Q: What hyped up book do you think was not worth all the talk?
The Halo series by Alexandra Adornetto! It's just . . . not good, I think. The covers are lovely, but I just can't get into the first book let alone any more of the series.((note on comments: I accidentally reposted a copy of last week's ff at first, that's where the Artemis Fowl comments are coming from))
Haven't read the Artemis Fowl series but I'm sorry you didn't like the book as much as some of the others in the series. I guess that's inevitable especially if it's already up to book 8.

LOL, thanks for alerting me that I didn't post what I thought I posted. I did finish book 8, and it was back to being excellent.
DeleteI have only ever read one Artemis Fowl book. Can't say it was a series I could get into.

LOL, thanks for alerting me that I didn't post what I thought I posted. The Artemis Fowl books are definitely an acquired taste, like much middle grade!
DeleteI love the cover of Halo! It's beautiful, but with a lot of mixed reviews for it I decided not to give it a try! & I'm glad I didn't. ;)
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!

It really wasn't worth it, I was so sad!

ReplyDeleteI had no answer to this week's question, because I read what I am interested in regardless of "hype".
Nice meeting you today...have a safe weekend!

Thanks for visiting, Followed you back!
DeleteI haven't read the Halo series, yet, but I do plan on giving the first book a try. I don't have super high expectations, though.
ReplyDeleteBut you are right, the covers are soooo pretty!
They really are gorgeous, I have to tip my hat to the artist!
DeleteI hadn't heard of this series, and I'll be honest, I haven't read a single (seriously, not one) angel book. What angel books would you recommend? I've been a bit wary of the whole genre, but I'd like to try out a book or two.

Angelfall by Susan Ee was quite good, even if I did have problems with the premise. Unearthly by Cynthia Hand was very good, too.
DeleteThanks for the suggestions! I'll have to see if I can pick these up from the library.
DeleteYou know, I've heard other people who didn't think this book was worth the hype either.
ReplyDeleteI would love to see a link to your review, though... if you did one, or know more of why it wasn't for you... as a potential reader, details are helpful!

It's really not worth it.
