I got about 4/5 of the way through Mommie Dearest before I threw it across the room. I know the poor girl had a hard life and her mother was horrible to her but it just seemed like "my famous mother is dead and now I am going to make a few bucks"
Maybe I was in a bad mood that day.

"Britons never never shall be slaves." As true now as it was in 1740.

Or maybe the book was giving you a bad mood.
Sometimes that happens to me and them I totally go off the book and never wnat to see it again.
I was like that when I read Harry Potter :: The Chamber Of Secrets (Book 1) I got to page 2 and never read it again.

I'd have to say A Handmaid's Tale. I don't even know who the author is, anymore. It's basically a rip-off of Orwell's 1984, except it revolves around more sexist issues. Horrendous, disturbing, and overall, a very unsatisfying read.
Be warned, people. NEVER READ THIS BOOK!

I didn't really like Watership Down but that's because I don't like Richard Adam's style. I've read a lot of bad books...but I can't think of any at the moment...

It was this romance I borrowed not very long ago. And ugh it was terrible! It was set back in the day (1600's) and this man (bad word) this woman and she fell in love with him and they married happily. So stupid. Put me in a terrible mood. And give romances a bad name.

Anything by Charles Dickens gives me the runs. Yeah, yeah, literary master, yada yada yada... he can't even describe blinking without taking up 4 and a half paragraphs. I know that he was paid by magazines per word, but that's still no excuse to milk Tiny Tim's death for every drop he could. Sheesh!
He could learn a thing or two from Hemingway or Carver.
