I didn't like 'Byzantium' by Lawhead either... the beginning and the end were okay, but the middle was just too long. A character whining and making bad decisions for 200 some pages... I barely got through it.
Anything by VC Andrews... incest and rape and loads of other messed up stuff, and people enjoying it. Some of her books warped me when I read them in 5th grade, not knowing what they were.
Those 'possessed cheerleader' garbage books that they have in middle school libraries. *scowls* And to think I read so many back then...
Least-favorite books ever!

Left Behind and more extensivly... most "end times fiction" I found Left Behind to be poorly written, with horrible charachters and a mostly forgettable set of subplots, and poorly executed, not to mention how much I disagreed with the authors. What made it worse was the hype surrounding it and the fact that people insisted that others read the series.
Dan Browns novels are also books that I thouroughly didn't enjoy. HE has one mediocre story in him and he retells it in each book he writes. Unnessesary content, plain charachters and boring plots all the way through. I didn't even read Da Vinci code, since I ws so dissappointed by deception point and angels and demons.

Da Vinci Code.....
n:
Content aside, it was simply a badly written book. The characters, particularly the two leads, were boring, stagnant and cliche. Silas was marginally interesting but that's probably because I like albino characters. The bad guy was obvious and so was the "plot twist" (the "Oh YOU'RE the bad guy HOW COULD YOU" moment). Ugh.
As mechana said--End Times Fiction (no need to state further here). Although I did enjoy Gilbert Morris' take. And happily, it was only a trilogy, not an infinity.

A book that just plain sucked: The Sight by David Clemens- whatever. Here's what happened:
Wolf is born. Wolf has strange powers (the sight). Wolf watches almost all characters die. Wolf forsees her death. Wolf must defeat bad guy. They are on a bridge. Bridge is falling. BEAUTIFUL passage sounds like wolf will break free of her prediction. Wolf jumps- and----
Wolf and bad guy miss the ledge falling into vicious rocks because of "reality."
It's not just the ending that really is stupid. Christianity is bashed *heavily* The guy says bad things about the Crusades (which were bad) but he goes on making fun of Jesus and he made it so that there was this scene of a fishy coming out and growing legs and becoming human and ugh. The wolves started out having their own beliefs and they all became "aethiest wolves" in the end.
This book was retarded. I'm going to go and burn some.
Oh yeah, there was a character named Bran three flipping times. What in the name of nonexistant British elk was the author smoking when he wrote this?

I heavily disliked Great Expectations, not because the writing was bad (it was quite excelent), but because the main character is a huge wuss.
I used to like the Left Behind books, but that was before I could tell good writing from bad.

Without a doubt, I would say that As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner is the book that I have hated reading the most. It seems to be well thought of in intellectual circles, but I do not understand why other than maybe it being strange and inexplicably obtuse. Not only is the writing bad, but the story has nothing about it which I find interesting or edifying in any way.
Good writing and good art, in my opinion, should be able to communicate its message on at least some level to any audience. If it has a greater depth to it as well, that's wonderful. But when, on its face, a book is practically indecipherable then that is bad writing. I personally have little use for Faulkner himself or for stream-of-consciousness writing.

I'm sure this guy tried really hard and I actually know him on another board, but I got this book and the first ten pages were okay, but then it just got so dull and monotonous that I had NO desire to finish it.
It just wasn't written really well, and he was always throwing this complex stuff in there that just slowed it down and made it very hard to understand and move on.
I understand the guys a Christian and all, but I just didn't care for it at all.

Purple Emperor. I started reading it, and in the very first chapter there was already major abuse to both animals and people, and some X-rated things. This was under the teens section, and it was quite foul.

The "Song of the Loiness" series by Tamora Peirce. >_<"
It was obvious that the books were not written from some inspiration, some need to share an idea, Peirce was writing to the pay.
The heroine of the series slept with three men throughout, and wed none (to be fair, there was implication of a future marriage at the end).
In the book, Peirce tried to express the value of women and thier equality to men (ya, she went to the darkness that is the feministic veiw so it would be put on the YA shelf w/o question), but failed miserably. Sure, the girl learned the use of a sword and went out and kicked tail and all that, but she was still the weak stereotype that women suffer from. *Pokes male heroes in story off cliff, then throws Alanna after them*
It went in-depth on certain occultic practices, though I didn't have much of a problem with that. Woo, I'm on a roll. Better stop.
A friend reccomended it to me. I'm still debating whether I should let her know exactly what I thought of it.
Hmm... I don't know. Do I dislike it? XD

The Good Earth - One of those typical "required readings" in high school. Not only did the ending stink so much that my whole class got **** about it, but it was booooring as heck for about 3/4 of the story. And it's a very very long book. The characters themselves aren't exactly the best role models either.

Steppenwolf by Herman Hesse
Quest for Christa T. by Christa Wolf
Silmarillion by J.R.R. Tolkien
Dune by Frank Herbert
Steppenwolf and Quest for Christa T were both required reading books for this semester. They were just so totally boring to me, although I must admit Steppenwolf had it's interesting parts - hehe, Pablo and his drugs...I wonder what they were using at the end...Anywho, both are translations from German, so that could have made them seem worse than they were.
I tried reading Silmarillion in 8th grade. I got about 5 pages into it before giving up and have never had the urge to pick it up and try to finish it.
Dune is the one book I truly didn't like, considering I finished it and simply read it for leisure(sp?). I just hated it for some reason. Probably part of it was its weird messed up religions and such. Normally strange religions don't bother me in fiction, but since this was so obviously taken from real religions I think it might have offended me in some way. But I do like the name "Orange Catholic Bible." It just makes me laugh. I'd almost become a fan of the series just so I could have a reason to buy a Catholic Bible and paint it orange! I'm weird.

So is there something more to the term "Orange Catholic Bible" that I don't understand? Part of the other books or just that I might not fully appreaciate what each word stands for or what? It's been a while since I read the book so I don't even remember if it mentioned that "Orange" had any significance whatsoever. Heh, I don't even remember the main character's name!

I don't know that the author meant it, or precisely why it's called "The Orange Catholic Bible", but I'm thinking of a more contemporary source of irony. I'm referring to the Orange Lodges, which are very anti-Catholic and are prominent in Northern Ireland. They have a history here in Canada as well, although their influence has long vanished.

Ug, I'm struggling through reading the book Disgrace by J.M. Coetzee but I sort of have to cause it's for eng class.... HORRIBLE! JUST HORRIBLE! No one in the class likes it and I can't believe it won a prize :/ It was just BAD and BORING and VERY DULL!! Ug, Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood (the other book I had to read for class) was much more better than this hunk of junk...
BTW: yeah my advice is don't read it, but has anyone else already?

Great Expectations. My goodness. I hated every fiber in that book's pages. XD Charles Dickins did a lovely job with A Christmas Carol, but I'm sorry, Great Expectations was just lacking in every category, mostly the interesting category. XD Another one that I just have to mention here is Across Five Aprils. AAAAHH. Hated. It. And also The Red Badge of Courage. Maybe the Civil War just bores me, who knows. XD
Oh, and while this may seem odd, I really didn't like the book "The Wizard of Oz." Maybe it's because I was so in love with the movie/musical version of it by the time I read it, but it was written so simply and with less character development than anything else that I had read, so it was just really boring to me, I guess. XD
