I have two. The Ritual and Drowning.

The Ritual is pure smut. 61 chapters and every one contains a graphic, demeaning sex scene. I’m convinced the author was an adult film screenwriter and decided to try their hand at writing a novel. There isn’t a single likable character in this book.

Drowning isn’t a great work of literature. I felt that the characters were very two-dimensional. I hated how naive the author made the protagonist. It made me have a lack of sympathy for her. The ending was series finale of Dexter bad.

    My 2 worst books were probably 1: A Little Life, I mean what can I say that hasn’t been said about this book. Absolute garbage. 2: Project Hail Mary, I can’t understand for the life of me why this book got such good reviews. The writing is awful, reads like a YA novel. I guess this one wasn’t horrible but this is a book written for 12-13 year olds being advertised as a masterpiece of science fiction.

      Also was utterly unimpressed with PHM. It reads like it’s a movie. At friend of mine described it as “competence-porn”. I can totally get how someone could like it but it just wasn’t what I look for in my sci-fi
