Things Fall Apart- the WORST book ive ever read, but english/history teachers seem to think is genious. summed up its about people w/names too long to remember, and yams.

YES! HORRIBLE BOOK! I had to read it in 10th grade...it was painful...worst thing ever

Les Miserables. I had to read it for english last year, but i seen the musical and I loved it!

Katherine · 11-18-2004, 05:16 PM

^^^ I can't read the book...it's too long and though it is a good if not great story [I am obsessed with the musical]...the book drags and it feels as if it lacks direction.

Another book I've tried to read a few times but can't get my head around it is "A tale of two cities" by Charles Dickens...I adore his plot ideas...but to read his books, I just can't do it.

SeasideSweetie3 · 11-18-2004, 05:20 PM

I know what you mean, the plot lines of A Tale of Two Cities and Great Expectations were really cool. But his sentences just drag on forever and it's tiresome to read.

yes, I agree. when I had to read it for an english class and they gave us versions of the book, where they cut out a lot. Even though a lot of things were cut out the story just dragged on forever and ever. The only part of the whole book that interested me was the romance between Cosette and Maruis (sp?).

Katherine · 11-18-2004, 07:08 PM

In the book does it have the relationship between Marius and Eponee as in the musical? Coz I'd be interested in learning more about that...if there was more to learn....

Yep Charles Dickens sentences do droll on...and it's a shame coz I'm sure they are a good read but I can't get my head around it...but who knows...maybe in a few years I might be able to...like what happened with Jane Austen's novels.

OMG by far the most boring book I've ever read (and actually didn't finish) was the LOTR. I read the first one and half of the second. But when I read the second half of that second book I was just like woa that's boring, and I stopped right there

No offense cause the movies rock

Katherine · 11-26-2004, 09:03 PM

I know...I love the movies and thought that I'd love the books too...but alas that wasn't the case for me...believe me I tried my best to get through them...but it was just too hard for me...

Nickety · 11-28-2004, 10:00 PM

Wow. I actually love LOTR and 1984 and Shakespeare and a ton of others mentioned in here. I'm a little weird, I guess.

Though I can't stand any of the Princess Diaries novels (I sorta liked the third one, though). I'm sorry, but they're just way too ... blah. I'm not sure what it is, but they were certainly a form of torture.

andyninadestiny · 02-02-2005, 07:13 PM

^^^^^ I love Princess Diaries
I can't stand 1984, though.
I also am a huge Shakespeare fan. I've memorized large chunks of various plays.
As for more books I hate- we have done a few more novels in lit since then, so, I'm adding Great Expectations and The Pearl (not Romeo and Juliet, though. That was awsome. I memorized the prolouge in my spare time--alright, math class, same thing)
~~Tally~~
