A Walk to Remember

I'm not proud of it. It was part of English class.

God I hated it so much. I bought it under the pretense that it was written by a young author and it was his own critique on his generation, but no it's written by so old douche bag who pines for "the good ol' days". I lent it to my friend and after reading a few pages he asked me if it was OK for him to write in it, I said it was and a few months after I got it back almost every page had a counter-argument or totally destroyed whatever credibility the author had, reading his comments was far more entertaining then the book.
**** old people. They is stupid n ****.

Can't really remember a truly awful book that I've read. I guess I could say Stephen King's Dreamcatcher, but it had its good bits. Didn't suck anywhere near as hard as the movie either.

I hated Wicked. Well I didn't hate it, but I found it grossly overrated. To be fair the books I hate are usually the ones I give up on pretty early on.
^^Yes. Wicked sucked perpetual balls. It seemed like it was a pretty steady pattern of something like this:
chapter completly made up of flowery writing
chapter completly made up of flowery writing
SEXXX
Repeat

I sort of have a history of getting books for my birthday...and they usually suck. One year, my Grandpa got me this advice book by Bill O'Reiley. It was so stupid it was redic.

Anywho, I can't say there is a book that I've read that I actually flat out hated. Usually if I'm not feeling it by the time I've read a decent portion of it, I put it down.

Read this if you want a blatant course in arse kissing in literature.

In all seriousness, the worst book I ever read is probably The Island by Peter Benchley (the dude who wrote Jaws). It's about a clan of modern day pirates who all live on some secret island in the Caribbean and are all descended from Blackbeard or some such bullshit. Anyway, it's as bad as it sounds.

I actually liked that book a lot when I was a kid. It's pretty hard for me to imagine someone having trouble understanding it.
