I wouldn't say it stunk, but was definitely not all it was hyped up to me - The DaVinci Code.

The Rule of Four...it was similar to the DaVinci Code. It was very boring in some parts.

'Left Behind'. I started reading book one of the series, but the writing was so horrible that I just couldn't continue. Too bad, because the story sounds so interesting.

Patricia Cornwell's last two books of the Scarpetta series. You can tell they are just filler to fullfil a contract.

The Bridges of Madison County. I never saw the movie because I couldn't get beyond 10 pages in the book.

I am sure I am dating myself, but I would say the Bonfire of the Vanities. It was so awful.

I did not like Bridges of Madison county OR Girl's guide to hunting and fishing either!

'Night Fall' by Nelson Demille - couldn't get past page 100.

The Devil Wears Prada!!! I couldn't even force myself to make it through the book I thought it was so bad.

Re: Books that were hyped up then stunk

I was just about to post this.

Another oldie: One Hundred Years of Solitude. It took me close to a hundred years to make it to page 100...

I don't agree about Hitchiker's Guide or Catch-22 - both those books made me laugh out loud!
