books that have disappointed you

[onelife]

in a similar vein to "books that have moved you", i introduce this new thread. we have all read books that have been hyped by the publisher, the media, reviews, family and/or friends.

what books have you read, that you thought (or hoped) you might like, but did not?!

i'll start things off.

i bought where the heart is, by billie letts, for $2.99 (second-hand). on amazon, it gets 4.5 stars, as reviewed by 1266 people. holy crap! not many books have that many reviews, not to mention 4.5 stars! i had high hopes, as it was also one of oprahs picks. not that that swayed me, either way, but i figured i'd give it a read.

it was somewhat heartwarming, but mostly anticlimactic. i thought it was just okay. pls share your views, if youve read it.

i also know there are other books that have disappointed me, and i'll add them as i think of them.

thanks for listening and for your thoughts.

:-)
