What was the story you most hated reading in school. At this point and time, for me, it's FRANKENSTEIN! Blah...give me the damn video and call it a day!

I don't remember the author, but the book was called Kiss The Dust.
We read it in 7th grade.
Ugh.
It was so boring.

suffice it to say the book which has cause the reader the most stress due to the undue verbose-ness of the syntax is simply great expectations by the author charles dickens, in which there are entire paragraphs that merely consist of simply a single sentence as both the opening, the body, and the conclusion of that paragraph.

BLEH.

Wow, you are one of the only people that has ever agreed with me about that book.

In my opinion, it's not just Huckleberry Finn though, I dont really like Mark Twain. When I tell people that, they look at me like I killed him or something. x_X whatever. biggrin.gif

i had to do a sort of survey thing like this in grade 8 (don't ask) and the most popular ones were
-The giver
-Catcher in the Rye
-To kill a mocking bird
Notice how the above two are very controversial.

Mhmm...i liked most of the books we read...except this one..where the dad kills his son to keep his reputation or somethan...ah i forgot the books name, i really didn't like it. And a Seperate Peace...it was ok, but we studied it for about 3 months..lol and the whole time the class thought Finny was gay...which i can understand why they thought that. Mr. N's quote of the year was, "and no! finny's not gay" ...ah don't know why that came into mind. lol

i think that how much you like a book greatly depends upon how your teacher teaches it.

Yeah..lol Julius Caesar omg.

"Et tu Brute?"

I mean CMON..expected a long dramatic monologue where he curses Rome and asks God what he did wrong and that he loved Brutus so much and all he wanted to do was become a king and help Rome but instead he's dying and..

:sighs:

It was really boring.

OMG I hate that book! I've read it independently for 7th grade, but we're getting ready to read it as a class in the next few weeks. I dread it. But so far I really hated this book in sixth grade.. I can't remember the little. It had a french author and it was about a boy who went to different planets or something. We watched the movie too. Man I hated that book

Definitely Heart of Darkness. That book is truly the most boring book I have ever read in my entire life. It put me to sleep many times, and I usually enjoy most of the books I read.

I have already watched the video 2 times. Read so many "modified" short versions of it. And heard the story a million times.

i hate that book too, ugh there were too many metaphors, when i read a book i'd like a story, not some deep meaning crap...

their eyes were watching god i hate that book too, sure it's nice that the author wanted us to get a feel of the way people talked but come on, it was hard enough to figure out the metaphors in that, i couldn't understand the dialect.

woman warrior by: maxine hong kingston, that book sucks, i HATE it so much more than the other 2 above. it's so stupid, i can barely tell what's in the story and what's in her imagination, i HATE it _dry.gif only the beginning was interesting, the rest put me to sleep
