To stray from the 'Lawl Fifty Shades of Gray! Twilight! XDDD!" response I have to say Nothing by Janne Teller basically it's about a literal 12-13 year old kid who has an existensial crisis and climbs up a tree and never comes down? so the kids give up offerings to show him life has meaning and they get really disturbing like a KID'S ACTUAL FINGER, a girl's virginity (taken by ****, and there was a lot of 'she sold herself1!1!1 she'll never be pure1!!11!1' comments afterwards), a dog that they kill, and some girl's baby brother's dead body. Meanwhile, nobody's parents care that this kid isn't coming down from the tree? and then they finally do find out what the kids do and they all get grounded by the news finds out about them and it sweeps wordwide and they get like millions of dollars for 'their pile of meaning' and get rich and famous except one day it just Burns Down and the tree kid finally comes down to laugh at their expense and like all of the kids go crazy and murder him it was an... experience. edit: it was also written weirdly bc it was a dutch (i think) translation to English so like all of the sentences are weird and choppy. also, while some kids have to give up their fingers n dead baby brothers other kids only had to give up... their bikes? and sandals? like how is that fair? this is.... probably the strangest concept ive ever read

A Separate Peace. Literally the most boring book I've ever read in my life.

Zodiac by Romina Russell it's so sad because it had such a great premise and such good potential but it just went downhill and it wasn't very good

Anything by John Green is trash The Mortal Instruments is trash Divergent is trash The Maximum Ride series is trash I can't really enjoy YA literature anymore.
But for a less typical answer, I hate One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. I actually dropped if halfway through.

any book centered around romance like fr i want to read about awesome mythical creatures and badass dragons and heroes, not about another typical white heterosexual couple. like if theres a romantic subplot, thats okay as long as the book isnt focused on it I can honestly agree with this, though I suppose it's more of a preference of genres. I can take a romantic subplot, but pure romance bores me. I can see how some people can enjoy it, though, so I would hardly call it a bad genre. Just not for me. Really, anything just depends on how well it's written. Which brings me to another book I forgot about- The High Druid's Blade by Terry Brooks. I love fantasy, don't get me wrong, but that's what made it all the more disappointing to me. It was okay, but it felt kind of rushed and, honestly, I don't think the writing style fit the genre. I'd say more, but this is getting a little long-winded anyway.

The first days (As the world dies). It's both the worst zombie book and the worst book I've ever read.

I had to read it for one of my English classes and my god, it was awful. I couldn't even get through the entire book.
