Feature & Follow #7: Love/Hate Book

Feature and Follow is hosted by
It's a great way to find new blogs!

Q: What book did you hate that everyone raved about?
Or what book did you love wasn't popular?

A:  I don't like The Hobbit or all the Lord of the Rings.
I can't stand to read those. Please don't hate me.
I hate the movies too.
Very long story....


The features this week are Elemillia from Gone Bookserk from Parajunkee and 
Readiculously Peachy from Alison Can Read.

  2. I don't like those books either. I still can't understand all the hype.

  3. I have no real desire to read the books either, they sound overly long and annoying.

    However, I very much enjoyed the films, and will quite happily burn the haters at the stake.

  4. Awww, I love J.R.R. Tolkien's works! But I understand - the books are somewhat difficult to read. The movies are amazing though!

    Thanks for visiting my blog! Old follower :)

  5. ....I love the movies so much. Nothing better than having a LOTR day and watching all the extended editions in a marathon lol
    I've read The Hobbit, but not LOTR yet.

  7. Thanks for stopping by. I will grudgingly admit that The Lord of the Rings is very long, and very dry in places, but we wouldn't have the epic fantasies we have today if Tolkien hadn't been such a success.

  12. I know they're not to everyone's taste, but I'm one that loved LOTR & the Hobbit. I fell in love with them in 5th Grade when our teacher read the Hobbit to us over a period of several weeks. It didn't hurt that my dad read fantasy books so they were all over the house for me to pick up either :) Thanks for stopping by this week Think! Old follower.

  14. I read The Hobbit for school and barely finished it. I was so close to just reading the summaries off of Spark Notes. Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge fantasy lover, but stories like those just don't interest me. :P

    I actually love Tolkien... he's a world builder though... he writes in depth about the world the characters live in, and I often find a lot of YA readers don't care much for that level of world building. There is only so much a person can take XD

  22. Total nerd and fantasy was my first love, quickly followed by sci-fi/fantasy. Like I said nerd. So LOTR was huge for me. But hey, yay books!
