Another "ONE" question from me!  I ask, because I think I may have just finished one, the new Jodi Picoult, CHANGE OF HEART.  I REALLY disliked this book, and I was surprised at all the love it's gotten on other review sites. 

You?

One?  Dang, come on...how about 2?

Ok: The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime.  (But the best title, for sure).

Where are you, L?

(I do have a Picoult I couldn't finish...and another very popular book...)

Easy - Eat, Pray, Love. I felt like the author was self-promoting and more than a little conceited.

Cold Sassy Tree.  I didn't like the writing style, didn't like the characters, and the plot just dragged.

Twilight by Stephanie Meyer - overrated teenage vampire romance

The Lovely Bones.  Maybe it's me, I just didn't get it.

Angela's Ashes by Frank McCourt. Wake me when it's over.

Wicked.

I think that Linda P's tagline sums it up "No two people ever read the same book."

I didn't really hate it as much as I got bored and didn't finish it which I never do.....

Duma Key. Way too drawn out and long. I didn't finish it. Get to the point already!!

I didn't HATE this book, but I was let down by it. The Da Vinci Code--loved the arcane details but didn't like the whole detective/thriller parts.

I'm Bonnie's twin, and I will add: My Sister's Keeper by Picoult.  Trite, hokey and predictable. Blech!

After reading three Piccoult books that I loved, I couldn't finish Second Glance.

Book? How about Author? He only has out two books and I disliked both of them.

Cesar Milan. I don't like either of his books (Cesar's Way & Be The Pack Leader) but "lay" pet persons seem to love them. There is so much that he does that I as a trainer, do not agree with. I find it disheartening that he uses so many aversive techniques and that the books he wrote are not really about helping/training dogs. To me, both books are more about himself and offer very little good advice. I guess that is why I placed them on my bookshelf (gone now btw) when I usually keep all of my dog related training books.

The Thirteenth Tale

Lisa Jacksons "Fatal Burn." It bored me to tears, and it got so many good reviews, that it just boggles the mind.

Apparently I'm a glutton for punishment, as I just picked up her latest one "Absolute Fear." *shrug*

North River   My book club loved it, I hated it, a sentimental mess, plot was ridiculous, it had me laughing in all the wrong places.

I have to second Angela's Ashes. Very depressing and not very interesting. What a disappointment. I had heard how fabulous it was.

Davinci Code was another disappointment. OK but not great like I expected.

James Patterson's "Women's Murder Club" series.  I'm reading "7th Heaven" right now, just to make sure, but it's true.  They suck.

Anything by Nicholas Sparks, ESPECIALLY 'The Notebook."    Ack.

~Jessi,  Beautiful dogs! 

Pillars of the Earth. Ugh.

I hated the book Crispen! UHHHHH!!!!

I hated Atonement. I felt it was just a waste of time and I never say about books! lol

i'm so surprised to say that i feel the SAME about the new Jodi Picoult book, CHANGE OF HEART.  i've really loved her books in the past but i really found this one hokey and frustrating.  I'm shocked by all the love its getting...it left me feeling like maybe she's putting out too many books too often and is losing her focus a bit. 

Outlander, hands down.  I thought I'd like it too.
