Famous books I DNF'ed

We all have those famous books which everyone encourages or forces us to read and after completing like 5 chapters of that book you go, "I'll read it later" and then 5 years later that book is still untouched, and you have forgotten about it. This is my Did Not Finish pile of books. I am not saying these books are wrong, I am just saying I cannot finish them. Most of the books on my list will be of Drama. I can stand drama to a specific limit in a book, but if the book has way too much drama, then it's probably gonna end up in my DNF list. After, Anna Todd This book was one of the worst books I've read. So I first watched the movie because I did not know this was a book. Once I realised that the film was based on a book, I decided to give it a try. The first book was fine, but as soon as I reached the end of the second book, I was literally confused out of my mind. This is actually the book which made me hate drama. I could tolerate drama, but after reading this b...

5 Book to Movie adaptations that were just not it

Image
Who doesn't love to binge-watch Harry Potter movies? These movies are so fun to watch. The movie adaptations of books like Shawshank Redemption and The Godfather were such big hits and one of the best movies. But unfortunately, not all book to movie adaptations are great. Have you ever seen Percy Jackson movies? If yes, then you know what I am talking about.  Here's a list of 10 books to movie adaptations that are just not 'it.' Giver, Lois Lowery You would expect a great movie when it comes to actors like Meryll Streep and Katie Holmes starring in this movie along with a Taylor Swift cameo. But this movie was quite different than books and definitely not better than books. The movie all together wasn't bad, but it wasn't the same level as the books. The movies weren't able to capture the books' emotional depth, which led to a big 'Nah' from me. The DaVinci Code, Dan Brown  The DaVinci Code was a great book, so I thought, let's give the mov...

Crush (Crave 2) Review (Soilers!!!)

Image
  I just finished reading this book, and by the angel, it's one of the books I can not describe in a single word. I don't know how to feel about this book; there are some aspects of this book that I don't like, some elements that I love and some that I absolutely hate. Most reviews that I read about this book says it's better than Crave, and to be completely honest, that's not the scenario for me. Plus, the cliffhanger she ended the book with will definitely mess up my head while I'm giving my mid-terms. In the last book, Crave, we see that Hudson is the villain. But even a villain has a story. And we get to know some part of it. But let's start at the beginning.  So the last book left us at the cliffhanger where Hudson is attacking Jason when Grace comes in between them and then turns to stone. Now in Crush, Grace is back, but the problem she doesn't remember anything that happened in the last 4 months that she's been a stone statue. And Hudson is n...
