What is the worst book you've ever read? Oddly enough, a lot of people respond with books that are on Random House Top 100 List! Let me know......
hmmm, am i going to get slaughtered for saying i loved the twilight series :-)
the worst book i've ever read is The Polished Hoe by Austin Clark. I know it won awards and accolades but I got about 30 pages in and had to stop it was killing me.
This is one many loved but it was the worst for me and I really did try - The Time Travelers Wife. The whole back and fourth, all books with that style will never get read by me. I had to give up.
I'm glad I didn't try the Twilight series, I watched the movie and thought ok it was alright....
I was a bottle deep in chardonnay when I watched the movie THANK GOD or I couldn't have made it through. Talk about cheesy....my velveta meter was maxed!!
I have to honestly say the worst book is the so-called mystery I am reading now. It is from a NYT best selling author and it's not a new book, but it's from one of his series. I am trying to stick with it but there's so much in it that turns me off. If you want to see my feelings about it you can go to the thread I started "What Kills A Book For You Immediately".
I won't name the book or author. I have a policy against that. I am an author myself and so if I have something negative to say about fellow authors, I keep my mouth shut. I try to respect them and I also know that Google is a powerful weapon. I would feel bad if I Googled and found another author talking bad about my books so I give them the same courtesy.
I know many authors don't care and a lot freely tear down other authors' books but that's not me. There are too many people on the net and that can get back to an author.
Heirloom: Evening Tales from the East. I even threw it in the dustbin after forcing myself through the first chapter of the first story. It was like a crapy rendition of A Thousand and One Arabian Nights.
