Like books that got very popular but you never really could get into.

    Anything by Dan Brown but especially The Da Vinci Code

    I picked this one up “to see what all the fuss was about”, and put it down after about 50 pages.

    Enders Game

    I will possibly upset a lot of people with this one but the twist in the end was obvious really early and the main character was terrible. Really shallow writing. I was honestly shocked when I realised just how popular it was.

    There is so much better SF out there I still don’t understand it.

      Oh no, not Enders Game! I loved it… but I understand the criticism. I felt that the main character not being very likable added to the story, but that’s personal opinion.

      On the Da Vinci Code, it’s a lightweight page turner, I still thought it was enjoyable, but totally forgettable.
