Books everyone praises, but you don't like it

" Haizi's poems". He is a great and talented poet.BUT
emmmmm......Maybe beacuse my experience and knowledge is poor.I think it's just🥑.I prefer like the poems by Tagore

I don’t like Stephen King and Dan Brown

Justine and Juliette Series by Marquis De Sade. No need to state any reason since these books slowly kill the humanity within.

War and peace and Martin chuzlevit

Why War and Peace though?

Why War and Peace though?

I just didn't understand it

Ah, that makes sense. It's hard just to read as well, I'm currently reading it and I get you haha. I like it though.

Lord of the Flies. It's really brutal and children are not children there.

I like the movie more, tho my mom says the book is much better

I personally don’t like Harry Potter, I probably should have read the books first and only then watch the movies. Since I did the controversial, the books are no longer interesting for me.

Romeo and Juliet. I had to read it for school and for me there's just NOTHING romantic in it. The whole relationship between them is just unrealistic. You don't even know what they love so much about each other.

I'd disagree, people then differ a lot from people now. And their relationships were much different, as well as the society and the way people were raised. And I'm surprised that you don't know that it is the people who are loved and not *something* in them.

I'd have to agree with Romeo and Juliet, the whole story just doesn't make a lot of sense even if you regard the time it was written in. Especially the whole "oh no she is dead, no I have to die; oh no she wasn't dead, but now he is, so I have to die as well" is just plain bs. I don't get why people think it's romantic to commit suicide because someone didn't tell you in time that the love of your life is just sleeping and not dead. Totally overrated story

Lord of the Flies. It's really brutal and children are not children there.

If you are really 14, you read this book at the wrong time. This book shows things we can understand only when we have a life experience

I know that you should love a person and not something in them. I explained it wrong, sorry. But they were engaged and found the love of their life after meeting ONCE and talking like three words with each other. I just don't think that's realistic.

One Hundred Years of Solitude
I like Marquez's books but I didn't really understand it. I prefer The General in His Labyrinth and Love in the Time of Cholera.

Ah, that makes sense. It's hard just to read as well, I'm currently reading it and I get you haha. I like it though.

Ohh I'm reading War and Peace too. Yeah it requires some historical knowledge.

Lord of the Flies. It's really brutal and children are not children there.

Yeah, that's probably true. Although, interestingly, it is often regarded as a 'children's' book by many libraries/websites.

I know that you should love a person and not something in them. I explained it wrong, sorry. But they were engaged and found the love of their life after meeting ONCE and talking like three words with each other. I just don't think that's realistic.

I mean it's not really about realism, it is a different genre. Realism is not the focus here, it is more about the greed of humans and the general definition of 'the power of love'. And as to 'overrated' story, there had been many readaptations of this book, and lots and lots of modern plots are based on this play. There should be some reason there, shouldn't it?

Anything by Stephen King. It's not bad, but it's also not THAT good.
