Have you ever found a book that you thought would be rubbish, but then when you started reading couldn't put it down because it was so good?

I sorta got that with a book I'm reading now. I was in a book store and saw the author name "Meyer." Right away, I rolled my eyes and thought, "God, what literature excretion has she written now?" I picked it up, and saw that it was Marissa Meyer, not a certain author who unleashed Twilight on us.

The book is called Cinder. At first, I thought Cinderella as a cyborg was a bit of a stretch, something gimmicky and awful. I started reading, and I've gone through like half the book already. A cyborg Cinderella actually makes sense, and feels so natural. It isn't just a rehashing either. The elements of Cinderella are there, but it feels like something new and fresh.
