Terrible book gets good reviews!

[tramsosmai]

Those of you that like reading- do you also like stabbing your eyes out? Because a while back, I stumbled upon the WORST BOOK EVER WRITTEN. I honestly wish I could say that that was an exageration, but I can't. It's books like this that make me wonder why I'm not published yet. Let's look at it IN DEPTH!

I always thought John Steinbeck's "The Pearl" was the worst book ever, but this one may have it trumped. At least Steinbeck also wrote Of Mice and Men, which I thought was reasonably okay. My second-worst book in the world award goes to Hard Times, by Dickens. Had to read it for an industrial revolution book report in about grade 7. Quite the downer. But yours just sounds like it is crap, and its badness might seep into the other book it makes when it is recycled.

Dickens, at least, could write. This isn't so much writing as it is PURE UNADULTERED FAIL.

Seriously. I will lend you this book sometime, if only so that you will be able to understand the hellish terribleness of it.

...Why did you read it if you don't like it? If you like punishment as much as it seems like, I think S&M is far more tolerable then a bad book.

It's a case of disbelief, mostly. A little holy-shit-this-is-so-unbelievably-bad-HOW-DOES-IT-EXIST?

Also, I am lazy, and don't feel like taxing my brain with decent books when I ride the bus.

There are good books that don't tax the brain, such as anything written by the great Jasper Fforde.

Yes, but I own these books for some reason, and not reading such scintillating literature would be a crime and a sin, a crime and a sin that would be not be pondered by myself, because that sort of pondering leads to terrible, unforetuitous bad things, bad things that one would not desire to befall one's self, bad things that will surely soon be happening to myself, MOJO JOJO.
