Oh, I loved that book. And I was completely amazed that it was written by a thirteen year old.

I thought Lionboy was alright...it certainly wasn't the best, but I enjoyed it enough. It was just, you know, one of those side books that you read when you're really bored....

I also didn't like Shadowmancer and GP Taylor's other book . . . Wormwood? They were so boring and I didn't like the characters or care about them and the description was really dull.

Goosebumps . . . Now those books did my head in. They were so . . . Unscary, predictable and just stupid.

What? Lord of the Flies is AMAZING!

The worst books ever are:
-The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald- a boring narrative with unrealistic characters. Also, in one scene Gatsby wears a "white plaid suit". White plaid!?
-The Stand by Stephen King- at 1,141 pages (I read the whole thing!) and some graphic (not violent, the other graphic) scenes it was a chore to read
-Jacob Have I Loved- A girl whines about her life for 200 pages

Ewww, I hate Lord of the Flies!
It is the most awful book ever.

Lord of the Flies is quite good, but To Kill a Mockingbird is boring.

Our teacher went over the symbolosim in it. Like for example when the boys are killing and torturing the sow, it has been studied and argued that the boys were raping the pig. Go back and read those passages. It would make sense too...

Though i huge fan of HP, one for my least favourite books in HP and the Half Blood Prince

I wouldnt say that it was bad, just very very disapointing

To Kill a Mockingbird is pretty heavy on the symbolism and themes, but despite this, it's boring and I can't stand reading it. I was forced to do it for Literature though, but the book was so bad I couldn't even be forced to go over it. Good thing for sparknotes.com...I didn't read the book, but still passed.

Come on, people, Lord of the Flies is classic! I liked it

Twilight was uninteresting. It was actually quite boring, so I read only the first one.

And Lord of the Rings... well. I know it's classic, too, but it's also awfully dull. I managed through the first book and halfway through the second one. That was it.

The worst book I've ever read was So You Want to be a Wizard by Diane Duane. It was booooriiiing. I forced myself to finish it, because I told myself I had to do it for the people who'd given it to me for Christmas. It was basically "Yay, only 115 more pages to go!".

And, well, Molly Moon books are quite stupid, as well. I just don't like Georgia Byng's style of writing.

Now I got it. The Sweet Valley High books. Do I even have to tell you why?

Wow. I think time will change a lot of your minds. The great gatsby was one of my favorite books--its actually VERY realistic, exactly how the 20s were.

I hate Nathianiel Hawthorne. His writing is so archaic and flavorless. I also can't stand many russian books because they're so long and pointless.

And Lord of the Rings... well. I know it's classic, too, but it's also awfully dull. I managed through the first book and halfway through the second one. That was it.

How dare you. The Lord of the Rings is beauty-full. I mean, the descriptions are breath-taking and the fighting scenes, well, they are just incredible. That's my opinion.

My least favourite book? Well, ye, aside from Brisingr... I don't know. I tend not to read books that look horrible.

It's amazing how subjective books are. I've seen some of my favorites listed under the HATE HATE HATE column.

I really didn't like "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings." Which might make me politically incorrect, but I don't care. I'm not a fan.

Oh! And the Canterbury Tales. Ick.

Bloomability. I tried to read this book like five times but I never got to the end.

Has anyone here read Across Five Aprils? It's horrible.
