A Pretentious, Badly Written Romantization Of A Toxic Relation Disguised As A Romance Novel. Need I Say More?
Most uncomfortable book and movie ever and basically has no plot just long meandering creepy sex scenes
That's Not Writing, That's Typing - Tuman Capote About This Book
The Boredom And Lethargy Of This Book Killed It For Me
I know it is a classic, but it bored me half to death. Napoleon's retreat from Russia was faster...
I Just Couldn’t Stand Those People
Whenever It Seemed Like Something Interesting Was Going To Happen, It Fizzled Out. I Gave Up About A Third Of The Way Through

I tried so hard to read Catcher in the Rye but at around page 250 I just couldn't take that whiney, self entitled little prick any longer.

Load More Replies...I don't have an image, but I DESPISE "Dry" by Neal Shusterman, the characters and plot are so awful
*NOTHING* ruins a book faster than being assigned to read it for an English class. In college, our professor decided he was going to do us a huge favor and assign a *Science Fiction* novel for us to read and write papers on. As a lifelong SF fan, I was excited. Turned out to be Vonnegut's 'Slaughterhouse Five', and a more self-indulgent piece of c**p I have never encountered. If I had thought of that one in time, I would have submitted it.
