Quite honestly I can’t stand only a few books that I’ve read, recently The Awakening by Nora Roberts.
Holy crap, do I reallllyyyyy want my money back. I was bored. So. Bored. The magic system was subpar, the characters just….ew, everything was so, so boring. The MC is an idiot.
What book is a zero star read for you?
Apparently this is extremely popular, but The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho.
Also maybe The Book of Leeds: A City in Short Fiction which is an anthology featuring several authors from Leeds. This book was okay, except I had bought it specifically to read an author I had enjoyed in the past, only to find that his “short stories” were just excerpts from books that I had already read. I wouldn’t have bought it otherwise, so while the writing was fine, I’d give it a low rating for lack of transparency. :/
Lmao someone up the thread said they were afraid to read Meon Kampf for fear they’d hate it less than The Alchemist, which is possibly the funniest and most offensive worst review of a book I’ve ever read.
LMAO oh no.
The Alchemist would have been an alright fairy tale if that’s all it was. But as a self-help book it’s pretty tone deaf and at times condescending.
