Any books or authors you hate? Why? Is it the writing? The stories? The author’s personality? And—would you read their work anyway?
I don't know that I "hate" any authors. I do know that there are authors and books that I don't read and don't like.
I didn't love and adore the Twilight series and I don't care for Stephenie Meyer's writing. She needs a really good editor.
I don't like books by Nicholas Sparks or Jodi Picoult. They're predictable and overrated and I don't even give them a glance now.

Good call on the formula writers. I remember being enthralled by my first couple of Picoult books, but now... I haven't read her in quite a while.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you completely. Sticking with the same formula is very predictable and just not enjoyable for me. Along with those you mentioned, I can think of quite a few bestsellers who do that.
ReplyDeleteWhen authors bring out the same work with a different title it can be extremely annoying. I enjoyed a few from Picoult and Sparks but don't feel the need to read everything they write because it is all so similar!
ReplyDeleteTotally agree about Nicholas Sparks. I also recently saw a tweet about him joking that he wrote one boo and played mad libs with the rest.
