    Adult books must belong to a given literary genre and follow the rules of this genre. Children books writers have more freedom

    Well I guess… I don’t know. I don’t really have a strong opinion either way but I do think they’re cute together

    1. The Catcher in the Rye is a great book. Yes, he's bratty and entitled but that's part of the story. It's about the death of his brother and his mental health.

    Game of Thrones was a tedious read. I liked the story concept.

    Rikki Tikki Tavi! Sure he’s supposed to be the hero and all, but he’s an idiot.

    Hmmm, Rikki Tikki Tavi is part of the Jungle Books by RUDYARD KIPLING not Walt Disney. I've read them probably 20 times. If you never have read them, ALL of them, you have no idea how deep they are. The best Coming of Age books I've ever read. They are thrilling, sad, poignant, beautiful.

    I’ve never read the Harry Potter books…
    I’m sorry everyone I love the movies and I’m the kind of person that if they change the movie from the book I get bothered. I just don’t want to ruin the movie

    I feel that exact same way, but in the opposite form. I love the books, but I don't watch the movies, because I don't want to overwrite the magical imagery that developed in my own imagination as a kid....

    Not sure if unpopular, but I think political correctness, cultural osmosis and overexposure have ruined many classical works of literature. Ninety-Eighty Four, The Picture of Dorian Gray, Frankenstein, Dracula, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde or Don Quixote can be dull and filled with clichés for modern audiences, even though they pre-date those clichés and in fact many started them. And the fact most are mandatory readings in high school make young people hate them.

    I remember a book we had to read in high school that made me chill... It was called "House of stairs" and the plot was really disturbing... Idk who thinks those are good books for teenagers to read.

    Gone with the wind gives a benign view of slavery. Please spare me the love story chestnut, or the fact that slavery did happen. Yeah we all know it did. If you’re comfortable with a book that essentially regards slavery as a good thing, you ain’t nothin’ but a hound dog and you ain’t no friend of mine.

    SPOILER FOR TRIALS OF APOLLO!!! Jason Grace was boring. He was literally a stereotypical white cis/straight dude, and I wasn't upset when he died, mainly sad for the other characters. He was fine, until he was just like, "hey bro I get it" when Cupid outed Nico. Like no you don't get it!!!! He never had many hardships in his life other than being a demigod, he had a loving sister and then lived in the legion. So, he's my least favorite demigod (Octavian doesn't count, as a legacy).

    They need to stop making movies not based off anything and just made up. They need to start making more movies based off books! Such as "The Land of Stories" and the "Cinder" series!

    I didn't enjoy the sequels of Percy Jackson (the original was good though).

    People complaining about YA fiction being stupid are just being upset about kids consuming daydream/power fantasy and rarely present a well-thought-out analysis of the genre. Conversely, YA fiction is inherently flawed as an age-bracket is assigned to what primarily amounts to a single genre, and one with a remarkably formulaic set of plot tropes and overarching themes at that. Basically most of the conversation around YA fiction is stupid. I could write so much more on this topic, but I won't bore you.

    Unpopular, I know, but I don’t like anything by Shakespeare. I don’t like the olde worlde language it’s written in . Sorry. 😂 (However, I love West Side Story that I understand is based on Romeo & Juliet)

    There are some nice movies made from his books though. Although I am on same page here and can't read that old language the movies were really nice.

    Most of the Cell saga would've ended if Vegeta would just swallow his pride for once.
