I have typed up and tried to share my most overrated book half a dozen times this morning and nothing is posting!! So annoying! Fine, no explanation, no image: The Book Thief.
I didnt like the writing style. I thought it was boring and it doesnt help that by the time I read it it had been so thoroughly overhyped that it really did need to be THE BEST BOOK EVER WRITTEN for me to like it on ANY level.
Fighting against hype is always a disadvantage. I considered putting Behind the Scenes At the Museum (Kate Atkinson) as my overrated book because everyone was saying it was the greatest thing they’d ever read and it was…fine? I guess?

Maybe the DB overlords or website managers have an undying affection for the Book Thief and are thwarting you at a fundamental level.

I tell you, I mentioned that very possibility in one of my many rants/attempts to post!

I don’t think i got past the first few chapters of that one and it should have been squarely in my wheelhouse.

Have you read City of Thieves by David Benioff? I love that book so much more than stupid overrated Book Thief

I’ve never tried the Book Thief but it seems good on paper (haha), what did you dislike about it?
