�Gone.
No offense to the author or Gone book lovers I just couldn't stand this book.

Steppenwolf by Hermann Hesse... I had to read it for school and it was just... argh!

The Eragon series... It drags on forever so I gave up after reading the 2nd book

Thank you! I suffered through that book. I found that characters ages and interactions unrelistic and the book never finished! For me it dragged on and on... I really don't see how there are, what, six books in the series? What's the appeal?

Alice in ZombielandI feel like I'm the only one who just hated this book. It would have been decent if it weren't for the awful "romance" that ruined everything. I know a lot of people love this book but it completely baffles me.

Fifty Shades of Grey. I just don't get it. This is the one book in the history of all the books I've read that if you liked it, we just can't be friends. I can even stand Twilight lovers, despite how sickening it is to see it glorify such awful things like stalking, self harm and suicide, abusive tendencies, wanting to murder someone, and a loss of self identity in place of your significant other's identity and makes them seem beautiful and romantic. (as an anon once responded to John on his tumblr regarding the novel). Yet I can stand Twilight because it does seem quite appealing to some--and I understand that. But Fifty Shades takes all of the horrific things I mentioned before, and takes it on a completely new level. Not even that, there isn't some 'fantastical creature' (ie: the vampires in Twilight) excuse to hide behind. It is just plainly abusive, and the fact that it has become so popularized disgusts me.

Born at Midnight The narration was terrible and I couldn't stand the characters.

Hands down Throne of Glass, no offense to any who like it.

No offense to the author and the fans, but I strongly disliked The Dark is Rising by Susan Cooper. It was confusing, had no history or back-up information to support or explain anything, it all seemed random and silly.

I haven't read FSOG, therefore I do not know the end, but I know it is exploiting women's bodies as sexual items easily penetrated: forget passion, it's horrific!

I can't even remember what it was called, but there was some book I found in 5th grade.... It was the 3rd book in a poorly written series. The plot was all over the place, and nothing made sense. There was some hidden passage in the boys room that lead to a giant mountain passage where the invalid mother of Pesty/Petsy lived. The author COULD NOT decide if the little girl was named Petsy or Pesty. It switched every few pages.

I was so miserable and the teacher had a "do not abandon books" policy. You had to finish reading a book no matter what. I suffered through that load of cow dung...

I had to read Heart of Darkness for class and I wanted to light it on fire. it's considered a classic, but the main character talked about different kinds of rivets for eight pages.

My worst nemesis is Wuthering Heights. I had to read it in High School and I absolutely hated it!! I could't even get through half of it! Now, I get that they are supposed to be unlikeable persons and all that, but no.... no! It became personal for me the year after when I had to read it again (that is to say, try to read a bit further) when they assigned it again at my first year of Uni... I really don't like the way it is written. It has, however, thought me how important it is to have likeable characters! To quote Damon Salvator: "If you're going to be bad, be bad with a purpose or else you're not worth forgiving.�

Also, have anybody read the "Hush, Hush" series by Becca Fitzpatrick?? It's just a poorly written, "wanna be" Twilight. I mean the girl is 15. 15! I don't care how grown up you think you are when you are of that age! At least that is my opinion, please tell me there are anyone else who shares it??

THE DARK IS RISING

Twilight...

Sorry to all the crazy love-stricken teenagers who love this book, but I am NOT one of you. I think, frankly, that this book is demeaning to women, the relationship between Edward and Bell is CREEPY and ABUSIVE/WRONG. Slightly pediphillic, come on he is a hundred year old many hitting on a 17 year old girl. Now I don't blame any of you because I one point I felt this book was swoon worthy until I realized that this is messed up! I get it, you know, all of this has a reason, but at its core that main message of the book is just messed up to me.

^I would like to add that it takes a lot of courage for writers to put out there work and obviously Stephanie Meyer has a good strong fan-base and I don't want to "hate on that." This is just my opinion, sorry if I upset anyone, but I asked so I answered.

I really do not like Grapes of Wrath... or really anything by John Steinbeck... I tried, I really did, to like it and understand it, but it did not click with me at all.

Worst thing ever would have to be The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne. It's been many years but I'll never forget how much I loathed reading it.
More recently I hated Gone Girl. In my opinion it's an awful book about awful people doing awful things to each other. I felt little if any sympathy for any of the characters, and I always want to root for someone.
To the Twilight & FSoG haters: I found it very interesting when I read an interview with the author of the latter explained it was written out of fan fiction she wrote of the former. I've read neither myself, but I don't doubt if I had they might have been my choices here.

The Artemis Fowl series. I know many people enjoy them, but as a kid I could never get into them and I just found them really dull.
