Books That Were Just 'Meh'

I'm sure we've all encounted the 'Meh' books. The book you read that you enjoyed but just not enough to use words like Loved or Liked, the books that just didn't fill it's full book potential. Books that just didn't float your boat.

Please do remeber that this is just personal opinion and just my experience with these books.

So these are my 'Meh'  Books.

  • Me Before You by Jo Jo Moyes. I really enjoyed the book but it didn't make me cry or really hung over the plot. I also feel it was a tiny clichéd. 
  • Landline by Rainbow Rowell. I felt quite detached from most of the plot from start to near on finish. I didn't understand nor find the book plausible, though there was some great progressing moments within the book. 
  • Fire Sermon by Francesca Haig. I didn't enjoy the book the entire way through I found it complicated and just couldn't get into it for most of the book. But saying that I really loved the outline of the plot and even a year after reading it I still love to think about it. 
  • Divergent by Veronica Roth. I liked the book but I really fell in love with the second and third book. There was great moments in the first book but it just wasn't sold on me like the other two books were. 
  • The Picture Of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde. The book was so hard for me to fall into and try to delve into. The plot is amazing, creative and hauntingly beautiful but honestly I feel the writing at times let it down. I mean there were just pages of inconsistent rambling that weren't even important nor a developing issue. 
  • Looking For Alaska by John Green. I feel I should od been hit harder by the book, like a full body blow sucker punch to the stomach. But I felt sort of emotionally detached from the book as much as I enjoyed the story.
  • The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. I should of felt more grief and sadness in this book. I saw people talk about the book and love it which made me think that I like it but not enough to love it nor cherish it.
  •  Alice In Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. The book was okay but not much else. So confusing and for me hard to actually get a vivid image of because of the outlandish things going on.
  • How Hard Can Love Be by Holly Bourne. The book was hard to fall into and took a while for me to warm up to. Also for me the main bad person in this book was just too horrible that it emotionally annoyed plus upset me. 
  • Dark Angel Trilogy by Eden Maguire. I think I expected far too much from the trilogy and my expectations just wasn't quite met. I enjoyed reading the trilogy but after a while the plot and the problems that arrive are just repetitive.
  • Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. The love triangle that is started is just too annoying and frustrating for me and especially Katniss with her personality it just clashed too much with me to be enjoyable for me. 
  • Paper Towns by John n Green. I have to admit that I prefered the film. The book charecters judt didn't mix well for me in the book but when it came out on screen it made much more sense.The eding was a bit disappointing especially after such a big build up in problems. 
  • Scorpio Race by Maggie Stiefvater. The book had a lot of potential and most of mmy hope were met by the book but I feel most of it was so easily predicted like there was really no secrets to the book. 
  • My Sister Lives On The Mantelpiece by Annabel Pitcher. I wanted to read the book for at least 3 years and I guess after so long you have such high expectations and hopes of how the book will be. The word 'cos' was used way too much within the book that it made me way to angry whenever I saw the word. 
  • Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell. I feel I should of enjoyed the book way more than I actualy did. The Fanfiction Carry On is amazing and continues on with the fanfiction written in Fangirl. Fangirl was great but it just seemed a little lifeless to me.
