Re: Who is an author everybody seems to love and you can't stand
I read Ice Station and Temple. To be fair they are page turners but I felt nothing for the characters.
I tried to read Scarecrow and gave up. This blows up and then this person is killed and then this blows up and then these guys are killed. And then this blows up..

I totally relate. I think it's definitely mind-blowing and exciting when you're younger, but after reading other books it doesn't pack the same punch.ReviewerDiksha wrote: ↑19 Aug 2017, 09:31 Paulo Cohelo. Everyone around me just loved the Alchemist. And everyone was like it the best book ever and all. And when I read that book. Disappointed. It has been overhyped so much! I just dont understand why?

Saying that is almost sacrilege because of his prominence in West Indian literature but somehow his works never grew on me.

I get so many recommendations to read her books and I've tried multiple times but can't seem to care about any of her work.

I second this. I've actually come to the point where my hate for her books has become almost irrational. I can't help it, I just really, really dislike her books.[/quote]
Hahaha the irrational comment made me think of Sophie Hanna and the "new" "Poirot" "books".
I'm a really REALLY big fan of Agatha Christie. So when I heard somebody would be writing new Poirot books, I had mixed feelings. I ended up reading the first one, I WANTED so much to have new Poirot stories...What a disappointment. I HATED everything about the book.
After that, people have told me "but hey, her other mystery books are really good!" and I'm just like
NO
NOOOOOOOOO
NO!
NO.
NEVER.
NO.

Oh my goodness! This just put me off! How can someone attempt to continue from where Agatha Christie left off?!
