Another not-so-great book: The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood. Don't get me wrong, I like her other stuff, but when I read this book I was like, WTF?

No, I haven't actually! I like disturbing things, I might check it out.

The long Walk is a great read as was the novella set in the school regarding gun crime. I cannot for the life remember what it was called. His short stories are far more appealing.

I think that was called Rage.

Okay, to all you Twilight haters out there, you have to admit, that even though the books were not highly intelictual or even really that well written, they're addictive!

I agree. And I'm not embarrassed to say so. But I'm a Harry Potter nerd as well, so...

Somewhat addictive I'd say. I didn't enjoy them at all and yet I read the entire series. Addiction or for the sake of completeness I don't know.

I don't think they're addictive. Once I read most of the first one I never went back! And I'm also a Harry Potter nerd...

Well then you have stronger will than I do. I can't start a book without finishing it. :)

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.

I have read it more than once and I see it as a piece of propoganda. Very powerful and well written in it's own way but it's only that to me personally. I didn't choose it to be confrontational but it is the most readily available book in most schools and any counterpoints to it are not encouraged which is a shame.
