books worst book ever read

[Twilight The Creator 298]

That is, of course, your opinion.  Mine is that the first book was too boring to finish, and therefore unworthy of completion.

Understandable, but if you ever get the chance the 4th books to the 7th are way better than 1-3

I read Twilight on a dare. I found it pretty damn hilarious at how bad it was.

 

 

 

Also: Why are people hating on the Great Gatsby? I thought it was a great book.

The shiver book. It's a trilogy but I never read the rest of the series. It didn't fit my standards for books and it wasn't good and too inappropriate for me.

...so you're recommending that I read three large bad books, just to get to one "good" book?  That's quite illogical, so I'll pass.  Thank you, though.

It was, and far better than either of the movie versions.

"Atlas Shrugged" by Ayn Rand.

 

Her philosophies suck, her storytelling sucks, and I could hardly make it past the first 25 pages without grinding my teeth down to the gums - it was infuriatingly awful.

The Metamorphosis. The only good thing about it is that it was short.

I stick to juvenile, and I've only read a few young adult books at this point. There have been a few YA ones I've loved, and I love most juvenile books, but there was this one called Storybound, by Marissa Burt, that I didn't read much of. The concept was interesting, but the writing felt so...on the surface, so aloof from the story the author was trying to tell that I literally could not get immersed in it! I don't know if anyone can identify with this, or if it's just me, but I always sink into any book I read, no matter what subject it is. Storybound was the one that I couldn't sink into. The first chapter and half of the second were good, but after that I just lost the feel of the story. She kind of told it in sentences that were really just too plain for me.

Hmmm,probably Fifty Shades of Gray.I would rather swallow shards of broken glass than read that pile of shit again.

I've heard of that one; thanks for the warning.

Twilight. It is genuinely dire and a bane upon culture. I did actually pick up the first book, sat down and read it. Whenever the masses criticise something, I take it upon myself to go against the complaints because people tend to hate some goddamn entertaining things (WE WANT EVERYTHING VANILLA DAMMIT) but Twilight was just......poor, poor writing. Poor. I think if you're the stereotypical teenage girl who worries about boys (and shit like that) and you're desperately suffering from an identity crisis and can suspend your disbelief to such a degree where your brain melts out of your ears, it MIGHT be entertaining. But the writing is poor, character development is practically non-existent and there were so many cliches that I would have killed myself if I had a drinking game based around finding them and taking a shot.

 

I WILL go on record and say that Meyer is a goddamn genius for tapping into that market and making money from it, though. Hate her or despise her, she did well in cashing on it.

 

Honourable Mentions:

 

- The Hunger Games - Admittedly, the only book of the trilogy I bothered to read. It was just so cliche ridden and so.........meh. It's a brilliant premise, but it just didn't hook me at all and I couldn't bring myself to care about the characters. Even after the film came it and I watched it, returning to the book (Yeah, I read it first), I STILL didn't care. I love the idea. I hate the execution.

 

- Jane Eyre - Charlotte Bronte is considered one of the greats of literature. I consider her writing to be so generally tedious that you're in genuine danger of falling into a coma just by opening one of her books. Jane Eyre is the epitomy of that. It's tedious, dragging and she tries to cram so many messages into her writing that the entire thing isn't so much complex as completely and utterly muddled.

 

- Silas Marner - It's a book that seems to jolt and jerk between torturing it's eponymous character and throwing in a plotline for the sake of it. HERE'S SILAS WAIT A GODDAMN MINUTE HE'S A THIEF WAIT A MINUTE HE'S BEEN WRONGLY ACCUSED OH GOD HIS FIANCE HAS LEFT HIM NOW HE'S ALL LONELY NOW HE'S BEEN STOLEN FROM THERE'S A MASSIVE CONSPIRACY NOW A CHILD IS AT HIS DOOR HE TAKES CARE OF HER etc; etc; And the ending sucked, too. One of those endings where its happy but it's swamped in confusion, as if it's rushed out quickly. It's a lot more tolerable than anything Bronte written, but for a classic, it's plodding and jerky.
