What's Your Least Favorite Book You Read in 2016?
Dash & Lilly's Book of Dares by Rachel CohnRebel Belle by Rachel Hawkins
Nil, mostly because it was such a disappointment.
Matched by Ally Condie. The characters fell flat and the plot was escruciatingly boring

I read this series a few years ago my mother and I loved them, what didn't you like about it if you don't mind my asking.
I guess I would have to say
I even tried to listen to a audiobook book to see if I could get pass the beginning and I couldn't. I only tried reading them cause my fiancé want me to watch the movies and I really didn't want to so I was like I will try reading the books first. I still haven't watch the movies either.
I really disliked Meet Julie (just plain stupid and unoriginal in my opinion) and Diary of a Valiant Wolf, Book 1: Steve’s Wolves (This wasn't Mark Mulle's best work.. it was one of his worst).
It probably seems like I only read books that are aimed at kids, but I just read whatever I can get my hands on if it's appropriate.
I read the third book of the Mortal Instruments, and I got bored. I might pick up the series again some day because it is so high rated, but chances are less. And yeah, HP and the Cursed Child was good, but it wasn't as magical as the rest of the books. I kept on getting the feeling that they could've done better.
Also, I did not enjoy the Selection series, and never got around to reading the One. Though I did read the ones with that girl, but it wasn't that cool.
And I couldn't read the third book of the Throne of Glass series, either. I didn't enjoy it, I remember distinctly.
And I tried Emma because my mother loves it, but I couldn't get past the first three pages.
The Apartment by Danielle Steel. I think it was the only book I gave 1 star to last year.
I think it's an abundance of Katherines, I was highly disapointed in John Green !
My Life Next Door by Huntley Fitzpatrick. Made me so mad tbh....
"Feedback" by Robison Wells. It was surprisingly terrible.
Alice in Zombieland and Passenger.
Ugly Love. this book was so so bad
"Love is a Canoe" by Ben Schrank. Kind of boring.
"My dilemma is you" by Cristina Chiperi
Winger. I didnt hate it but it was the worst out of the great books I read last year.
Unfortunately, if I stay. I am so madly in love with the movie, and I was so disappointed by the book. It just lacked emotion.
Go Ask Alice. UGH. What a fucking waste of time.
Six of Crows. I read it because everyone I follow in the book community seemed to love it. The writing was good but....I just didn't understand the hype? Made me realize I need to read books for me and not just because everyone loved them. So far for 2017 I've not read a book I didn't like!
2016 was a good year of books for me ... so I could say that the book that I like the least was Classes of Literature by Cortazar and Two Times June by Martin kohan (actually I hated the last one)...
Everything, Everything. Argh it was awful, really badly researched and it made it so unrealistic
Definitely Harry Potter and the Cursed ChildShiver was boring
Sadly, Cinder. I would have loved to like it more, but the whole cyborg thing is not for me. Also, some German books I had to read for university. They really managed to choose the most boring books last year...
For me it was Nevernight, I DNF that book bc the whole time I wanted to stab my eyes out - why on earth would you put footnotes instead of integrating info it into the story, like??? also the writing was so thick and heavy I couldn't wade through it
The Magicians... There was a lot of hype around it, and I was so exited to read it because I watched the show... The characters irked me so much, it was boring, and it offended me. It bashed my religion quite frequently and I was not okay with it. I get that their are people who are athiest, but you can at least be considerate enough to think that some of your readers may be christian...
The Siren by Kiera Cass. The funny thing is one of my all time favorite reads of 2016 was The Selection, also by Kiera Cass
We were liars. I'm surprised I finished it.
We got it for an asigment at school but it was so boring I thought I was going to die. It gave me a very hard time reading it. Gladly, I wasn't the only one to think so in my class.
Soundless by Richelle Mead and Miss Peregrines home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs
Clockwork Angel (don't hurt me) and Save Haven. They weren't particularly bad books, but they were the worst in my list from 2016.
not counting the five or six i dnf'd, Zeroes and The Swiss Family Robinson were the absolute worstthey were just so!! incredibly!! bad!!!
My biggest disappointments in 2016 were Hot Pterodactyl Boyfriend
;
The Bachelor; Torn
;
Accidental Superstar;To All the Boys I've Loved Before
and Pollyanna and the Greek Billionaire: Innocent and Betrayed, Part 1 books 1,2,3.
7th, city burning.I hoped to enjoy an authors newest work, but it was really, really bad.
"It looked like it might have been a dead dog but the closer look revealed it was not a dead dog."
^Actual quote. There were several hundred pages.

LOL that quote just makes me want to read it just to see how bad it is.
Alice in WonderlandI don't know what people enjoy about that story.
DaVinci's Tiger - super boring and I just didn't care about the characters, Creature of Moonlight - the writing was much too flowery for me, and Starbreak - the characters were a little annoying and the plot wasn't super interesting.
It was a magnificent horror I witnessed. If it was more brief, it'd be in "so bad it's good" territory. How about you?
Any particular books ripe enough to have tomatoes thrown at them?

Thats fair enough, I was disappointed when I read the Fault In Our Stars, not because its was that bad but because everyone was going on about how good it was and I found it underwhelming.
