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.

    Men Who Hate Women by Laura Bates.

    I expected some insight into incels and pick-up weirdos, but this book is absolutely not intended to share facts in any way. There is no scholarship or research whatsoever – the book is literally a long blog post about all the guys that pissed her off on the internet when she was pretending to be a toxic woman-hater.

    She presents no evidence that isn’t unprovable anecdote. No studies were used. No screenshots were offered. The author has no training or background is psychology (or research?) . I genuinely can’t believe this was allowed to be published.
