What is the worst book you have ever read?
I have read two- "Silas Marner" (sorry if I'm offending you if you liked it. I thought it was so weird) and that children's book "The Giving Tree". I about cried when I read that one. If you've never heard of it, you're blessed.
Your thoughts??

You didn't like The Giving Tree? It was such a great book! Did you not like it because it was sad? I was touched by it, I still am when I read it. Reply #1. Apr 14 04, 1:06 AM |

No, I hated that book! I was about in 2nd grade when I first heard it and it was very taumatic for my little mind. =) But seriously, yes, I didn't like it becuase it was sooo sad. That man was the greedyest(sp?) person on earth and it made me mad. Reply #2. Apr 14 04, 11:23 AM |

West to a Land of Plenty is the worst book I have ever read in my intire life. It stunk. My teacher made the class read it because she's practcally in love with it. Reply #3. Apr 14 04, 2:37 PM |

The worst chapter I've ever read was the first one in 'Lord of the Flies'! It was so boring! The worst book has got to be 'Brother in the Land'. It's about Nuclear war and it's just horrible, far too warped for me! Reply #4. Apr 15 04, 11:45 AM |

The worst book i ever read would be LOTR (sorry all you LOTR fans, but i found it really boring and not scary enough) Reply #5. Apr 20 04, 5:42 AM |

You didn't like LOTR? It's great but some people don't like it but that's past my uderstanding! The worst book I read was Jane Eyre-boring! Reply #6. Apr 20 04, 9:34 AM |

OK, dont freak out, but I HATED "The Old Man and the Sea" I know its a classic, and Im offending some people, but really I thought I would die of boredom! Reply #7. Apr 21 04, 6:34 AM |

I didn't like "The Old Man and the Sea" either. I don't have much of a taste for Hemingway's writing. "A Separate Peace" by John Knowles is another book I've never liked. I'm going to get bonked on the head by our newest moderator for saying this, but I don't like "The Great Gatsby" either. Reply #8. Apr 21 04, 7:31 AM |

It's a toss-up between "Lord of the Flies" and that book by Herman Melville about Moby. (Sorry, I am not being "funny" here. I could not post my original reply because the FunTrivia software won't accept the second word of this title because it has an alternative unacceptable meaning). I have to say that "Lord of the Rings" would also be in my "Top Ten" list! (Apologies to all the LOTR fans but I just couldn't get into it at all). Reply #9. Apr 25 04, 9:48 AM |

I agree with 'Brother In The Land'. We had to read it at school and I hated it! It is so depressing! Reply #10. Apr 26 04, 4:58 AM |

I liked "Lord of the Flies" but the one book that I hated in school was "Animal Farm" LAME! Reply #11. Apr 26 04, 8:56 AM |

If we can agree to disagree, I think Animal Farm' was very cleverly written, if you take into account the political climate of the time in which it was written. What was going on in the world of the animals was also happening in human society. Reply #12. Apr 26 04, 10:11 PM |

The first time I read Animal Farm, I hated it - but once we'd covered it in depth in English class, I have to agree that it is a very clever satire (is that the word?) on politics. Reply #13. May 07 04, 1:58 AM |

I liked the book by Melville about Moby. ((LoL)) My worst book is Gone With the Wind. Reply #14. May 08 04, 9:37 AM |

I tried to read DH Lawrence's "Lady Chatterley's Lover" once. I don't know about smutty but it is certainly turgid. I also quite enjoyed the tale of Ahab, Queequeg and co. in "Moby D*ck" but its some time since I read it. Reply #15. May 08 04, 10:40 PM |

I hated having to read D*ckens at school, and haven't ever got over it. I'm one of those people who reads the labels on food packets if there's nothing else to hand, but I have a mental block with Charles. I think it was the long-winded descriptions of everything and everyone that seemed to interrupt every second page. (Yes, you guessed - just like the Moby references above, it wouldn't let me post D*ckens in all its glory because it read it as profane!) Reply #16. May 13 04, 5:43 AM |

I just read another terrible book! My sister is addicted to the Ally's World books. I decided to find out what was so good about them. Let's put it this way- I'm still wondering. Reply #17. May 21 04, 5:40 AM |

My least favorite is Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen. It was too slow-moving. Reply #18. May 25 04, 12:12 PM |

I would have to say that the worst book I have ever had to read is "The Hobbit". It was very, very boring. I have never had to read any of the LOTR books, and I never will read them, or see any of the movies. Reply #19. May 30 04, 7:52 PM |

The most recent Kay Scarpetta book by Patricia Cornwell. It was a joke. Any other Kay Scarpetta fans read it and think, what the heck happened? Reply #20. Jun 17 04, 1:32 PM |
