I don't have any books I hate because I can find something I like in all of them but the two that are close are
Wuthering Heights - Don't kill me those of you who like it. I really enjoyed the plot it just got extremely repetitive. If it hadn't been for that I would have loved it I'm sure.
Great Expectations - Why? Because of all the words. Good story too many wordings. (Yes, I know why there are so many words so don't explain it to me please.) but still there's only so many times you can repeat the same description for a boat or for a boy.

I didn't like Wuthering Heights either. It was one of the books that I was forced to read for my Senion AP English class. I absolutely loved my teacher, and hated her book choices. I didn't enjoy a single book she picked to make us read..lol xp

*laugh* I actually didn't mind a lot of the books that my teacher chose they were just dry and he didn't seem particularly fond of them or he had just taught them way to many times.
However the next semester I had him as a teacher again and he was much more enthusiastic as to what he was teaching. It was a major difference. We even read Glass Menagerie and to think I actually enjoyed it.

The Summer of my German Soldier.
It took place during the World War II, in America. I read half of it and it was so horrible I coudn't finish it!
I liked To Kill A Mockingbird. Great Expectations was ok.

The Grapes of Wrath, by John Steinbeck. We had to read that book for English class in 10th grade. It's about the Great Depression, and is one of the two most boring books I have ever had to read. (The other was my US History textbook).
Needless to say, I'm not a fan of social studies.

TwitteringMagpie I can't really think of any books that I hate right off the top of my head, lol. Some of my friends really hated the book Great Expectations, though. When I mentioned wanting to read it, they looked like I'd just asked them to shoot me in the head or something, lol. xd Now, every time I mention the words " Great Expectations" they twitch and glare at nothing. I took to bringing it up whenever possible, just for that reaction. Lol. I love that...my friends are the same way!

One of the only books that I really couldn't finish was The Jungle by Upton Sinclair. All the gross parts didn't bother me at all, but everything else did. xd If a character walked into a room, Sinclair would describe that room to the last detail, then the character would move into the next room (no dramatization)!

Gravity's Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon.
Maybe I was too young when I read it (20) but it made no sense and had no value. The best part of it for me was at the beginning where the author describes bananas being grown on top of a penthouse, in a rooftop garden.
I've read far worse books but put them out of my mind so fast I don't even remember the titles.

mountsthelen04 To Kill a Mockingbird! read it in 8th grade, it so long and boring. it took us like 3 months to finish it! I liked to Kill A Mockingbird, when i read it for fun. When we read it for english, it ruined the book for me to search for symbols in everything worst book ive ever read is Pirates Passage, for Red Maple in grade 8. it was like 500 pages, and the first 2/3 of it was just EXTREMELY boring pirate history
