"Treasure Island". I absolutely hated it.

Maybe it was just the writing style. If it had been a different writing style, then perhaps I would've liked it.


Oh, and also "Story Time" by Edward Bloor. He made the 7th grade girl act like a five-year-old, and it was just a stupid book.

relaly? i thought his book a walk to remember was really good i cried

the book i hate is A lesson before dying by some guy i forgot and aslo the great gasby T-T gosh i was dying reading them

Oh! I don't like Faulkner. As I Lay Dying, "Barn Burning," and "Spotted Horses" all irked me like no other. ... Stupid Bundrens and company.

And last two pages of Kate Chopin's The Awakening ruined the entire book. </3

WHAT? *Cries* FAULKNER IS MY FAVORITE. But yes, the ending of The Awakening just further strengthened my Edna-is-a-complete-idiot premise in English class last year.

Reading Faulkner makes me want to bang my head on the table at how stupid the characters are!

Definitely The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway...the most boring and pointless book i've ever read.

Not all of them are! I like Quentin.. and Darl..

I liked Vardaman. "My mother is a fish."

Ugh.
Pretty much anything remotely similar to Mark Twain's diction rapes me in the ass.

the autobiography of miss jane pittman.

Completely agreed. Reading the Scarlet Letter was completely terrible.

^ It might have been irritable, but it'll be quite helpful come AP English testing time.

hatchet, babysitters club (my teatcher was obsessed!), and boxcar, and old man in the sea, i would rather rip my eyes out then read the last one.

great expectations.

ALKSJDLFKAJDKLF

I'm actually going to have to agree with someone in this thread. That's the one book I've been assigned to in school and haven't finished it. I HATE SPARK NOTES.

Saffy's Angel. It's more of a kid book, but meh. I had to read it in fourth grade or something and I practically died reading it. I even tried reading it now with more interest of books, but I stilllllll find it so hard to follow. >.<

I absolutely hated Vampire Diaries.

Of course it's about the popular girl, gorgeous, gets any guy she wants, has a super-cute boyfriend that she LEAVES, for a vampire that she "can't get" in the beginning.

Ah, the allure of the forbidden.

BUT THEN. Of course the vampire falls in love with her.

AND SO DOES HIS BROTHER! Oh my.

And then she gets turned into a vampire, but dies.

And becomes a ghost?!

Yeah, no way she's gonna be leaving. Should have stopped reading there, but noo, my "once you start reading a book, finish it" thing has to kick in.

Suffer in silence. D:

Of course she just HAS to come back to "life" in the end and everything is happy.

Yeah, way to go.

Mary Sue. \:

And what the HELL is up with them not knowing when their best friend's real birthday is?! If they've known each other for so long, they should KNOW that.

Yeah, really. Doesn't add up.

I don't recommend this book. ]:

Anything by Stephenie Meyer, J.K. Rowling, or Dan Brown.

The Crucible by Arthur Miller.

I am terribly annoyed by the Twilight series. I read the first one just to see what all the fuss was about. The way Bella is so attached to Edward is a bit disturbing. Yes you can love someone dearly but to be so obsessed about them...doesn't really seem right in my opinion. Also, the fact that Meyers didn't research vampires beforehand is a bit of a bother. Vampires are not supposed to sparkle when in sunlight. Not being able to see daylight is the point of the trade off. Immortality is gained and never being able to see sunlight, the support of life, is lost.

Romeo And Juliet bored me to death!
I fell asleep in class every day.

magic tree house series, those books are evil!

and the goosebumps books they were just really shitty!

PUSH by Sapphire

such a shit book,there was nothing compelling about it at all.
I dont know why it got so popular,it was just gross.

all of my sophmore year i hates the books we had to read
huckleberry finn and two others that were based on racism

i loved to kill a mockingbird though

but the rest, i hated with passion

Yeah Huckleberry finn was a horrible book. The writing was horrible and i ended up just spark noting the whole book for class.
There was also this one book but i couldnt remember what its called but the main character kept bitching and being so un-aprriciative that i put down the book after 2 chapters.

I dislike most books. There's really only a few I've ever liked.

But I hate:

The Harry Potter series.
The Twilight series. WTF IS THAT SHIT?
Narnia or whatever.
Eragon and all following books.

Et cetera.

Twilight. Or anything in that series. I haven't read it but my god everyone at my school is obsessed and its obnoxious and just makes me never want to pick it up.

of mice and men! i hate that book.. i hate the ending it runined everything. gosh, john steinback is a horrible writer for endings lol

and i don't like farenheit 451.. grrr ray bradbury! lol

To kill a mocking bird, had to read it one year at school then write a paper on it. My paper was basally 3 pages of urological unlogical XD reasons why I hated.

Lord of the Flies. I don't care for the book, the movie or the character study. This beef has been going on since I was in the 8th grade. Real talk. I have a laundry list of reasons to hate that book.

I hate that book too.

Worse: Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.

Galapagos by Kurt Vonnegut

and

The Twilight series.

i'm starting to not like Twilight Series... and I am a fan. wow, i'm sucha biased person lol

i also don't like this Oedipus and Antigony thing (there are three books actually, i don't know whats the third one called, i forgot). Greek Mythology on those 3 books suck ):

Your paper talked about piss, then?

^ That's pretty much what my grade on the paper said.

It isn't quite a book, but Hamlet was atrocious. My whole final was based on that, and for the essay portion I wrote about how awful it was and how he should have died in act 1. I love writing papers on why I hate things. It's always so much fun.


Pretty much all of the books I had to read for AP English I despised. Fahrenheit 451, The Scarlett Letter, La Morte De Arthur (The Death of King Arthur), Huck Finn, The Great Gatsby, The Crucible, A Separate Peace. Yeah. AWFUL books right there. Some of them wouldn't have been that bad if I hadn't had to do all those analyze the mood, tone, syntax, blah blah blah. That's how you zap the fun out of a book right there man.

Lord of the Flies wasn't as bad as those. It was tolerable. Thankfully, my teacher didn't really like that book either so there wasn't a whole bunch of in depth stuff for it.

Pretty much every book I've been forced to read in english class. Romeo & Juliet wasn't that bad. Neither was To Kill a Mockingbird, or The Giver.

"The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" "Raisen in the Sun"
hated it with complete passion! there was another but i dont remember it
i had to read them for english
i read the spark notes so i would do fine on the tests

The Great Gatsby can be good, if you have a good teacher who is willing to elaborate. I'd say pretty much anything we read in middle school, because that was when we had to read lame books about acceptance and kindness.

I swear every book we read last year was about racism, except for Romeo & Juliet and Anthem.
