Of all the books you have read(no Holy books please) which ones do you think are overrated ?
When I say overrated it means that the book is rated high by most people who have read it but you don't think it deserves the high rating. It could be fictional or non-fictional work . No Holy books of any religion please. Commentary on Holy books is fine.
The Great Gatsby
I read it when I was teenager (not for school), again when I was about 20, and again a year later for my university English class... each time REALLY hoping I'd see the appeal... but nope. I just don't get it. I mean, I get the book, I get why some people like it, but I don't really see why people LOVE it or hail it as a classic. It wasn't terrible and I wasn't like "ugh, I hate this" while reading it, but it just doesn't do anything special for me.
Though I have heard some very nice things about The Great Gatsby I have never read the novel. I am familiar with The Great Gatsby 2013 movie because Amitabh Bachchan plays the role of Wolfsheim. Thank you for the answer.
Memoria de mis putas tristes by Gabriel Garcia Marquez... Bleh!
I checked out the reviewsl. Most of the reviews are excellent, some are not.
Thank you for your answer.

My name is Ian, I am four years old. I can't really write this so a prayer warrior is writing it for me. My daddy is very sick. He has been sick for a long time. I love my daddy and want him to get better. I hope someday when I am a little bigger, my daddy can take me fishing. I think that would be...
