    Witness by Karen Hesse.
    Yuck. It might have a good moral, but being written in poetic form gives me the willies.

    As for Twilight: it is a little cliche, but I can't blame Stephenie Meyer for it. She
    had a dream and went on with it. She wrote a story like most of us do. Plus she
    never said she was a professional writer. Just saying.

    Definitely "The Tale of Two Cities". I feel ready to build a time machine and just scream "No!" on top of my lungs. The whole point of the book could've been stated the first two chapters. Definitely "Extras" - it was an example of how to kill a book series. "Blue Bloods" made a mockery of vampires. I can stand "Twilight", because at least it's marketed as a romance, not a true blue vampire book. But "Blue Bloods"? No.

    A Seperate Peace. We read it freshman year, and I have never before, or after, read a worse book. It had basically no plat, and the ending was awful. I mean, come on? [won't spoil it for anyone who has/wants to read it.]

    Hickleberry Finn was pretty awful too...I ended up Sparknoting [did I just make a new verb?] the second half of it.

    I like how a lot of these books are school ones :XD

    I haven't really read any books for fun that I didn't like...

    Vampire Kisses. - I seriously laughed.
    The most poorly written book I've read in a long time.
    There's nothing even remotely... realistic about it, honestly. It's just the style with the added fact that there's nothing... interesting to it, makes it very bad.

    I don't like anything by James Patterson. His books are just not for me, unfortunately

    The Sunset Song Series: I'm Scottish and I couldn't make hind nor hair of this bloody book. I'd hate to be someone who wasn't Scottish to have a go of that. It took me three chapters to figure out that Chris was a girl, not a boy.

    Lord of the Rings Boooooooooooooring and over-complicated.

    Twilight Ugh.

    Meg Cabot books Ditto the above.

    Oliver Sorry Dickens but this one was pants pants pants. Great Expectations - lovely. This? Tripe.

    The Band by Debra Garfinkle.
    It was full of people who cheated on each other with this one with that one.
    I loathe it.
    I was supposed to buy the series but thankfully I didn't.
    When I read it I got so pissed off.
    I really dislike it when people are unfaithful to each other.

    ive read the twilight series, and i mean--theyre okay, but for real. why does everybody love edward? i think hes an annoying stuck up egotistic prick. and bella--shes a hoe. jacob--hes too angsty and agressive. emmet is the one and only character i enjoy.

    i tried reading a seperate peace. i really did--but i couldnt. it bored me to no end.

    meg cabot annoys the hell out of me. she writes boring stupid cliche melodramatic teen books. reading them is like suicide, i swear.

    i hated to kill a mocking bird. it bored me to tears and by the end of it i didnt feel any different. i have and always will believe that you should feel something when you finish a book--like you dont want it to end.

    holocaust books. maybe its just the fact that ive had to read so damn many of them. i mean--the holocaust was a horrible tragedy and should never be forgotten, but really--does every single book we read in school have to be about the holocaust. are they trying to make us miserable?

    Animal Farm.
    It made no sense.
    At least, not to me.

    Animal Farm bored me quite a bit, as did A Tale of Two Cities (gag meeee). I'm also rather impartial to Shakespeare's work, and Edgar Allen Poe's stuff, too. I hate having to grab a dictionary to figure out what the fuck people are saying. Plus, it seemed like those two were too wrapped up in themselves.

    Cut was kind of eh as well.
    And I don't know how I feel about Twilight, but I'm not crazy about it; I've never read it, but I heard it was great from some and eh from others and...yeah.

    Maybe it's just me.

    Okay, really dumb book here: Catcher in the Rye.
    Okay, a teen angst novel, but J.D. Salinger really needed to either get a life or learn how to write dialogue...
    Because it's all about Holden Holden Holden.

    Plus, Holden is a really lame name.
    Who names their kid Holden. Mon Dieu.

    And The Giver and Gathering Blue (both by Lois Lowry) were lame.

    But I think the worst book I've ever read is Lord of the Flies... I hated it so much that I don't even remember who wrote it, and I'm good with remembering that stuff. I had to watch the movie in my Civics class two years ago (8th grade) and okay, I like the idea of anarchy but that was a bit too much, and they just HAAAAD to kill off Piggy.
    Fuckerssss.

    It was a stream-of-consciousness narrative, hence the jumpiness and lack of dialogue. And Holden was a teenager, we're pretty self-obsessed. And it was set in the past, they had weird names. :shifty

    Fahrenheit 451. :| There was a time when I liked it, but when I read it for school I just found it kind of dry.
