Sitting here, I just realized that (almost) every time I post about books, it’s to tell you guys how much I love a book, or how epic a certain book is. Therefore, this post is dedicated to non-awesome books.
Firstly, I really don’t like the book Eragon. The other was only 15 when he wrote it, so maybe I should cut him some slack, but to me it seemed like a pretty bad book. It was full of cliches and there were pages of description. A little description is good, but this was just way too much. I couldn’t even get through the book, but I seem to be in the minority here- most of my friends love it. Maybe I’ll try reading it again, but I’ll skip over the description.
Next is Twilight. Wait, I've already talked about this! To read my rant on Twilight, see the post, “Why Do Vampires Sparkle?”.
Romeo and Juliet. Actually, I’m not sure if I like this book or not, because of the fact that it’s super hard to read. I tried looking up a modern translation online, but it takes forever to read both that and the old version. But it’s a classic, so it should be pretty good. It’s been around for this long, so obviously someone likes it.
A YA series called the Trylle Trilogy is next. The protagonist of this series, Wendy, is a troll ( trylle) but she’s not cool or Shrek-like at all. For some reason, trolls look exactly like humans, except more dazzlingly gorgeous and talented. Like fairies. Or Edward Cullen.
I’ll read almost any genre, except for a few. I don’t like mystery. I don’t like steam punk. For those of you that don’t know, steam punk is a type of fiction that is generally set in Victorian England, except it has all sorts of machines and automatons. A type of alternate history, I guess. I don’t like the books, but I have to admit that the covers usually look amazing.
I mean, look at this cover! Isn't it stunning?
My Smart Question of the Day
How do people who work at bubble-wrap factories resist the temptation to pop all the bubbles? I don’t know about you, but it would drive me insane.
