Sounds negative, but this could be for better or for worse. Perhaps you interpreted the book or the actions of a character far different from everyone else? Or maybe there’s a universally disliked book that you think is great or vice versa?
For me it was Dark Matter by Blake Crouch. The book was so poorly written, the plot was basic and predictable, and it was just so cheesy to me. The thing that really got me however and made me think “Am I reading the same book as everyone else?” was the repeated claim that the premise of this book is so new and original. Absolutely not? I was also shocked at how many of my trusted sources for book recs absolutley raved about this book while I found it to be pretty terrible.

It might not be universally liked, but I struggle to comprehend how its rating is that high with that many reviews.
