The Warriors series.
Okay, cool, I liked it when I was seven. And it's a cool idea, cats and stuff. And I don't mean to be a book snob, but...
... it's ...
... terrible. Badly written, awful plots, just in general an all-out makes-me-cringe sort of a thing. You can like it if you want. But ugh, I just cannot deal with those books. I don't know what it is, the whole "oh the first seventeen thousand series were successful so I'm going to make eighty more", or the phrases and words you can find twice a page, like "padded over" or "ducked his head" or "flicked his tail" or "the light shined in his eyes" or "mischievous".
I don't hold anything again the people who like them. They can go ahead and do that. But personally, once the cats started seeing ghosts and having magical powers, I gave it up. And when the bears came- and now dogs...
I should be quiet now.
I'd never heard of the book until I started seeing the roleplays about it on CS.
At first, I wanted to read it and find out what it was about, because I couldn't figure out what the roleplays were about.
Before I read them, I actually joined one once I think, but the host yelled at me for coming up with an original and "not in the book" name. Apparently it didn't even sound like a warrior cats name so I just said screw it and never clicked on a warriors cats roleplay again.
But then I started seeing like a thousand roleplays, and the more and more roleplays about it that I see just made me not want to even pick the book up.
I just... It's so blown out of proportion. It's just as bad as the Twilight or Hunger Games roleplays on here. Just seeing all those roleplays about those two books/movies makes me wish I'd never actually read the books, because I want nothing to do with them...
