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.

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...
Wonderful book. Unquestionably my favorite book before 3rd grade. 3rd grade was when I first read the Lord of the Rings, the Hobbit and The Old Man and the Sea. All of which pushed Wrinkle in Time back a bit, but it was still a fantastic book.

There Are No Children Here
by Alex Kotlowitz
Had to read it for a sociology class I took senior year in high school. While it wasn't bad content, it was boring and therefore ineffective in my eyes.
the worst book i have ever FINNISHED reading is the da vinci code. i've read and liked some of dan Brown's previous titles, but this was just a more slow, boring controversial version of Angels & Demons. i've read more worse books but don't finnish them
This group is for those who read the comics and loved the cartoon.Which by the way in my opinion are kinda underrated but that's just me.So tell me what you think.
