What is the worst book you have ever read?

I never finished the Hobbit, because I was bored 5 pages into the book. One of my friends never finished the first book of Lord of the Rings!! But the worst, worst, most pointless book I've ever read is the Well of Echoes series. The first book had a good story, so you want to read the second one... and by then it just falls through. There are four books, and they get more and more tedious, so that you read just to be over with it. There is a story to it, but it takes forever to unravel. And once you get to the end of the fourth book (each is about 600-700 pages), all happy because you'll finally know how it ends, it basically gives you a half ending. Some stuff happens, and then it blatantly says "if you want to know the rest, buy my next three books!". So you've read nearly 3000 pages of rubbish to NOT know what happens in the end. The author is selling their books in the worst possible way and SHOULDN'T EVER be read/bought. A waste of time and money. That happened a year and a half ago and I'm still unhappy about it.

So far the worst book I can think of is called "The Pearl". I remember reading it while I was still at school and it was my worst reading experience ever. The story was very slow paced, hardly nothing happened while you kept on reading it. It seemed like an absolute waste of time to me. Unluckily I coludn't quit reading it, because it was part of a literature class. Other than that I can't think of another book. If I don't like it, I just quit reading it.

So far - I either have to say "The Hobbit" which took me months to read because it bored me to tears and I threw it at the wall so many times - or "1984" which I thought was just lacking... so many things.

Empire, it was supposed to be this great book on the global justice movement. I spent $40. I was so looking foward to it. It sucked; I never finished it.

The worst book I have ever read is Jane Austins "Pride and Prejudice".I wish I get all all the time reading and studying that horrible book. It was one of my papers for an exam.I have studied other novels but this one was horrible

I first read a crime fiction novel called "The Poet" by Michael Connelly and it was splendid, a fantastic read. Then he wrote a sequel called "The Narrows" and I was phyked to read it.. and then when I actually read it... It was Horrid! Because of the expectation, it felt even worse.. all the great things about the original ended up being completely unexisting in the sequel.
