icer190 Fantasy Moon icer190 I would have to say all of the "Dear America" books, The Giver, Chocolate War, The Pigman, The Pigman 2(or whatever it was called), Our Town, Bridge to Terabithia, Johny Trumain, The Adventures of Tom Sauyer, Huckleberry Finn, Diary of Anne Frank:The Story of a Young Girl. And some others that I cant remember... Not a Mark Twain fan, are you? Nope, I just dont like his style of writing, and I cant read what the people are saying, they're using such bad English, though I can read pre-Shakespear books... I thought that was one of the best parts about his books because it gave you a feel for how they sounded. Maybe I am just odd that way.

Eragon bored me to tears. And this book on how Bush was ubstructing social security...it looked so intresting untill I read the first sentence.
#1 MOST DISSAPOINTING BOOK OF ALL TIME!:
Torch Red by Melody Carlson
At first it said it was this book about this girl who was being pressured into having sex and something like that, BUT THEN it turns its this big christian-y thing and blah blah blah. I can't explain it well enough.

The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath.
This author, who happens to be a poet, uses far to many poetic/literary devices. She used them to the point where I spent more time picturing the similies and metaphors than the story itself. Her use of first person was also intended to be chronological with flashbacks, but it felt more like stream of consciousness, the way things were jumbled together.Whatever faults there are in the story, however, Plath can attribute to the main character Esther who narrates it from first-person. This, however, is a futile claim, since Esther is an autobiographical representation of Plath.

Dracula. I love Vampire/Zombie/Horror films, and reading Bram Stoker was just dense, and droll, and boring. He was nearly as bad as Dickens. Made me want to cry, a classic that I found so terribly boring.

I have to say The Hobbit. It is probably one of the worst books I have ever read. It was so boring it took me forever to suffer through it.

I would have to say Inkheart. All my friends suggested it, but when I read it, I just didn't like it. I tried to get into it, but it was just to boring for me.

I would have to say Good Omens, by Neil Gaiman. It was undeniably well written and imaginative, but it had gotten rave reviews for humor. I was disapointed to find very little humor in it...or perhaps just not my brand of humor.

Zlata's Diary was so god awful I wanted to burn the book. All though that the worst book I think The Giver was absolutely disapointing. I loved it until the end it was just pathetic.

I was really disappointed in the first Wheel of Time book by Robert Jordan. EVeryone had told me that the series was so good and if I liked Sword of Truth, then I'd LOVE Wheel of Time. So I checked it out and eagerly dove in, excited to start a new epic fantasy series and well...I was so bored! I don't know if I just wasn't in the mood and if I tried it again, if I'd like it more. But I just has the hardest time getting through it. And I wanted to like it. But that's one epic fantasy series I just had to reject.

Hmmmm..... i've actually found quite a few books dissapointing but probably the most so was either in fire forged or Luna. In Fire Forged was a really great book but then they just kinda pooped the ending and i had no want at all to read the sequal.
Luna was okay of a book but i really liked the narrator, and then they just ruined the whole thing beyond repair at the end.
Edit: Sword of shannaera was the absolute worst. I bought it thinking it would be really good but by the time that i was halfway through i was bored to tears, threw the book down, and never picked it up again.

There's this one book I've got to read for school... "The Remains of the Day" by Kazuo Ishiguro...
This book was as boring as nothing else for me... and now I've got to read it for the second time...
It's written in a high-class English wchich is difficult to understand for me because I'm no native English speaker...
Honestly... a book with a first sentence like that: "It is increasingly likely that I will really undertake this expedition that has been preoccupying my mind for some time now." in school for people who did not grew up with speaking English? Not a good idea... even my teacher did not like the book...
