SOME OF THE WORST BOOKS OF HISTORY (doesn't include textbooks)
This is NOT...
This is NOT A WARRIORS THREAD! (no offense) I just thought that with all the Warriors threads, the front page needed something, newer, fresher. No offense to anyone. It's just that it was getting a little annoying. I am here to discuss, SOME OF THE WORST BOOKS OF HISTORY (no offense to any of the authors, which I doubt go on the site). With that said, here are some of my least favourite books:
1) Warriors series. Sorry! EHunters are great writers, but the names were SO CONFUSING! I had to keep going to the front to find out who was being referred to. I gave up quarter way into the book.
2) Spy Force, mission: Hollywood. I thought this series would be interesting, given the name, (I guess) something with hard-core action. But it turned out to be a) really unrealistic with the "Time and Space Machine" and stuff like that. b) very un-action-filled, I prefer action and stuff like that. I think this would appeal to nine year olds and down though.
3) The Scooby Doo books my bro has. They are so badly-written (the plot's okay, it's just the way the author writes it down and stuff). I could have written them. By the way, they're the Reader 2 stuff or something like that. Not novels. I'm not sure if they even have Scooby Doo novels.
4) Tangerine. Didn't make much sense. Talked about soccer a lot. Some people might like it. I didn't. Very bad a soccer-stuff.
Laterz!
P.S. This probably won't get posted, I just felt like speaking my mind.

Oh, and not all textbooks are horrible! I have a really good one, actually... Well, I don't 'have' it, but I've read part of it, anyway.
SPB: Eekz!

I know a book with no plot! It's on the tip of my tongue. Oh wait... It's Avatar. (a movie)

Is that a good thing? ;-)

Yes! Finally! Somebody else who's read Tangerine and agrees with me about it! I had to read it over the summer for school and I hated it. It seemed very disjointed and yes, talked about soccer too much. I also didn't like the main character. Let's see - other awful books. Well, the Power Puff girl books (no, that's not what I read in my spare time) and...oh...what's that one? The "survival" story that has something to do with a mountain? I can't think of the name right now. It was insanely boring and so unrealistic I stopped within the first few chapters. I couldn't make myself read any farther.

My Side Of The Mountain? I enjoyed that, actually...
(February 26, 2010 - 8:09 pm)
I think that mountain book might be Everest by Gordon Korman. I haven't read it, but I read some of his other series Dive and the Kidnapped series. The first, not so good, the second, was GREAT. I just didn't like it because it left me in suspense and I had trouble finding the next book. Laterz!

The only book I've read by Gordon Korman is the Fugitive series. SOOOO good! :)

The only Gordon Korman books I liked were the MacDonald Hall ones. Immature, but funny.

No, something else...My Side of the Mountain? Maybe. The boy had a falcon.

The Kidnapped series branched off from the Fugitive series. New book that I didn't like. Mouse and the Motorcycle. My class had to read it in grade four. My teacher was a "down to earth" one so she chose that. The movie was just as bad. Laterz!

@Allison: Yes, My Side of the Mountain is definitely what you are talking about. And I happened to like it. I like stories like that where the kid runs off and lives in the wilderness. And the stuff that happened in the wild (well, at least the parts about all the wild plants he ate) wasn't unrealistic! As a matter of fact, I didn't think any of it was unrealistic. Jean Craighead George is actually very realistic.
OK. I'll stop ranting now.
@Bobfrid/Bobfred: I read The Mouse and The Motorcycle. Kind of babyish, but I thought it was cute. Movies are always worse than the books. They just are.
Andy says gyrx.
