It’s a question inspired by this post https://www.reddit.com/r/books/s/s2jK2DzFrA by u/oh_sneezeus
Is there any book that is considered a classic or regularly shows up on the “100 books to read before you die” lists and such, you had high expectations before reading and then you ended up absolutey detesting?
For me it’s Blindness by José Saramago, it started off good and then page after page it was becoming more unbearable for me to read, I hated the characters, the things they were doing and the conclusions of the book. I was really disappointed because the plot seemed really good and all I ended up with was frustration.
Is there a book that did the same to you?
The diary of Anne Frank. It’s not so much a book about the holocaust as much as it’s a diary written by an angsty teen girl that is in a small space with other people. You could get the same bullshit from any girl around that age who is in an enclosed space with friends and family.
War of the world’s by HG wells. It’s just shit. Enough said
