OK, there are so many threads which are all about people's FAV things, but I want to dish some dirt and have a little rant fest.

So I thought, why not start a Do-Not-Fly list for books? Books that we, as readers, cannot tolerate to any degree at all. Ones we couldn't finish, couldn't help but finish because they were just that bad and ones which we feel the need to completely warn others off from.

What have you read that you feel needs to make this list?

You can rank them using this rating scheme if you want:
 
-1 star                                  I just didn't like it.
-2 stars                                How did this go so wrong?
-3 stars                               (choked sob) It was horrible...
-4 stars                              Words cannot explain how bad this book was.
-5 stars                              I want to murder this book. It has pushed me to brink of insanity.

Which novels will make the list of STP's Most Hated? What book will be crowned STP's #1 Despised Book?
Stay tuned to find out... 

Love the thread:)

Here's one:

Beautiful Beings by Kailin Gow- 4 bad stars: words cannot explain how bad this book was.

It was so bad that I actually speed-read the entire last few chapters just to get it over with. The idea behind the story was a good one, don't get me wrong, but the writing and characters made me wish I had never learned to read....

It made you wish you had never learned how to read?! Oh wow. That is some intense emotion right there. And I was looking forward to this book too, even if it is kinda down there on my TR list. Might as well just take it out of the list for good.

Will sticky this thread.

To add to the list:

Major Crush - Jennifer Echols   
-2 stars       AKA:How did this go so wrong?

The book was such a disappointment. Everyone seemed to be looking for a copy and when I finally got one, it stunk. Writing was shabby and so not worth the wait. Was a big waste of time IMO.

Darkness Becomes Her... 
I don't know anymore how many times I stopped before picking it up again... (As much as I hate a book, I always do my best to finish it - even if it takes a month. LOL)

Sorry for fans out there but I have got to give it a
-2 stars           How did this go so wrong?

Gosh, I soo wanted to love it but I just couldn't... The plot was nice but the writing really didn't do it for me.
And I was actually dissapointed with the climax build-up.. Oh, well. I'll still read the sequel. (hahaha)

Haven't read Beautiful Beings or Major Crush (yet), but thanks for the heads up.

Carrier of the Mark

-5 stars
I wish I hadn't picked it up.

I wish I hadn't picked up Carrier of the Mark at all. It's an offence to the paranormal romance genre. The whole thing lacks depth on every level - characters, plot, romance, setting... Not to mention the MC... She calls a girl "b*tch" just because she dares to walk to school with MC's secret love interest.

-4 stars                              Words cannot explain how bad this book was.
I'd have to put the Sookie Stackhouse series, George RR Martin's A Song of Fire and Ice series, the Eragon series, and anything written by Tad Williams here.
Sookie:  There's something to be said for a somewhat stupid main character. It gives the writer plenty of chances to have other characters explain things to the MC (and us). However, when your MC is so freaking stupid that she does the same things over and over again, never learning from her mistakes...that's when the writer needs to kill her off and find someone new to write about.
Martin:  Deadly dull. And just when it starts to get exciting, he starts killing off main characters. I slogged my way through the first two books and decided to look at Wikipedia to see if it got any better. Imagine my surprise when I learn the by the fourth or fifth book, he's managed to kill off every single main character except for one, who's a prick. I don't much like it when authors kill off characters, but when I went to all the effort to drag my way through his writing...*shakes her head* That I cannot abide.
Eragon:  I hate Eragon on multiple levels. There's the fact that he was this "genius author" who wrote his book when he was, what 17? 19? Yeah, a great book that takes the plot of Star Wars and sticks it in Tolkien's fantasy world, an author who has no imagination and poor descriptive abilities, one whose freaking PARENTS owned the publishing company that published him. He gets all sorts of accolades, when authors like Amelia Atwater-Rhodes (who wrote her first book at 14, was published without family connections, and has new ideas) are completely ignored.
Williams:  I've tried reading his different series on multiple occasions. What drove me crazy was his ADHD writing style. He would write a few pages from one character's perspective, rarely giving you enough information to figure out WHICH character, and then switch to another character..and another..and another. I felt like I needed to make a spreadsheet so I could write down the character's names, and what little I knew about them, just to figure out whose perspective I was reading. Entirely too frustrating!

-5 stars                              I want to murder this book. It has pushed me to brink of insanity.
The Elric Saga. Worst. Series. EVER. By the end of the sixth book, Elric manages to kill his entire family, everyone he loved, everyone he was ever friends with, everyone he met, and eventually destroys the world. And if that isn't bad enough, then his demon sword kills him and flies off. WTF?


...This is kinda cathartic. Thanks, Poprad!

*smiles wryly* There are only two people I know IRL who read as much as I do as well as the kind of books that I read: my dad and my brother. But I rarely get to sit and discuss what we've been reading. So..yeah. Thanks again! ;]

Not In Love with Kale Eddison: completely ridiculous drivel. couldn't finish. Not even worth its 99 cent cost.

I actually quite enjoyed it - yes it is far-fetched but isn't that what reading is all about? Escaping from reality for a few hours. Well, that's what reading is about for me.
Anyway, one book that I really didn't like was Immortal by Lauren Burd. I really forced myself to finish this because I rarely abandon a book. The whole story had been done before and I really wished that the author put an original spin on the subject instead of copying someone else's work.
