Didn't spot that you were asking for opinions!  Views on the ones I read (grading is out of 6 stars).

 

To Kill A Mockingbird ******: superb, an absolutely brilliant book, one of my all-time favourites.  My son, who introduced it to me after he read it (aged 14 at the time!), also loved it .

 

Cloud Atlas *: most people like it, I did not!  Just found it went nowhere very slowly. TBH, I couldn't finish it.  Of David Mitchell's other work I've read, I loved Thousand Autumns (******), and enjoyed Bone Clocks and Slade House (****), so this is a bit out on a limb.

 

The Lord of the Rings ******: I normally dislike fantasy, but LOTR is the huge exception.  Have read it twice, once as a teenager and then again thirty years later, and ripped through it both times. 

 

The Hitch-hiker's Guide to the Galaxy *****: Quirky, off the wall, and whilst I never laughed out loud, I loved the humour (although the radio play was better!).

 

Divergent *: In my opinion, badly written drivel, but for some reason it's sold loads, so what do I know?  I found it cliche ridden, tediously frenetic, and totally predictable. One of my most disliked books in the past few years, but then I'm definitely not the target market!

 

You ask if there are any books you shouldn't read yet.  I can't think of any, just try books out and see what you make of them; you don't have to finish them after all (I used to try and finish everything I started, then realised there was far too much good stuff to read to keep persisting with books I didn't like).  All I would say, is don't dismiss books for ever.  Quite a few books I didn't like in my teens, I've come back to like and indeed love.  And what is one person's love is someone else's hate, so if you read these books and think differently, that's great, and one of the joys of reading (I belong to a couple of book groups, and it's the books where we disagree that provoke the best meetings!).  Just please come back and tell us so!
