The Worst Book You've Ever Read

[Booklover6]

Fury by Rebecca Lim was pretty awful, which was sad because the books before it in the Mercy series were really good. Fury ruined the series for me.

OHMYGOSHYES that was what I was going to say

[Linh]

Honestly I think it's worse than Twilight...

I'm having high hopes from that one...

Lihn I agree! I love the movie so I thought the book should be better! It was so boring, I didn't finish it.

I had the exact same problem!!! The movie was just SO awesome, but the book wasn't NEARLY as good!

[Katrina]

Such a hard decision. I would say 50 Shades of Grey no offense to anyone that liked it. I could barely finish the first book. One of the things was the whole My Inner Goddess. And the whole Oh My business. I swear I could make a drinking game out of it.

I agree. I really looked forward to reading it and I thought the idea of the plot was great, but it didn't really live up to its potential.

[Taigan]

I could never finish the Inkheart books.. Oops!

[Olivia]

The hush hush series... Oh dear god I couldn't get through crescendo because Nora irritated me so so much....
Also Halo by Alexandria adornetto.. It was too much of a obsessive unhealthy compulsive relationship

[Iman]

I really disliked the Mortal Instruments and The Shatter Me series

[Lilac , Moderator]

I didn't like City of Bones either (I didn't bother with the rest of the series). I'm glad I'm not the only one, almost everyone else seems to love those books.

Taigan, I found it hard to get interested in Inkheart too. It was moving too slowly and not much was happening.

Yeah I also thought this was a terrible book!!

Shadowmancer by GP Taylor.

It was poorly written with too many unanswered plot threads but these were forgivable. The offensive, heavy-handed religious overtone of the novel boiled my blood.

Having Christian themes is one thing. Saying that anyone who questions them is possessed by demons and evil is another. The novel read more like an evangelical pamphlet than a fantasy novel and it still brings a bad taste to my mouth just thinking about it.

One word. Twilight. I am sorry, but am I the only one who thought that it was annoying that Edward snickered A LOT? Plus, I don't care if Edward looks young, but he is practically a hundred year old man trying to be seventeen. Two stars Twilight, 2 stars.

[Saving People, Hunting Things~ The Family Business]

It has a lot of grammatical errors and often goes back and forth between the present and past tense making the story difficult to follow.

[Saving People, Hunting Things~ The Family Business]

Also , but that's mostly because of the problematic relationship between the main characters.
I don't understand the obsession with having controlling male characters, and females that become almost dependent on them for their happiness :/

[Bronte]

Extras, by Scott Westerfeld. I hated this book. It just seemed poorly made and I didn't think the plot was at all thought out. There barely was a plot. The main character was boring...everything was boring...

[SARAH]

I agree with your assessment of Extras. I don't think that I hated it, but it was a struggle. I haven't decided which book I like the least but I can already identify a few that I liked less than Extras.

[Lexie]

Crossed and Reached by Ally Condie. I felt the first one had an interesting storyline but the last two books in the trilogy were really slow.

[Kiya]

Stolen By the Sea-
A book about a rich family who is destroyed by one of the worst hurricanes in history. It's nonsensical and bleak because they're not actually rich, more like wanna-be's, and only the daughter, who is like ten, survives.

[BookOwl]

Worst book definitely goes to Matched and a close second, anything written by Becca Fitzpatrick.

[Kiya]

Really? Matched by Allie Condie? That's on my dresser right now. I was planning to read it after I finish The Selection series

[BookOwl]

Yes dear. Matched is better than Zzzquil.

[SARAH]

Kiya I really liked Matched. So do several of my friends. It is very representative of George Orwell's 1984 - father of dystopia. It is a bit bleak but has a far better ending than 1984.

[Anthony]

I really wish I can remember the actual name of the book I read in June and hated so much! It had a red cover. Narrows it down, right? haha.

But for real, it was a dystopian novel, and the author (who is apparently a NY Times BS) treated readers like they were dumb.

I would understand what's going, and he would use his character to explicitly say and blah, blah, blah. It's like describing somebody's teeth chattering, standing in the show, kicking a tree, and then saying "he/she was cold and mad" at the end.

Nothing flowed smoothly. Author definitely saw Dystopia was trending and wrote something overnight. smh

[Kiya]

Haha. Sounds like a waste of time, but every book was written for a reason. Everyone has different interests. That book with the red cover you read could be the best book in the universe to someone else :-)

I liked the first book….But the rest of the series quickly went downhill and I couldn't bring myself to finish it :/

[Kiya]

Ohh wow. It seems pretty interesting, though.

[Madi]

This book… don't even get me started on this book. I deserve a gold star for persevering through this absolute train wreck. main female protagonist was incapable of independent thought…or any thought really. I usually don't write reviews but I do think I wrote a short review on this one in a fit of frustration.

[Kiya]

lol

I would try it! I mean I know it was pretty popular. You might really enjoy it… I just had a hard time connecting to the characters after the first few books.

[Kiya]

I just read the summary. Added to DYING TO READ bookshelf! sounds really good :-D

Ya know, that's very true. There were people who gave it 5 stars, so it's not crap.

[BookOwl]

Oh my God how could I forget about Fifty Shades Trilogy. *Pukes* and Twilight. *Hangs self*

[Tania]

I loved Matched trilogy even if the story is quite simple the author is amazing. her writing is beautiful. I read all three books in one weekend. I didn't like The Giver and couldn't finish Gathering blue of Lois Lowry. I just don't understand why everyone like it. it is so boring and predictable.

[Kiya]

Oooh! I read The Giver last year. Still remember the plot. Good story

I've been meaning to read The Giver or at least watch the movie. Still behind.

[Betty]

I thought Atlas Shrugged was just awful. I couldn't finish it, Gave up about 30 per cent through.

I read it when I was younger and it kinda got me started on the whole dystopia genre. I think it had something worthwhile to say (but to this day I cannot get over the ending). I literally just watched the movie. I thought it was okay and the book (as usual) is better…. But Brenton Thwaites mmmmm xD
