Series I've Given Up On...
You just couldn't finish it for whatever reason, and you don't plan to finish it any time soon. Only the first book in each series.

It was cringe worthy.
House of Night has gotten pretty bad of late. The first, say, three were decent, but it ran out of steam pretty quickly. The last one was terrible.

And Evermore...well, it just doesn't seem like Ever's going to get any smarter.

House of Night- The first one made me mildly cringe, and I tried to read the second but I completely questioned the main character so I quit a few chapters
Uglies- This one didn't have strong enough writing and the direction of where the character was going made me quit
Wicked Lovely- The first was alright, but the second lost focus of the main character, and her story.
Mortal Instruments- I can understand why people voted for this even thought I like this series. If the reader persisted enough to read the third one they would appreciate more. Also Simon was becoming annoying.

1. Harry Potter
Some were ok.
1. Uglies
Lots started great but failed/I lost interest as they went on.
1. The Vampire Academy
2. Hunger Games (1st was AMAZING)
3. House of Night (Kind of, I liked them as a really light reading after I finished uninteresting school books. But they got so bad.)
4. Gemma Doyle (LOVED the first one)
And others were horrible.
1. Evermore
2. Trublood
3. Twilight

Wow Im surprised you didnt like vampire academy. Its a really good book it gives you a pretty damn good idea of the scenario,i think the dialog is great, I mean its a perfect series to read.

agreed ...Stopped reading it in the middle of the third book... never picked it up again & will not be buying anymore!

Found by Margagret Peterson Haddix was very good and intriguing, but Sent was awful! 15th century England wasn't the most entertaining setting for a novel.
I didn't see the City of Ember on this list, which surprised me. I read it and the next book, The People of Sparks, hoping things would get better...they didn't.

You people are just mentally challenged illiterate freaks who don`t know what the term 'Good Literature' means. :/
Almost every single one of these books are ..."
i agree with almost all of this but i liked the Vampire Academy.

Totally. I didn't even make it that far, I'll admit. I got to Chosen and was like, "Wait...why am I reading this ____?"

Harry Potter? Really? No. I mean it. Really? Why do people hate Harry Potter?
The Mortal Instruments are an obsession for me. I LOVE THOSE BOOKS. Enough to possibly want a rune tattoo.
Shiver, and its whole trilogy, is fantastic and original! Maggie Stiefvater's style is unique and lovely.
I like the Wicked Lovely books. Sure, I have to battle through the pages sometimes, but they are worth it.
I gave up looking through this because I disagree with many. Though I do agree on quite a few (-cough, Twilight and Fallen, cough-)

it would be interesting to note how far people got with each series. for example, I gave up Fallen after the first book, but for some reason, I went through at least five House Of Night books before I came to my senses and realized that it wasn't getting any better.

lol I made it to about the fourth book, maybe, and thought the same exact thing. "why am I reading this?"

You sir/ma'am has bad taste. I can see Twilight or Evemore and the others I didn't like, but seriously, Harry Potter! Hunger Games! Mortal Instruments, really?!
