For Lost in Books meme, The Book List - a short and fun meme that lets you make and share lists of books.
This week's topic is - Books You Should Love, But Actually Hate
1. Harry Pot
ter by J. K. Rowling- not just The Sorcerer's Stone, but all of them, I just could not get into these. My husband and son have both devoured them as have numerous students, they are just not for me. Not a big fan of the movies either, so that has nothing to do with it.

I had a hard time believing it at all. I know others just loved it, but not me.

3. Atonemen
t by Ian McEwan - I was the only on in my book club that did not like thisselection. In fact, it was one of the few books I have never finished. I could not connect with any of the characters and the plotline just left me cold. I was disappointed, because I really like Ian McEwan and have read (and liked) many of his other books, especially Amsterday. Again, didn't see the movie either.
To join the fun, like up to The Book List at Lost in Books!
I did see the movie Atonement and then I tried to read the book. I really just did not get into it even though I liked the movie. Usually when I read the movie it makes me want to read the book more. Not in this case.
ReplyDeleteI felt the same way when I tried to read Atonement! I couldn't finish it either. I coincidentally just got the movie from Netflix to see if I could get into it that way. We'll see!
ReplyDeleteWhat?!? You don't like Harry Potter? :-P *LOL* I love the Harry Potter books, but I was a kid who devoured fantasy and magic books. I wouldn't expect them to appeal to everybody. I haven't read the others, though I did see the movie Atonement.
ReplyDeleteInteresting list, hon! I'll have to think on this one. And you're good at hiding your dislikes because I had NO idea you didn't like Harry Potter.
