Book Blogger Hop is hosted by Crazy-for-Books and is an awesome way to for book bloggers to interact and find each other. Such a wonderful idea! There's a new question every week that all the participating blogs have to answer.
This week's question comes from Marce who blogs at Tea Time With Marce:
"What very popular and hyped book in the blogosphere did you NOT enjoy and how did you feel about posting your review?"
Ooh this is quite a hard question, but the one that springs to mind is 'Fallen' by Lauren Kate, although it was an ok read, i didn't enjoy it as much as the hype around it led me to believe i would. I struggled through it in places and found it a bit slow, whereas Torment (book 2) i really enjoyed and sped through. It was a disappointment, if it had just been a book i had plucked off the shelf that i hadn't really heard of, i wouldn't have had such high expectations and i might have enjoyed it more, but as it was so hyped i felt let down.
The Hop lasts Friday-Monday every week, so if you don't have time to Hop
today, go back later and join the fun! This is a weekly event! And
stop back throughout the weekend to see all the new blogs that are
added

Fallen did live up to my expectations either. I enjoyed Torment a lot more too! I'm a new follower stopping by from the hop :) Happy Friday!
Hi there, Becky!
Wow, it's surprising how you didn't like Fallen. I totally digged it! But I guess that this is just proof that people have different tastes :) Still, I'm glad that you liked Torment... although I haven't read it yet, I heard that it's awesome!
New follower! Hope you come and visit my blog soon!

I liked Torment more too. I kept waiting for them to get to the point in Fallen. I'm a new follower. My hop is at Coffee Table Press

Hey Becky! Thanks for the add! I'm an old follower of yours.
I totally agree that Fallen didn't live up to the hype. I'm really glad to hear that Torment was better though.
Happy Hop!
Hopping through. I wasn't a big Fallen person either.

Fallen seems to be picking up quite a lot of controversial views.
