Yes.. it's literally copy paste.. movie was good because of Aamir and others.. I watched the movie before reading so yeah.. 😆
Even the dialogues were the same in most places! Only the ending was different. It's the only book I've read where the movie came out better😆

🤣 true!! I could barely finish the book.. tab se decide kar liya..not reading him anymore
You are probably the only person I’ve come across who has openly said she doesn’t like Harry Potter. Even if people don’t like it, no one says it openly. I liked the five books I read, but I was never obsessed like most others.
The Namesake is also a highly revered book but I think people liked the movie more than the book.
I feel like Harry Potter is such a huge part of people's childhood that they don't want to acknowledge that the books were bad. Luckily or unluckily, I read Harry Potter when I was 19. And my memories of watching the movies were pretty vague. I have to give one thing to Rowling though. The books are so detailed, so immersive that it's difficult to dislike the books while you're reading it. But once you remove yourself a little, all the plot holes, the problematic aspects just become apparent. Also, my hatred for the books are mounting with every new tidbit she reveals on Twitter, and those cash grab ke naam pe movies she has released.
I haven't watched the movie. Maybe I'll give it a shot.
I agree with Anam, you are the first person for me too who hasn't liked Harry Potter. I started reading it expecting to dnf it because I thought it's a children's book but ended up becoming one of those people who was obsessed with the HP series for years.😆 I recently got off it.
I have mixed feelings about Amish. I loved his Shiva Trilogy, specially the first two books. I didn't like the second series, the Ram Chandra series much.
Jhumpa Lahiri is such a loved author but whenever I read the synopsis for her books, I don't feel like reading them. Maybe a few years later I will be more aboe to appreciate them.
I was thinking about reading Ariadne because I loved reading similar books by Madeline Miller.
I think it's time I make a confession here. I have been obsessed with the world of Harry Potter too in the last few years. While I absolutely hate what JKR came up with, I have read a few fanfics over the years that were just immaculate. I feel like fanfics have really helped in sustaining the hype that HP series gets.
I too loved the first too books by Amish. But I hated, hated the third book in Shiva trilogy. And Ram Chandra series toh I haven't read.
If you know nothing about the Minotaur lore, or like the Minotaur lore as it is, you can give it a go I guess. But I must warn you ki you may find Ariadne so frustrating passive, you'd want to get inside the book and get her to do something.
Miller ke works toh 1000 times better hai iss book se. There's another Greek myth retelling that has been released recently. Daughter of Sparta, I think it's called. I wonder if that book is any good 🤔🤔
Sent, check your PM, lemme know if there's any issue! 😳
Unpopular opinion may be but I absolutely adored Ramchandra series, especially the second and third book.. it goes beyond the stories we've grown up listening.
The characterization and narrative was very interesting! The way relationships have been developed are heartwarming. 😳
Yes you should attempt reading the books some day and I can guarantee you that it won't bore you. And no one can't judge a completely new book by reading its first chapter only. Most of the times, its very hard for me to understand what the book offers actually after completing the first chapter of a book, it needs a lot of will power to keep on reading past that and after four to five chapters you actually started knowing whether you are liking the story or not.Originally posted by: Unique.Sheep
I bought the books in excitement when they came out, all of them at once. But i couldnt get past the first chapter🤣 I still need to attempt reading them again!
I only saw the first movie. It wasnt too bad.

The thing is, fantasy is one of my most hated genres and I dont like reading about wizards/magic and all thats why I know it wont interest me.😆
But yeah I am curious why the book is so popular, and ill only know after reading it maybe!
