Ohh never read them! Good point!!


message 52: by Karis (new)

Karis I'm jumping in again ;) I've read a couple of the Tin Tin volumes and I've never found anything especially bad about them. There is a lot of action at points but a lot of it is just the whole plot and history. I know that there would be a lot more violence in a movie version but then it is just a cartoon it really isn't that bad. I've never watched the movie though.

Lyd's Archive (7/'15 to 6/'18) (violabelcik) 1. A Thousand Pieces of you: stupidity, sex, and plot holes
2. Tiger's Curse racism, sexism, dumb narrator
3. The Secret Daughter of the Tsar stupidity, sex, and poptential stereotypes; the characters acted like teenagers despite being 40-somethings
4 The Tsarina's Daughter historical inaccuracy, sex
5 Perfected Haven't I seen this before? It's all formula!
6 Someday Dancer immature hypocrite protagonist was real but unsympathetic
7 Dreaming Anastasia stupidity, use of "Jesus" as an exclamation in unnecessary quantities, unnecessary plot elements, confusion, stupidity, historical inaccuracy.

@Marya- Ohh, I'll never read them! Those are perfectly good reasons for me to never pick up any of those books!! Haha xP


message 58: by Karis (new)

Karis @ MK & Malia I don't really mean that is boring but more that it really didn't focus on the violence and glorify it like I'm sure a movie would. I enjoyed the books when I was younger but I wouldn't watch the movie version even if given the chance.

brooke1994  (formerlynarnian525) | 679 comments Don't read Twilight, it's a waste of time! A lot of people don't realize it but the teen vampire phenomenon glorifies demonic supernatural spirits.

Caitlyn (caitlynjones1217) Don't read A Wrinkle in Time unless you REALLLY want to be confused. I didn't understand it at all. I hated it.

Salma (louvrespaces) | 52 comments I will never recommend the book ''marked'' by P.C Cast to anybody!First of all,the book tried to put the church in a bad light and secondly,there was one inappropriate scene that really creeped me out!It's a series but I read the first book(marked) and read half of the second book but gave up. The second book I wouldn't recommend is Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown.Sure the book was a bestseller and all that but to me it was a horror in disguise,total blasphemy!I regret reading it, though I skipped some part.PLEASE DON'T TRY IT!


message 66: by May͛a (new)

May͛a (rhapsodyinblue) OH. I read it before. I didn't mind all the vampires and such, but the main characters were just so annoying -.- I hated the plot. It wasn't my cup of tea, so I didn't continue the second book. I havent read the Da Vinci Code though, after all these years

Victoria | 3 comments One book that had really good reviews was The Young Elites and it sounded okay but it wasn't it had a lot of evil to it and vulgar things.

Liam #20. I think we're on 20 xD anyway:

Don't read Raising Dragons by Bryan Davis. Sure it was a Christian book, but everything about it was garbage. Even the Christian themes were nonexistent. They were just kinda thrown on randomly to make it a Christian book. And the characters were too black and white for me. Here's the goodies, here's the baddies. DON'T YOU DANG WELL CONFUSE THEM!!! It was annoying. It was soooo squeaky clean xD one line even had to clarify that a hug between two guys was a 'very masculine hug', so as to make sure all parents didn't think any characters could possibly be gay or something....
-_-

Me either..


message 72: by Sally (new)

Sally Zimmer | 5 comments As for the romance books They just don't feed me the way my soul needs to be fed spiritually. I love the non fiction CHRISTian.. but to each his own.


The Batman (Reagan) (thebatman7424) So... probably an unpopular opinion, but I hated The Blood of Olympus. All of Rick Riordan's other books are awesome, but this one is so disappointing. The fight that they've been building up for four and a half books takes two pages. Also, the author panders to the audience by taking a relatively unimportant side character and giving him an arc (In which he is unconscious for the majority of) and bringing him and an even less important character out of the closet. In Trials of Apollo, which otherwise is a good book, the same two characters keep showing up to remind the audience that "Hey, we're gay!" Even Apollo himself admits to having once been gay several times.

Don't ever read Awareness by Anthony de Mello!

I agree about Mary Connealy's books being predictable; just uninteresting to me.

Steve Stroble | 4 comments 26. The Communist Manifesto -- Karl Marx. A diabolical book that inspired the Communist dystopias in the USSR, China, Eastern Europe, many African nations, North Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia, Cuba, Venezuela and is currently the mindset and worldview of billions of people alive today, even though communism has been responsible for the deaths of hundreds of millions of those who tried to survive the dictators who thought they were God on Earth.

We need to get to 100 y'all...and I'm out of bad books. Shocker, I know. :P

Chaya & Cinnamon (chayacinnamon) | 215 comments Some books a reader doesn't even have to read for them to have a place on the "Don't Read" list - obviously Hitler's book isn't worth reading.
