What Is Your Least Favorite Book Of All Time?

The title says it all,
What is your least favorite book of all time? (Give reasonings)

Mine is 20,000 Leagues Under the Seas by Jules Verne. It just read like an Encyclopedia most of the time.

Sounder. It's won awards, but the book was pretty much about a little boy who loses his dog and whose dad is arrested for stealing a piece of ham, wrapped into a sizeable novel. Quite boring and depressing to me.

Goodnight Mister Tom, we had to read it for English class and I hated every bit of it

[Captain Canada]

All books pretty much suck to me expect manga and comics. Why? You have to read them and its no fun... at all :l Worst book for me... I dont remember the title, for good reason too. I never want to see it again...

I tried reading it it a few years ago and gave up on it because I found it really hard to focus on the story.

I've read plenty of books that I didn't like, I'm not sure what my least favourite was but The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time would definitely be up there. I had to do it in English class last year and the sort of teacher I had made us hate everything we did in that class.

We're doing it next year...Thanks for the heads up XD

Animal Farm

[Elysium]

Tough call. I really disliked The House on Mango Street and Uglies. I also would not read Twilight again if you paid me. Not a big fan of If I Stay, either.

[ArtemisLianCrock]

It would have to be "Great Expectations" (shudder). I burnt my copy after the first page.

Same, but with Moby Dick.

I want an adventure about hardy seafaring mariners and whalers, not about how wales fuck each other. So many fillers my head was going to explode.

Currently reading Monte Cristo. Doesn't have as much filler, but still it discusses a lot of useless stuff in between.

Had to read that in 5th class.

[AlexOnToast]

Had to read that in 5th class.

I still miss Zach :'(

[LouBerry]

Great Expectations was horrid, but The Red Badge of Courage and Narrative of the Life of Fredrick Douglas take the cake.

[sqishy]

I still miss Zach :'(


I did a bit but since 2007 it sort of has been in my memories of the far past :/

[Croconaw]

To Kill a Mockingbird is my absolute least favorite book. It has nothing to do with killing birds.

[Saint of Sinners]

I hated A Wrinkle In Time. Had to read it for class, but I just couldn't finish it.

[itsanthonym]

The Catcher In The Rye.. poor dialogue, lack of storyline, biased depressing suicidal point of view, grammatically challenged protagonist...

[DorkimusPrime]

I hated A Wrinkle In Time. Had to read it for class, but I just couldn't finish it.

I tried reading that once, stopped after the first page.

[Luminous]

I grew up with my nose in a book, so a lot of these surprise me.. But I think my least favorite book may be A Wrinkle In Time. I had to read that book two or three times and I just can't stand it. Not a fan of To Kill A Mockingbird - I've read it before for school and I'm currently reading it again. I don't like the Narnia series at all, same with Lord of the Rings. There are more but that's all the ones off of the top of my head.

[Saint of Sinners]

I tried reading that once, stopped after the first page.

Haha I got about halfway before realising I didn't know wth was going on anymore, skipped to the end, still didn't get it. Then I just gave up.

[Seemyheart]

Lord of the Flies... not my kind of book:/

[Seth Green]

I'd say my least favorite book is Mein Kampf.

[grossgod11]

Like Water For Chocolate, it was a terrible book we had to read in school, and I'm in honors English so they tried to make the book harder by making us write more papers on it and it was hell cause nobody wanted to read that book.

[dsi411]

April Morning. It was soooo boring.

[SixSmith]

Ditched, I'm sorry but for me it's too boring because I like informative books and I think I hadn't learn any lesson in that book. The book is just all about whining of a girl because his prom partner has ditched him and mainly about kissing so...yeah I just wasted my money buying that book grr.

[Vocabulous]

The outsiders. Fuck you ponyboy.

[Karkat]

The Catcher In The Rye.. poor dialogue, lack of storyline, biased depressing suicidal point of view, grammatically challenged protagonist...

HAHA I've never read it, but one of my best friends went into this ENDLESS RANT about how terrible it was. It was one of the funniest things ever, just because of the way she did it. I always laugh a little when I see that title now.


I'd say Hero by Mike Lupica- promising idea, some of the carryout was good, but the ENDING SUCKED BALLS. One of the biggest wastes of time EVER.

I'm also not a huge fan of Gulliver's Travels. Had to read it for seventh grade for a book report, didn't really like it. I know it's satire, I appreciate the satire, the book itself is not so great.

I don't really regret it because well, it was for a grade, at least I had an incentive. My reading level was so high that it was literally my only option. (I got so mad when I was told that I HAD to do it, when it was 2-3 times longer than anyone else's books)

OH WELL. I didn't get a grade for reading Hero though. That was one personal reading selection (and book of the month club selection) I'll never get back. Grr.

[Star Wolf]

The Last of the Mohicans. It was a class-assigned book, but the wording was so complicated I couldn't even read it.

[Snowfall]

The Hunger Games. I read the first book and I don't get why people like it at all. Don't like it at all.
