Worst Book Ever

For me it would be The Gift by James Patterson.

I mean the first one was tolerable, but what was that?

Also saying Twilight is banned or else that would be this entire thread

Re: Worst Book Ever

I actually hated the first Witch and Wizard book. Reason why I never read The Gift.
Another book that I absolutely despised was Chasing Vermeer, for some odd reason it was required reading for me, it was an awful mystery novel with an awful premise.

Also, basically any Goosebumps book. I know I know they're a classic children's series but come on, it's horrifying how ungodly and otherwordly awful that series is.
Heh it's horrifying that it's unhorrifying, paradoxxxx.

Why do you guys hate it?
It's certainly not the best book ever but
Why is it the worst?

Anyways. Maradonia and the Seven Bridges. :P

+1

I don't understand how on earth you can hate that series so much, but it's your opinion, not mine.


Goodbye 1.4. I'll always remember you and treasure your awesomeness in my heart.

Re: Worst Book Ever

Don't flame on me, but I really hated The Hunger Games. Catching Fire and Mockingjay were great though.


If you want something to do while Scratch is down, check out tbgs.tk! It's the new version of the (closed) Scratch TBGS, run by Scratchers! I'm going to spend most of my time there, anyway.

4 stars on Amazon, though!

I think it may be interesting to read just because of its historical impact, though.

Re: Worst Book Ever

I got this children's book from our used book store, called something like "LUCY'S SUPER COOL AND TOTALLY TRUE E-JOURNAL." It's about a snarky 9 year old's summer break, and it has cheesy chatlogs of her and her best friend talking to each other in all capital letters and using acronyms that get defined in the footnotes after every use. Probably the worst children's book I've ever seen, but I still bought it.

There was also a comic by one of my favorite artists (Dan Clowes!) that I suffered through because I kept waiting for it to get better. It wasn't really meant to be read in one sitting, I guess, since it was a weekly publishing or something but just sitting down and trying to read it was so boring and awful

Apparently the "e-journal" was made before EVERYBODY used the internet constantly, so the index of acronyms may be excusable. It does sound awful though. 5 stars from 11 reviewers on Amazon though!
