Makes long bus journeys feel like flying from Dublin to Australia.

Grabbed My Sisters Keeper from a book exchange when I was travelling in SE asia (only english book there). Dear god is Jodi Picoult ever a terrible writer. Picked up another one of her books by curiosity and it was the same. Really over the top dramatic plot lines with ridiculously one dimensional characters and painfully obvious 'plot twists.' Also, the thinly veiled preachy moral 'lessons' she puts in there are just nauseating.

I tried so hard to like this... I really did. I'll give Requiem for a Dream a pass even though I didn't really like that one either. I read it right after reading Trainspotting for the first time, and found that Requiem lacked severely. However Last Exit to Brooklyn was just unreadable for me it was so bad.

Probably the Scarlet Letter

If you were on the east coast I'd set you on fire.

This miserable piece of **** was a book on how not to write. Shock-value plots with unreasonable praise. Reads like the ramblings or a first-time writer who wants to seem troubled.

Sorry for replying to this a year after the fact but really? That book had a huge effect on me when I read it. I thought it was very powerful and very disturbing.

The worst book I've ever read is easily More than money. I can't even find a picture of the cover online, that's how **** it is. My French feminist bitch of a teacher made us read it in grade seven. It's about some stupid French-Canadian girl who falls in love with a life guard and tries to save up for "jeans with roses painted on them" to impress him. Her parents get divorced, she buys her jeans , but the lifeguard still doesn't like her because she's fat. She goes through "the teenage expeirience", grows up a bit and then starts dating an ugly guy THE END.

Bull****....

MOST. AMBITIOUS. BOOK. EVER.

that sounds terrible! sounds very anti-climatic

Lol, that is pretty awful.

I love when Adults write books designed to help kids with the problems of growing up as if they have all the answers. You almost can hear them saying "This one's definitely getting me a series on Oprah."
