Now we're getting to the part of the challenge that will not score me any favor points. I am going to be honest about these books. I had a hard time telling the difference between books I hate and books that were really blown out of proportion.
The Night Circus was one of those I wanted so badly. And then I read it and was pretty let down. The imagery was nice and whimsical, but the ending was so weird. Not to mention a letdown. It made me scratch my head and wonder WTF. I read the whole book for THIS?! This is why I never read popular fiction.
The Angel Experiment is the first Max Ride book. I got it for free, I think. Or at Goodwill or something. It was enjoyable enough, but I sure don't see what all the fuss is about. It was just another teen action, James Patterson is a fucking factory, Mary Sue novel. I've read 5 of these, and the kids are getting more and more Mary Sue. Now they can breathe under water and fly and read minds. I know it's a series for kids but geez.
I Am Number Four was basically Superman. That's it. Alien with super powers wants to save people. Runs from other aliens that threaten the world. Superman. Enough said.
Bloodlines is the first in the series after Vampire Academy. And let me tell you, Sydney is one dumbass woman. The whole book, she seriously couldn't figure out the obvious plot going on around her. I just wanted to slap her and throw her in front of a bus. She was so racist and mean I couldn't figure out how they all loved her. But Adrian is sweet, so I tolerated it.
