What, in your opinion, is the best book that you haven’t liked? Mind you, I don’t mean your most-hated book–oh, no. I mean the most accomplished, skilled, well-written, impressive book that you just simply didn’t like.

Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel Garcia Marquez


I was so excited to read Love in the Time of Cholera, and was sadly dissappointed. This was a story about unrequited love. It is about a man who loves and loses a woman, then goes on to sleep with hundreds of women, including a 13 year old girl, whom he is a guardian to. If that's not bad enough his bowel movements are a big part of his character and as you read, you're getting too much information on that.
I was actually angry while reading this book, and I must admit while the writing was very good and beautiful at times, the storyline and characters were not. This was my first and last time reading Gabriel García Márquez.

Okay, don't be angry with me....but Duma Key by Stephen King. There I said it!

I love Uncle Steve, don't get me wrong, but this book was waaaay toooo looooong. It took me nearly a month to finish it, it wasn't scary enough and I kept waiting for the 'good part'. Which sadly, never came. But it was really well written, and I always like the way King 'gets inside your head' as you read one of his books.
