Popular Books I Didn't Like Part 5 (Last part for now!)

This will be the last of this series I will do in a while! Until I find more books I read in their entirety that I give one or two stars.

The first four parts are here: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4

1. Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe. Goodreads summary here. It was cool learning about Nigerian culture, but I hated the main character. The story overall was too sad. 2 stars.

2. Magic for Marigold by LM Montgomery. Goodreads summary here. Okay. For real. This book does not feel like LM Montgomery wrote it. The tone overall was mean-spirited and there were a lot of unlikable characters. Very few characters were likable, and there were some sweet moments but they don't last for very long. 2 stars.

3. Raisin in the Sun by Lorraine Hansbury. Goodreads summary here. In general, I found the story to be boring. The only scenes I remember were when one of the characters didn't want to eat eggs for breakfast, another character was singing and dancing kind of funny, and when one of the characters was gifted a hat. 2 stars. 

4. To All the Boys I Loved Before by Jenny Han. Goodreads summary here. Worst love triangle story ever! I do like the main character's two sisters though. 2 stars. 

5. The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett. Goodreads summary here. Didn't like the second half of the book. It had the same problem as Everything Everything by Nicola Yoon. 2 stars.

6. Palace of Mirrors by Margaret Peterson Haddix. Goodreads summary here. Good first half, terrible second half. It doesn't even feel like Ms. Haddix even wrote it. Can we pretend this stand-alone sequel to Just Ella never happened? 2 stars.
