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 :)

      response in support, although personally I didn’t think it was well-written enough to qualify for this thread😉

      One of the few books I DNF. Glad to see the movie because it gave me the chance to find out what all the hype had been about.

      That was a hate read for me. I only kept reading because I was hoping both of them would die at some point. Lol

        That was the only reason I stayed to the end! I really wanted horrible things to happen to them.
