Re: Very few. Rebekah Send a noteboard - 24/10/2010 03:17:52 PM
Eragon. And I'm mad that I hate it because when my son was in first grade he knew I was intrigued by it so he bought it for me at the school book fair. So cute and kind! Then I read it and hated it with a fiery passion probably made all the worse because I couldn't tell Cam I hated it.

Aww, that was so cute of him!

I agree with Catcher in the Rye. Hated it. I'm thinking now that I'm older I should try it again and verify that I do indeed hate it, not that I just didn't get it. Pretty sure I just hate it though.

I tried reading it as an adult and still only got about 10 pages in before tossing it away from me.

Lord of the Flies. Had to read it in English and had no idea why my teacher wanted us to read it. I thought it was awful.

I like it. But it's also horrible.
