forth the ending I lose hope and I lose my fascination for the plot and the characters and the story in itself because this is another one of those books that ended really badly

this book was ok it was a three star read for me so it wasn't bad at all it was definitely interesting but I think that once again the hype got to me and I still don't understand why so many people find this story absolutely beautiful and impeccable because I just found it ordinary and interesting enough but not the most amazing thing I've ever read

the premise was plain stupid I did not care for the chase that we have in the book I did not really care for the characters the only thing that really cracked me was the disease that all mean going to has
