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. :/
