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.
ready player one - i could write a thesis with all the things i hated about it
I’d read that list lol couldn’t make it past the first chapter…
Ready player one is like that Chris Farley sketch where he would interview guests and just be like “hey remember that time you were in die hard? Yeah that was awesome”
I was hoping someone would post this.
What a terrible book. Literally every event is solved with a random, never-before-seen asspull and the whole idea that a 17 year old has had the time to study a decade’s worth of content - all of the content - multiple times to have full memory of it is so stupid it broke all suspension of disbelief. At the very least they could have given everyone memory modules or something.
The movie is so much better that it’s not even worth the time to read the book.
To this day, I have no idea how or why I finished that book. It’s gotta be the worst book I’ve ever actually completed. I thought the movie was not bad by comparison.
