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.
I purchased an audio version of War and Peace. It was read by a female and completely lost interest. I tried and tried and got about 3 hours in and returned it. Mainly I think it was the narrator but the story didn’t seem to have a beginning.
The characters had no substance. I didn’t know where they came from or their past. Perhaps if the names were translated into an English equivalent but that wouldn’t work. Anyway it probably just me. A modern epic TV series might change my mind.
