message 51: by Jolie (new)

Jolie Bonnette (aazari) | 10 comments Sadly, the worst book I ever read was by one of my favorite authors. Insomnia by Stephen King , unfortunately was a really good cure for it. It was so boring that I was never able to get more than 5 chapters in without falling asleep. It's the only book I ever started reading that I just couldn't finish despite trying 3 times. That's why I give it the dubious designation of worst.

Don't you hate when you just can't get into a book by an author you normally really like? It's such a let-down!

Chris (mbsnowman) The Strain (The Strain Trilogy, #1) by Guillermo del Toro

I really didn't like The Strain. I'm a huge fan of Del Toro's movies, so to have this first work of fiction be such a let down was double-disappointing. Wooden characters and a cliche plot enlivened only by a slightly novel vampire.

Also, in the same token (i.e. keep to directing! movies!) Fountain Society a novel by Wes Craven

Just awful dialogue and characterization, and a plot twist you can see coming a mile away.

I think you might have insulted the fae lol. The fairies I have read would kick Ewdard's butt. :D I like my vamps bloodthrist and no sparkling. I mean really, vamps that sparkle? What was she thinking?
