      Snape's backstory wasn't even tragic. He literally just didn't get the girl he was creepily lusting for. Unless there's something else I'm forgetting, which I probably am. I haven't read those books in a long time lol

      Same. I read an excerpt from the first book and didn't like it, one year later our teacher read the whole book to us but I didn't manage to pay attention. One year after that I watched the first movie when it came to the cinemas. I loved it, and started reading the books on my own and loved them even more.

    • @chelseas1346
      @chelseas1346 9 років тому +1

    • @sophieluvsbooks2629
      @sophieluvsbooks2629 9 років тому

      +Chelsea S Me too! I'm worried too! But for me Will completely won me over in the second book. I do love Jem, but Will honestly is really the one who broke my heart. And I've read the series twice. I think in the second book there's a better chance Jesse will like him because of you know spoilers but I'm still worried that he won't like him. To each their own but I REALLY HOPE HE LIKES HIM BY THE SECOND BOOK.

    At first I wasnt really expecting to like the Infernal Devices as I read the Mortal Instruments ( till book 4) and i just couldnt get into it. But then i decided to pick up Clockwork Angel and i was pleasantly surprised by the whole plot. I think The Infernal Devices trilogy was the series that made me feel like finishing the Mortal Instruments haha.

    Jessie, I love your videos! You are one of my favorite Book Tubers, just a few I love are PolandbannanasBooks, Katytastic, and abookutopia. and what I love is that even in a video about books you don't like you still remain respectful. You do not swear or judge you simply share your well thought out opinion and it's very refreshing. To answer your question there isn't a book I thought I'd hate and then love but I do have a habit of getting a book with a really ugly cover and have the story be soo good.

  • @EllaIngram
    @EllaIngram 8 років тому +33

    1) Popular book series I didn't like: Twilight. Not enough action, boring plot, didn't like the main character. 2) Book that I love but everyone else hates: Can't think of one...maybe Me Before You? idk I've just come across a lot of criticism for it, and also for the movie. 3) An OTP that I'm not a fan of: wait does this have to be a canon ship or can it be non-canon? If it was canon, tbh I'm not a fan of Bella/Edward from Twilight. If it's non-canon, I'm not a fan of Harry/Hermione from Harry Potter. ROMIONE FTW!!! 4) A popular book genre I hardly reach for: either horror or romance XD I can do romance, as long as there's some action or something else happening. If it's just 300 pages of "ooh, I love him," "ooh, he doesn't love me back," "ooh, we're meant to be," "ooh, he's so handsome," then nah, sorry. 5) A popular/beloved book character I didn't like: (was going to comment Bella again but then decided I couldn't answer three questions with Twilight) Umm, Gale Hawthorne from The Hunger Games? *ducks as stuff gets thrown at me* I love The Hunger Games! It's one of my favourite series! I just didn't like Gale, he seemed so angry and jealous all the time. 6) A popular author I can't get into: JRR Tolkein. I'm aware that his novels are classics and are amazing and really popular blah blah blah, but I just can't get past the first book! There's so much description, and he seems to be one of those authors that uses ten words when they could use two, you know? 7) A popular book trope I'm tired of seeing: FUCKING LOVE TRIANGLES they are so overused and overrated and unnecessary! Like, The Hunger Games could've just been a story about a girl fighting against a tyrannical government who unjustly forces children to kill each other every year and makes people watch, and that is what it's about, but Suzanne Collins just HAD to add a love triangle :/ it just didn't need to be there tbh. 8) A popular series I have no interest in reading: I do try to read a lot of books, and I don't tend to say no to reading a series. I would say LOTR here, but the thing is that I am actually interested in reading it, I just can't get through it. Maybe the Cormoran Strike novels by Robert Galbraith aka JK Rowling, because I just feel like the Harry Potter novels were her best novels, and I don't think her adult novels are as good. Don't kill me, I'm still young! *ducks again* 9) Book-to-movie adaptation I liked better than the book: The Princess Bride by William Golding. I think the movie might actually have come out first, before the book, but still I liked the movie better. 10) A popular book I wasn't expecting to like: City of Bones by Cassandra Clare! Mainly because someone described it to me and it sounded a bit like Twilight to me, but then I read it and I loved it and I've now read the entire series and all the prequels and all the sequels and all the spinoffs and holy crap they are amazing and you should go read them now.

      Ru Forman As stated above...Cassandra Clare's writing improves....especially in the Infernal Devices and The Dark Artifices which in my opinion is are billions of times better than The Mortal Instruments. And when I say better I mean like, amazingly better....It's okay if one doesn't read The Mortal Instruments but atleast you could read The Infernal Devices...

    *clear throat and brings out speech* Well young males of the male species and young Jesse, I have come to enlighten you. Believe it or not. Girls. Hate. The. Douches. Bup, bup, bup. Shhh. I would know. I don’t want to go into my back story but basically this douche of a guy who cheated on my bestie four times went after me and *SKIP*. But we like the mysterious and the rouge-ness and the danger and the dark cloud. WE FREAKING LOVE IT
    Example: Sebastian form TMI; Drake Merwin from Gone (only on Lies no spoilers); Cam from Fallen (on on Rapture No spoilers)
    I just love that bad guy-ness and I cant ever like see how evil eh is I’m just like: _Come to me. Love me. Need me. Yearn for me_
    It’s an obsession I need to fix.

    So I think you should add that badly built up bad guys with tragic backstories are annoying but if a character is really well built up, it's just amazing

    I'm going to have to say the divergent series by Veronica Roth. Not because I didn't think I would like it, but because I must have been living under a rock when they came out because I had no idea they existed until one of my girls in my book club made it her book pick (this wasn't recently, this was before the movies... don't worry, I'm not under that big of a rock!) and holy Batman, Robin, I was hooked. After reading that first book, my book club and I changed all the next books for our meetings so we could finish off the series. Great video! You're actually the first guy booktuber I've subscribed to. Can't wait to watch more of your videos. Don't be surprised if I comment on videos you've had posted for years because I'm going to watch them all! 💙💙
