Worst book you have ever read

[Eloraine]

If had been with me, if I had the physical book it would've been ashes by now

[Kindle Jenner]

The Nova series taught me that you can literally publish anything. It doesn’t even have to be complete thoughts. Someone will publish your bulleted notes.

[Ali]

Catcher in the Rye

Such an unbearable main character. I know it’s a literary classic but it just bothered me so much!

[Daydream]

I have two. If I have to rank those two then no.1 Ugly love, don't go for it and no.2 The broken Vows, I really love catharina's books and ofc the Windsors series is amazing but this one was really not for me

[Eli]

Probably Empty Smiles by Katherine Arden.

[♤Lizzy♤]

Ugh The Final Gambit this book was supposed to be really good but I DNF'd it

[Willow ✨]

The lake by Natasha Preston

[Michelle]

Brooklyn by Colm Tóibín

Good choice

[Katherine ⸆⸉]

the kiss quotient by helen hoang

[Madissen]

Torn between Pestilience or the Witch Collector…both sucked 😂

[Jan]

It was a struggle to finish Milkman

[Shante]

Dark Succession - Katee Roberts....didn't even finish it. it was that boring.

[Maria]

The Vaster Wilds by Lauren Groff

[cam]

Haunting Adeline💀

[Sabrina]

Preist by Sierra Simone - omg I could not even finish it

[Madam Querr]

Don’t know if the worst ever, but Icebreaker definitely comes to my mind. No plot whatsoever and it dragged sooo much

[M.J. Rodriguez]

Wonderland by Jennifer Hillier of Seattle. This book was rather scary and pointless.

[Mike]

Picture of Dorian Gray - Oscar Wild. Neat premise but reading it was like chewing on glass.

[Sam]

Sweet Evil by Wendy Higgins

[Hannah]

Instagram poetry books

[Micaylah]

A few are high up there as worst books I've read. (Note: These books are ones that I have read from start to finish and rated 1 star.)

"Shadow of the Wendigo" by Dale T. Phillips.
"The Lake" by Natasha Preston.
"Mirrorland" by Carole Johnstone.

[Retsel]

That series by Jess’s Hastings, Magnolia Parks I think?

[Bernie4444]

“Dancing Wu Li Masters: An Overview of the New Physics” by Gary Zukav
How to mislead one with semantics.
Gary Zukav states in his introduction "I had never studied physics. In fact, I didn't like science and I had no mathematical aptitude.
On Oprah (TV) he admitted that he does not have a TV which may explain his lack of contemporary physics let alone any depth.

If you like strange mixtures of New Physics then read “How the Hippies Saved Physics: Science, Counterculture, and the Quantum Revival”
by David Kaiser

[Stacey]

Most recently, Gone to See the River Man by Kristopher Triana, to put a fine point on it there just isn’t enough brain bleach for me to clean the trash out of my head from this book.

Brain bleach - a good one

The little prince

[Mike]

I routinely tell people it is the Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde. It is the first really bad book that I remember reading. I was rearranging my bookshelf yesterday and realized that there was one I hated more right in front of me. It was Fractal Noise by Christopher Paolini. I would eat ground glass before I would read anything else by this writer. It is part of a series. The thought of this makes me shudder.

[Jasmina]

Ugly Love

[Light]

Reacently? Definitly Icebreaker.

[Liv]

reaping demons
I read the first one cuz I bought it for a cheap price and idk I liked that the MC was an older woman. I read the second online just because I was so annoyed with how it went and my curiosity was too much. it's such a good concept with so little pay off. I get the want to make a book where the MC is in their 30's but at least make them actually be like adults and not 21 year Olds. the love triangle is so stupid too. like I did not understand it whatsoever. I do not recommend this book AT ALL

[Gee ✨]

It ends with us.

Just not for me. 🥹

[Kaya]

If He Been With Me, I have never wrote paragraphs and paragraphs for a review about a book until I read that one. That’s how much I hated that book!

[ancs ☆ (taylor’s version)]

ugh so many lmao
1. ugly love by colleen hoover (that couple never coupled the way the least couple-y couples couple)
2. priest by sierra simone (0 plot bc the one considered a plot was not it)
3. anything katee robert. its js baseless p0rn in a book
4. the spanish love deception by elena armas (couldn't connect to the mc at all)
5. sinner by sierra simone (idek why i picked this up after priest)
all these books were either skim-read or dnf'd almost 50%-70% through

[Erica]

The Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison. Most confusing book I ever read in my life was a very boring book.

[Catherine]

It's a greek book. "Ένα παιδί μετράει τ'άστρα" meaning "A child counts the stars" It's a very old book, written in 1956 and while I was reading it I was bored out of my mind. Not recommend, 1 out of 5 stars. However I do respect everybody's opinions. If you like the book it's your choice and I won't try to say otherwise. We all have different opinions and taste.

[Hana]

The Weight of Feathers. It has so many plot holes. In fact, I don't think there was even an actual plot. Even the characters weren't that great.

[Alex]

The Shack by WM Paul Young is by far the worst book I've ever read...

[Aleaha]

I don't have any super bad ones, but Hook Line & Sinker was not it for me!

[Wyetha]

The Other, Tyrone Thomas which was adapted to a movie in 1972

[Peacejanz]

I agree - The Shack. It is racist and elitist along with being homophobic. What a waste of good paper, money and time. I saw the question but I forgot about this awful book - The Shack that so many "Christians" loved. How to read without thinking. peace, janz

[Diana]

The War of Worlds by H. G. Wells.
I haven't even finished this book yet. I started some time in spring and it was annoying me so much that I haven't had the energy to pick it back up and finish it.
The author continuedly used the phrase 'to and fro' to the point I now have trauma .

Flowers in the attic......it was disgusting

[Jannelies (living between hope and fear)]

Everything by Stieg Larsson. I read the first book in his famous trilogy and it was absolutely boring.

Also: books by Donna Tartt, especially The Secret History

And of course, over the years I've read books for review written by aspiring authors who often had no idea what they were doing 😒.

[Mike's Bookshelf]

Lord of the Fly Fest; its was just so unbearable. not a single one of the characters was likeable and the plot was so thin it was like a page of the bible

[Doris]

to Diana regarding "War of the Worlds"... I read this in high school because it got great reviews from teachers and friends

I think they lied because you're supposed to like this book. I found it pretty awful.
