Worst book

[vienna waits]

Whats the worst book you've ever read? Mine would have to be a Midsummer's Night Dream, Call of the Wild, and The Oddysey.

[dawsongirl]

Wuthering Heights, Madame Bovary, and Crime and Punishment.

[folfan01]

The harry potter books

[Chocoholic]

I think the worst book I've ever read was "A Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley in 12th grade. It was the dumbest, most pointless book i've ever READ!!! I'm also not a Shakespeare fan, although I do enjoy "A Midsummer Night's Dream".

I thought Call of the wild was boring.

[Kay Scarpetta]

"Bound By Honor" by Bill Bananno... well it wasn't bad, don't get me wrong. I understand the whole Mafia thing a lot more. I just had a very hard time keeping track of the 835792 Italian people in it. I think this one would fall under the category of "Most Confusing"

The UNABRIDGED version. OY! lol

WHAAAAAT????!!!! Oh my God - how can you say that??? 'Brave New World' is one of the greatest books ever written! It has meaning on so many levels. I wrote a giant 14 page essay on all the symbolism in the book for my Higher English class in 6th year. It's a truly amazing book.
You read it in 12th grade? What age are you in 12th grade? Perhaps you should go back and read the book again when you are older.

Jeez...I can't believe someone called 'Brave New World' "pointless"...:confused: :confused: :confused:

Call of the Wild. OMG, I couldn't stand it. I'm sorry, maybe it would've been better if Jack London didn't kill off, like, 20 dogs.

Farewell to Manzanar. I just didn't like it; it was pretty boring.

No Language But a Cry. Same as above; just boring.

Treasure Island. Again, boring.... if were GOING to read a pirate book, it should've been Peter Pan...

My Brother Sam is Dead... I'm not too big on war novels.

AH! I hated that book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My Side of the Mountain SUCKED!

The Egypt Game SUCKED!

Harry Potter SUCKED!

Sarah Plain and Tall SUCKED!

The River SUCKED!

[Warm & Fuzzy]

Mine was "Monster" by Dean Marvey

[LaverneShirley]

Okay, I've thought of more...

Sarah Plain and Tall (Okay, I didn't think of that one, but I agree with the person who did)

OMG, I think my least favorite book EVER is Where the Red Fern Grows. I hate that book so much. It was horrible of Wilson Rawls to ever write it. It made me cry in English class. Then I went to social studies and cried telling my friends about why I had been crying. It was too sad. My English teacher even had me do my project on a different book because we had to present the projects, and I was afraid I'd get up their and start bawling.

I just read that one a few months ago in English class.I really hated that book too.

[Mijada]

I don't much care for any of the Stephen King books. I have a lot of trouble getting into them. I'd rather watch the movies instead.

[Beruche]

I just thought of another one The Witch of Blackbird Pond.I just think that it was boring.

[ILuvJoandBlair]

Lord Of The Flies by William Golding, and When I Was Puerto Rican by Esmaralda Santiago. Lord Of The Flies was THE most boring book I've ever laid eyes on.

Aw, I loved that book! It was awesome! To each his own, I guess, but I thought it was great.

Actually there was a time when I would have agreed with that.You see I read this book when I just started discovering reading.So it was really one of the first books I read (outside of school) and I thought it was really good.I think it was in the 3rd grade anyway then I started reading more and forgot about this one.Until the 5th grade when I read it again.I relized that there where better books out there and I put this one in my least favorite book list.So its not really the worst put not my favorite but like you said before to each his own.Didn't mean to post a whole paragraph I really don't have anything better to do:D

If you like it, then good for you! Not everyone has to think it's the greatest book. I was 17 when I read it 3 years ago, and I just did not like it. A lot of my classmates agreed with me.
