What book have you read that wasn’t subjectively “bad” but you regrets reading all the same?
For me, Pretty Girls by Karin Slaughter. The book was engaging and it kept me on my toes, but I just with I hadn’t “poisoned my head” with all the graphic gore that was in there. I years later i still think about this and how I really wish I had never read it.
Question inspired by a comment /u/PrincessOfWales made in another thread :)
The Lovely Bones
Good lord this was slow and kinda dull for me, I got halfway through at which point I decided I’ve had enough - might watch the movie instead.
This one has stayed in my head for 20 years and not in a good way
There’s a particular disturbing scene that played over and over in my young mind that I wish I could have erased. I hated that I couldn’t stop finding about it.
The beginning of that book deeply disturbed me.
I remember silently weeping in the movie theatre as a young kid. Good times
Every chapter felt like the emotional equivalent of getting shot.
