The worst book you have ever read?

Question

and why was it so bad?

Answer 1

chasing destiny by eric jerome dickey

Answer 2

A Harliquin Romance.  I don't even know the name, but I never read another one.  It was such a waste of time.  Children's books are far better.

Answer 3

The Hobbit! i cant stand it! there is no female lead and its just about stupid goblins and hobbits and wizards... not my style...

Answer 4

Ethan Frome by Edith Wharton. It was so depressing and dull. About a man who hates his wife and cheats on her with her niece or cousin. Then when they try to kill themselves (niece and man), she is mentally damaged and he is just crippled. Then, they all live together and his wife takes care of them all. Thank god it was really short. Only about 50 pages.

Answer 5

'The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman' by Ernest J. Gaines.

For one thing, it's an -auto-biography of a fictional character. Beyond that, it's boring as sin, changes pace frequently (from extremely to slow to less-than-extremely slow, then back again) and just has a bunch of random 'action' sequences that don't really seem to amount to a plot. If it wasn't for having to read it for my honors English class, I would have put it down at page 10.

Answer 6

"The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night Time"

It was VERY annoyingly written, because it was supposed to have been written by an autistic kid who lives in England.

The plot was SO boring, he's trying to find out who killed his neighbor's dog, and it turns out it was his dad because his mom was cheating on him with the neighbor.

There is also alot of unnessecary swearing, like every other sentence.

Answer 7

The Twilight series. I only read it so that I could finally understand what all the hype was about and instead I found myself depressed that SO many people - primarily young girls - are worshiping these stories. Not only were the characters poorly developed and the books themselves just overall badly written - but the story itself takes a disastrous turn for the worse. I'm glad I read them while I was at work because if I had taken up any of my own time reading them, I'd want that time back.

Answer 8

Peggy Of The Cove.

It was supposed to be how Peggy's Cove (In Nova Scotia, Canada) ot it's name but I wasn't even able to finish it. The author really needs to find and editor. Things like: '"How are you" she asked?'

UGH!

Answer 9

"The Unbearable Lightness of Being" by Milan Kundera (I believe I spelled that correctly). The whole book was about a man who fell in love with a woman but had commitment problems and could not stop cheating on her. Ugh!
