Its more of a kids book (10-14ish I think) which I read in middle school for some project and ever since it's always been one of my favorites

That reminds me of the Redwall series, written by Brian Jacques, if you've ever heard of them.

This book gets the praise it deserves so I really can't say much except I love this book with a passion
Most of Stephen King's and John Grisham's books.
I also like to read about the WWII and everything that was connected with it.

I'm kind of iffy on stephen king. I enjoy SOME of his work, but not all of it. Joyland I kind of liked as his newer books.
I love Grisham too - not very many bad grisham books out there.
I haven't read it yet... Shame.
Any examples of Grisham's bad books?
Definitely suggest you do - it's more like his older stuff.
As for bad books, nothing comes in my head - there are a few mediocre ones like the king of torts, but nothing I've read that I've been straight up like "Wow this book is ass."
Something like the Roadworks? The Polish translation of this title is total bullshit btw
And yep, the king of torts was pretty mediocre, it can't be compared with books like "The Runaway Jury" (my favourite), "The Firm" or "The Testament"
I never got around to reading the roadworks. But, it's just good - it definitely feels more in the tone of dreamcatcher and things like that.
One of my favorites of grisham was the client. My absolute favorite though a time to kill - it was just a flawless book. Rainmaker was also damned good. I like how not every book of his has a happy ending.
The Dreamcatcher was weird... Didn't like it. The ending was totally fucked up...
The endings of King's books are usually bullshit, but this one gave me cancer

The ending ruined it honestly - but I meant the more atmospheric than anything else. I do think joyland has been one of the better books he's written, if you like anything he's written I think you'd like this.
My only complaint with Stephen King is I don't like the time jumps all over the place.

He directed Maximum Overdrive, so he technically made a movie. But I am talking about movies he wrote. There are some good ones (The Shining, Misery, Stand by Me) but there are some really shitty movies he wrote. Some of those movies are books of his that you would rather read.
The "A Song of Ice and Fire" series. I love how it shows all the different character points, the backgrounds and how Martin kills characters one would think were safe and too vital to the plot.

I tried so hard to get into game of thrones, I really did. I just don't like books that frantically introduce characters - I didn't like the entire "RONALD, PETER, BILLY, AND THEIR SONS BRUTUS, TERRY, AND KYLE" and then the next page there'd be 15 more names. Too many things to remember for me.
