The Crying of Lot 49 - I'm seriously not a fan of Thomas Pinchon.

Steve Hadden, I think - I loved that book - but I work with people with autism - so i totally understood it - i was surprised how many peolpe unfamiliar with autism still liked the book, but I can see why it didn't really pull you in...

I HATED the book Wicked - never saw the show or anything - but read Wicked for a book club, otherwise I would have stopped - I still couldn't get to the end of it!

I hated Wicked, too. I love the musical, though. They're completely different. There was not one thing I liked about the book, but everyone I know who read it RAVED about it. I'm so glad I'm not alone.

Re: Worst Book

I read Wicked. I thought it was okay...Didn't love it but didn't hate it. Saw the play on Broadway and thought it was much better than the book. I am not one for liking the plays/movies more than the books......

I think it's because the play is nothing like the book. I mean really they have the same names as the characters in the book, but the entire plot is different and they cut out all of the boring crap.

same with me, liked it, not loved it. I couldn't get through the sequel though (son of a witch).
I haven't seen the play yet.

Re: Worst Book

I read Wicked also. I didn't hate it, but I didn't really like it. I too had to read it for a book club also. It was painful to finish. It was actually the book that inflicted death on our book club.

I saw the play. I liked it and I thought the set was great (I love that theater), but it wasn't one of my favorites.

Re: Worst Book

Hannibal was awful - so was the movie.

I tried reading Memoirs of Geisha about 3 times a few years ago - I could never get past the first 50 pages - soooooooo boring.
