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 :)

    Suffer the Children - John Saul. I read it in junior high, and the part with the dead cat was just…extremely troubling.

      This is mine as well! I was also around that age when I read it too. Not my best choice…
