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.
Altas Shrugged: Ayn Rand just can’t shut up about her ideas even if they get in the way of plot characters, or reader enjoyment. Also, that chapter when we get preached to for four hours straight!
Sure you knew going in that it was more a manifesto than a novel?
I read one page and skipped to the end of the chapter. 72 pages worth of “Socialism bad, capitalism God”
