Now for the ‘not recommended’ books – because a book that one person loves may be hated by another. Just check out a website such as Goodreads.com to see how varied the reviews and ratings are for each book.  Wrappers who have taken on the 27 Challenge have to share a book they didn’t like and here are a couple:

The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky

Drowning Instinct by Ilsa J Bick

Have you read either of them? What’s your opinion?
