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?
Any books by this author annoy the shit out of me. There’s enough of a narrative and story to keep going - for better or worse there is a drive to find out what happens to the characters. But I just get so annoyed that such bad writing and story-telling has been rewarded with one of the most successful book series of our time.
If I was reading dodgy fanfic (as was originally intended) I wouldn’t care.
Having said that, there are some people I know that these are the only books they’ve read the whole way through since school. I’m sure that nets out positive somewhere!
These books will be made fun of by the descendants of the books’ readers. People will titter over how quaintly and how absurdly their great grandmothers got rid of their reading itch.
