"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.

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. laugh.gif

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

Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn.

I wanted to blow my brains out.

OH, and Hatchet, by Gary Paulsen. We had to read it in 4th grade AND 6th grade. horrific. wanted to die.


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

The Scarlet Letter . I can't stand Nathaniel Hawthorne. Even that short story "Young Goodman Brown"... Maybe it wasn't so bad. Maybe I just hate him because my junior year english teacher made us analyze him to death.

Completely agreed. Reading the Scarlet Letter was completely terrible.

I'm actually going to have to agree with someone in this thread. laugh.gif 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. ]:

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.

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.
