What is a highly recommended book you read and hated?

I’ll start…

For months everyone kept recommending The Never King in all of my reading groups. I finally caved and read it. It was terrible, but that’s my unpopular opinion!

@ChipmunkErnie I can’t even bring myself to try that one. I few like I should, just to understand references and whatnot, but 💁🏻‍♀️

@ChipmunkErnie I thought it was very good.. But I read it a long time ago. (When the year 1984 was still in the future!)

@DrWatson I read it, along with BRAVE NEW WORLD, around the same time SOOOO long ago, but as someone who read science fiction regularly from the time I was 12 or so both seemed like pale imitations of real sci-fi to me.

@ChipmunkErnie I agree that is not really Sci Fi. I didn't try to read it that way.

@DrWatson oh wow. That’s an interesting take. I was still just a hope in my parents’ hearts ! Lol

@whisperingwillow Is there a connection with the novel 1984 that I am missing, or is your comment intended for another of your posts that I have commented on? :)

@DrWatson I was only commenting on the fact that you read it before the year, or myself, came to he

@whisperingwillow OHHHHHHH!

My confusion! It doesn't help that I misread your reply as " a hope in my partner's heart"....whatever that is supposed to mean! 😂
