Uh-Oh waste of money there. I would've said lend me the books, I might end up reading, but who knows I might not. There are a lot of other books that I want to still get to lol

Yeah it was a bad version of Hunger Games and Selection series mixed together. Really not that great. Funny I see the new book around a lot in every department store I go. Totally popular

Have you read the Selection Series?🤣

Bad books always reminds me of Twilight. Even though I haven't read a single line from that book. Oh wait, FOG was fanfiction of Twilight. Huh. Explains. *cough*

I shouldn't even badmouth Twilight given I haven't given it a try in any way possible. So yeah.

Same! I had a good one year (or a little less) gap before I decided to finish the first book.

It was going so good. I was loving Clary and Jace and stupid drama started to unfold and crap piling up. That crap just kept piling up until the 3rd book. Jeez!

I wasn't ready for the second book but like you said, so many CC fans! Jeez you can't run away far enough from them.

It was boring. Stayed boring. And then I thought I am done with this crap. It will just never get better.

You missed Jace's drama.

😆

Intruding in the conversation, Twilight series is great. Compared to many other series this one is a lot better. You should try it. FSOG is tolerable if you can stomach whole kinky stuff and the writing style.

Oh my god, SAME!!! Jace's drama started in book 4 again, and I was just done. I really thought it'll go away and maybe we'll get that sassy sarcastic Jace back from the first half of the City of Bones, but nope. They got together and even that wasn't enough for him! Okay.

I only gave a chance to The Infernal Device because I heard it was better than TMI. Don't be fooled, it was THE SAME! This time the main guy is screwed up from the very beginning.

The characters even had similar names🤣

Theresa Gray - Like Clarissa Fray from TMI🤣

It's not that great. Only one character was nice, but not enough for me to continue reading in boredom.

<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#003366">Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte. I loathe it. The language is
out of this world, but if we strip that away, it is only a tale of the abusive
relationship between a whiny, insecure girl and her Svengali master who is old
enough to be her dad!😕 I honestly couldn't figure out why people worship
it!</font>

<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#003366"></font>

<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#003366">East of Eden by John Steinbeck. I have never read a book
with so many ugly and negative characters. No more comments.</font>

<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#003366"></font>

<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#003366">Pride & Prejudice by Jane Austen. 😆 Barry Pierce has an
amazing video about it on youtube.</font>

<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#003366">One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. A
dying old man who wants to have sex with a very little girl because he won't be
alive by the time she becomes sexually matured.🤢 No amount of fabulous
writing and Nobel Prize will change that.😡</font>

<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#003366">I am generally not into modern trash.😳 So don't
know how most of them read.</font>

Another one will be Never Never written by Colleen Hoover in collaboration with Tarryn Fisher.

Well.. I truly am an ardent follower of Colleen Hoover and I love Tarryn Fisher's individual stories. So when I came to know that these two were writing together, the expectation skyrocketed.

The first part is actually good. There's suspense and one will be hooked but what happened with the next two? Why on the earth the duo stretched a single story so much by making it a trilogy! It was a disaster. I still completed the series just because of the authors but it was simply waste of time! Wish I had read something else in that time!😔

They explained somewhere why they had to make into 3 books. Due to their contracts , they cannot release a co-written book as one only. So in order to do so , they had to divide it in 3 little books 😊
