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?

    Shantaram! I’m just mad I didn’t realize it was a shit book until I was almost done with it. By the time I finished the book I had completed grown to resent the author/narrator (it’s semi autobiographical) for his overly dramatic prose. No real ending to speak of either, although apparently that’s because there’s a second book? No way I’m reading that though

      Oh god. It was awful. I also slogged through it until the end as I’d invested time reading so much of it.

      I was recommended it by several people I’d trust to recommend a good book- who had finished it…I was so confused.
