Bad chapters in good books?
 
Basically what the title says. I am pretty sure Chapter 32: Cetology in Moby Dick is the worst chapter of all time that can be found in a good book. It's a long chapter where Ishmael tells us useless information on whales.

Any other examples?

the last chapter in A clockwork Orange (the UK version)
it's good they removed it in the US version ... in this chapter Alex becomes a good human being. It just ruins the whole book.

and if anyone read HP 7 ... they sure know the ugliness of the last chapter. When all of them are in their 30s and married.

I disagree, I think the last chapter is the best part of the book :/ It's more of a coming of age thing then. But to each their own...

I'm trying to think of bad chapters in books...
Ah, Chapter 11 of The Picture of Dorian Gray was such a chore to get through. Wilde mentions like every single royal family and it's soooo crazy. Got on my nerves.

Haha really? Weird.
It was just so strange for me... cos I loved taking European History in Highschool (actually the only AP class I got a 5 in xD) but... that was like crazy D:

Dorian Gray... this sounds familiar. I don't mean to be crude but isn't that where Sasha Gray got her name from?

I think that when I read Life of Pi it was funny how the first half of the book seemed to drag until the middle of the story where the book seems to just race along.
