Worst Book You have ever had the displeasure of reading

For me it would have to be any of the books in the "Flowers in The Attic" series by V.C. Andrews

The first book was pretty meh but each book that followed got worse and worse, and my sick need for closer made me power through them.
The woman can't seem to make her characters evolve at all. The way they are written when they are 11 are the same way they are written when they are 36.

She loves ending ever sentence in exclamation points! To the point were they lose all effect.

She also writes every character as a complete whore or a sick stalker who can't move on with their lives.

She also falls into the trap of making characters impossibly beautiful, every single character needs a 9 sentence paragraph describing how wonderful they look. This would not be that big of a deal but they do it 15 times for every character. If you took out character descriptions all her 200 page books would be 5 page pamphlets about being overly dramatic.

I never finish books I don't like.
Quitter , even books you have to read for school?
Never disliked any enough to declare "Worst Book Ever." Candide was pretty disappointing.

Oh! I really disliked Hannibal before I stopped reading it.
God I had to read A Tale Of Two Cities For School and it was God Awful!
One of the best books I've ever read. Bar none the most impacting.
The Tommyknockers.

I got about half way through before I realized that I would rather beat myself to death with the cover than continue.

I'm sure there are others, but I can't think of them right this moment . . .
God you have no soul.
It's an oral tradition put down on paper. It's a perfect example of the style. To dislike it is to simply dislike pre-mass media culture.
You're kidding right???? This is one of the best epics ever written....
"Brida" by Paulo Coelho, this book is one the most superfluos, badly written things I've read.
Oh you are so right Claudia, for me reading any of Paulo Coelho's books is a waist of my time, but if someone offers me one of his books, i'll read it, out of polightness, my mamma tought me right, also,but it's haaarrrddd.
Oh, and another one: Nietsche's Zaratusta...
Friedrich Nietzsche's Thus Spoke Zarathustra is one of the most significant novels of the 19th century, not to mention one of the best philosophical novels ever written, and does not deserve to be mentioned in this forum thread. If it's too esoteric for you, just don't bother reading it.
