What the Hype (53 books)

There are tons of books these days that have a lot of hype surrounding them. A lot of them just don't live up to that hype. Here's a list for those books.

Edit: Some people seem to have misuderstood the meaning of this list. So, I'd like to reiterate: THIS LIST IS NOT FOR GOOD BOOKS. This is for BAD books with a lot of hype surrounding them.
