What's your least favourite book or series? Mine would have to be...the dictionary XD Nah, but, seriously, I thought that the Karazen Quartet was the worst I'd read. I found it predictable and boring.

Hm, so far, Frankenstien. Mary Shelly has to be one of the most longwinded writers I've ever read. She doesn't know when to complete a thought. -_-

I've read few books in my life, but I have to say, "Romeo And Juliet" can go burn in Shakespeare hell. "OMGZERZ! ME WIF3 ISZ D34D!!! UHHUHHHH...L3MM3 KIL MYSLF TU. LOL H3R3 I GOO. *Stab*"
STFU. Nobody Cares. Then the asshole Friar guy comes in and leaves Juliet alone, and lets the crazy b*tch stab herself.
That book BLOWS.
kthxbye

The worse book of all time is The Outsiders. I had to read it my freshman year and I about gaged at how bad it was. It was boring, predictable, and so stupid. *sigh* why can't they pick good ones for school?

They do pick good ones. I had to read Hemmingway, Charles D*ckens (apparently the first four letters of his last name get filtered out on these forums), Poe, and Beowulf...frickin' Beowulf, man!

I loved Beowulf :p I liked pretty much all books I had to read for school But, most of them were classic literature, most people hated them because they can't understand classic literature-- I loved it. :-D

Well I admit the beginning of Frankenstein is boring, it's just the letters of Robert Walton introducing the story, which doesn't really make a whole lot of sense until you read the ending. I loved Frankenstein, and I'm currently reading it for my second time. The books still good, even though the author does take a long time to write about things ^^

The other end of the leash.
i dont have a least favorite book. in fact, i dont have a favorite book either. i dont even like to read. but i did make a perfect score (570/570) on the end of the year tests yesteryear, so now i barely have to do any reading things for skool... but i would have to say that the romance novel "Rebecca" bites. really. really. hard. (dont ask how i kno this, it's a long story)

I'm not sure I have a least favorite book. If a book isn't good I usually just put it down. There've been lots of those, so there's too many to single out one or two for a thread.

Rebecca? I can't believe you think it's bad. I thought the book was immensely powerful in evoking sympathy for the main character. It was so poignat that we never knew her name but I guess it was so the reader felt the prsence of Rebecca more and she would be the one to leave the most impact on the reader. It was so sad as well and also really mysterious as it had an element of the supernatural. If you looked a bit closer I think you'd realize some of the subtle things Daphne Du Maurier has put in it like the innuendos that Rebecca was a lesbian or at least bi.

So did I. In fact, I enjoyed the work of each author and story I mentioned in that post. I really do like some of the "classics".

If anyone is in high school you may have read a book called "Our Town." Worst book ever. It may be the most bland book ever written.

The Jungle by Upton Sinclair. *shudders* It's about a Lithuanian family trying to survive in 1920's-1930's Chicago. They work all over the place, like in a meat processing plant (before the Pure Food and Drug Act was passed...), and Sinclair gives the most vivid, horrible descriptions. It's good, in the sense that it makes you very thankful for your own life, but there wasn't anything happy about that book. I had to read it for 20th Century History class, and my entire class hated it.
