There are so many who swear by Paul Coelho's boks - but to me, they are one hell I would rather not get into - I tried to suffer through 11 Minutes and the Devil and Miss prym...but alas! All in vain.

I got about 4/5 of the way through Mommie Dearest before I threw it across the room. I know the poor girl had a hard life and her mother was horrible to her but it just seemed like "my famous mother is dead and now I am going to make a few bucks"
Maybe I was in a bad mood that day.
Or maybe the book was giving you a bad mood.
Sometimes that happens to me and them I totally go off the book and never wnat to see it again. I was like that when I read Harry Potter :: The Chamber Of Secrets (Book 1) I got to page 2 and never read it again.
I'd have to say A Handmaid's Tale. I don't even know who the author is, anymore. It's basically a rip-off of Orwell's 1984, except it revolves around more sexist issues. Horrendous, disturbing, and overall, a very unsatisfying read.
Be warned, people. NEVER READ THIS BOOK!
I didn't really like Watership Down but that's because I don't like Richard Adam's style. I've read a lot of bad books...but I can't think of any at the moment...
Hmmm, Why the cage bird sings and/or Cold sassy tree...Once i finished with them at school...I took them out in my garage...got my home made Squirtgun flame thrower out....and torched it.
Although I love books and literally have my own library...I could not stand those 2 books...
My all-time worst book was Tuck Everlasting. The flesh was decent, but it was a romantic tragedy, and the ending SUCKED!!!!! Urgh... The whole thing could have been WAY better! it just wasn't any good...
It was this romance I borrowed not very long ago. And ugh it was terrible! It was set back in the day (1600's) and this man (bad word) this woman and she fell in love with him and they married happily. So stupid. Put me in a terrible mood. And give romances a bad name.
Anything by Charles Dickens gives me the runs. Yeah, yeah, literary master, yada yada yada... he can't even describe blinking without taking up 4 and a half paragraphs. I know that he was paid by magazines per word, but that's still no excuse to milk Tiny Tim's death for every drop he could. Sheesh!
He could learn a thing or two from Hemingway or Carver.
Sounder, borrrring.

Ok, I am an English major, and therefore a literature nerd, so I have a general appreciation for all books. The only book, however, that I have ever started reading and was unable to finish was Grapes of Wrath. Now, apparently it's a classic and I do know people who love the book, but I was still bored about 100 pages into it, and felt there was still no developing plot. So, if it is worth reading for the end, someone is going to have to let me know because there is no way I'm picking that one up again--Grapes of Wrath gets my vote for worst book ever.
I'm usually very careful about what i read. I dont read a book unless I'm quite sure that I'll like it......There was this one book which i picked just because it was a book by mario puzo and that it was a best seller. It's called ' The Family'
I read the whole book but it was kinda boring and it was very slow....
I borrowed this book called a Legacy of Hate. Forgot the author name, but it was some Irish soap opera story about how a horrible but beautiful woman seduced some guys which led to a legacy of hate and chaos for the next generation. It's full of crap.
