What's The Worst Book You've Ever Read and Did You Finish It Anyhow?

I once took a cross country flight which was about 4 hours. I grabbed a book at the airport which I took would help pass the time. I couldn't remember what the title was, and who was the author, but it was about an american football quarterback who was down on his luck. He was playing in Italy after failing miserably in the NFL and the CFL. Anyway, the plot of the book really sucked, but I didn't have any choice so I decided to read it until at least we touched down. But when I got to the middle of the book and found that a few pages were missing, I finally threw it.

I might draw flack here (sorry!) but Twilight is the worst book I've ever encountered. This is not to say that I'm trying to devalue the book's success -- Meyer must have raked in millions by now -- but its writing style doesn't really rest well with me. You see it's hard for me to read anything that's related to romance and since this book oozes with it, it definitely would be a challenge for me to read. I did finish it though, since I really want to know what's the fuss, but I never ever touched anything about the series again.

I can'r remember the name of the book or the author, but the absolutely worse book ever, I barely got to the second page before I quit. It is one thing to have bad grammar or punctuation, but this book also had misused words..Misused as in he wrote, "there" when he should have written "their" and other bad writing. I only got it out of the library because it was someone we knew, but only as an acquaintance, not anyone close and I never told him I even got his book out to read.

I am so curious I certain did finish the book. It was one of the true crime books that I read about a man that had this huge house. He had his wife and family on the top level and his daughter and his insectual family on the basement level. They finally caught him and the insectual family had alot of medical problems. They couldn't see, they had spine problems because the basement wasn't very big and they all had to stoop to walk. They all had emotional and psychological problems because of being shut away for so many years. It was a very sad story.

It was the Diary of Ann Frank. I know she suffered terribly, but I got to chapter two and forgot everything in one. I did that eight times, eventually making it to three, and gave up. I went to my teacher during class, put it on her desk, and said "ZERO." I told her what had happened and sat quietly in the class while everyone struggled with it. It was mandatory reading. But that book wasn't just dry... It was dehydrated.

I have to say 'Atlas Shrugged' by Ayn Rand. My college roommate told me it is very good, blah blah blah...so I started reading it.She said her sister, all her friends and her sister's friends liked it. I thought I was stupid not to find anything likeable. I remember, as I read, I tried to see what makes it interesting and thinking 'It's just not my taste'.

the worst book i ever read was called criminal justice (i'm pretty sure) and I don't remember who the author was, but i think he was pretty well known. It was poorly written because it just didn't flow, very hokey, unrealistic dialogue. the story line was ok, but very predictable. i finished it because i have this thing about finishing books i start. i have only not finished a book i started one time, and it bothered me.

i lot actually that i can no longer remember them. i don't read books because it was recommended by many. i read books because i know the author and his style. im not gonna name names though cause thats just sad hehehe.. but some people who loves to read fiction sometimes tell me to read heavy romantic stuff and im really not into it. but sometimes i try and it disappoints me cause for me its shallow when it comes to the entirety of the love story. anyway, maybe because im into spy novels.

I when I think about the worst book that I have read there are two books that I especially remember. One of the them was a Norwegian book, I don't remember the name of the author or the title of the book, but the author used no punctuation whatsoever and there were no chapters or paragraphs either. It was really hard to read the book, and sometimes I just couldn't figure out where one sentence ended and the next one started. I fineshed the book, because I liked the story, but I don't feel like reading more books by that author, because I find his writingstyle very annoying. Thr other book is a Danish book by an author called Bent Haller. It seemed like a nice story at first and I enjoyed reading the first chapters. The novel was full of comments about something terrible that happened, but we the author didn't reveal what actually happened. I got more and curious as I read the book and I thought that the author was going to reveal the background of the story in the last chapters, but he never did. I didn't like the book, because there were just too many loose ends and the reader never gets a proper explanation.

The worst book I've ever read is "As I Wake" by Elizabeth Scott. Seriously, nothing happened in that book, but the author insisted turning it into a novel. I cannot tell you how desperate I was with that book! It is full of line breaks, repetitive words. The main character keeps on saying "I don't know what's going on?" and the story is first person point of view, so we the readers also have no clue of what's going on! I wanted to throw that book onto the wall! Too bad it's an ebook format, so I couldn't do it. Anne of Green Gables is also boring. I don't know why people love it, I think it's boring, flat and just blah...

I remember reading a book about Atheism. It's the worst book that I've ever seen. I wasn't able to finish it. I don't know if it is because of my prejudice of that book, or I don't really like what the book was saying, that I don't recall now what's the particular title of that book!

It was a hindi book, an autobiography, named 'meri kahaniyana', by Ashok Panda, but presentation was so poor, guess it was some thing fake.. Happy posting, cheers. Kalyani

Jane Eyre has to be the worst book I've ever read in my life, and no I did not finish it. It was like $15.00 and it was boring and it was long and it was so lame! I wasted my money on the piece of crap and another book I read that was terrible was Ms. Dalloway! It was like a chick flick novel and it sucked tremendously!

The worst book I've ever read was a greek one called "I dream that I walked out". It was not from a famous author and I bought it in a book excibition. It is basically comprised of some indepentent stories that have no common parts or characters and they are also not complete. They don't have a specific starting point or a clear ending. The stories are well written, but I was waiting to read it until the last page to find out that they actually had nothing in common and they were just pages from a diary that were supposedly found ripped in the street. I did finish the book with the hope to find an explanation for those unconnected stories and I was dissapointed to read this ending.

been quite awhile and so moring I can even think of the name of it was really dry
