This is a list of the 100 lowest-rated works of prose fiction of at least 100 pages and 100 ratings on Goodreads.

The current highest average rating is 2.87. Please do not add books with a higher rating than this.

Are they bad books? Most of them, probably, but some might simply have rubbed GR users the wrong way.

Feel free to vote for your favorite worst-rated books. It's impossible to keep such a list in a specific order once multiple people vote, so no such attempt will be made. To see the true order starting with the absolute lowest rated, check the list creator's votes: https://www.goodreads.com/list/user_v... (I'll try to keep it updated at least every few months).

CRITERIA:
-Novel or novella: fiction of at least 100 pages in any format. No short stories collections or anthologies, poetry, graphic works, or non-fiction.
-# of GR ratings: minimum 100.
-Language: any.
-Sequels allowed? Yes. If multiple series entries otherwise qualify, they can all appear on the list.
-Does it have to have been released? Nah, if the pre-release buzz is so negative that it gets review bombed even before publication, it still belongs here. After all, this is a list of what Goodreads users hate the most, and not technically a list of the actual worst books, although there is definitely some crossover.
