DNFs, Disappointments and Worst Books of 2020 || December 2020 [CC]

I thought the world was pretty interesting ... but the actual plot and our main character just weren't doing it so I just skipped that.

it's in its biggest flaws to me are that it's boring, it doesn't have good characters and if you're going to be as racist as this book was you should at least have a good plot, that's my feeling, it was so boring I can't even tell you what happened really

I like divergent

It was way too long, didn't earn its length in my opinion and it didn't finish its story, it's not a complete story

Gideon the Ninth was sold to me as an awesome confusing sci-fi fantasy necromancy thing and I found it mostly just missing the mark on a lot of things.

I did like his iRobot short story collection

this one was a little better but I really didn't like the ending it's kind of like I think these were published in like short story format but it's like a collective narrative and like the last one I didn't like the ending, it made no sense to me so I was just disappointed.

the fourth book in the Dresden file series Summer Knight was a disappointment for me and I think this is because I listened to the audiobook, which I thought I would love because I love the narrator for that audiobook.

I think Eye of the World was for sure the hardest for me to consume but like it just kind of was long and it spent time on things I didn't care about

I like the handmaid's tale I’ve read it I’ve liked it

I like hunger games

there's definitely awesome world building that happens in the fourth book and there is some interesting character development but for the most part I think if I were to currently rank the wheel of time books the third book's my favorite followed by the fourth

I was reading the first 300-400 pages and all of a sudden I was like oh my gosh I see the things coming together and I have my journal out and I’m writing things down to like connect the symbols to things because this has stories within stories like oh this is a symbol to connect to this person and this one and I was doing all of this stuff and I was so excited. Like there's a vlog of me way early in the channel where I’m like okay guys I’m finishing this within an hour, I was so excited and then the ending happens and in my opinion it did not stick the landing.

The Testament does not deserve this award and I cannot believe it got to be on the same stage as the first black woman to win this award, it makes me so mad because it's also again like I say with Brave New World, it's not a great story. It's not very interesting, there's like no tension.

it just wasn't interesting me. The writing style wasn't capturing my imagination there was a lot of telling and not showing especially with huge jumps in our character's development.

I love the Last Wish, read the Last Wish it is… I’m going to link actually Andy’s review of the Last Wish down below because it was so good.

Time of Contempt was so not good. So I think Andre Sapkowski messed up a little bit in how he structured the novels.

for me I think it's thematically rich but it… the plot was pretty boring and I couldn't latch on to characters. I was just disappointed in my experience.
