Ok for in class my most hated book was for my collage english class and we had to read "The Heart of Darkness" not even sure who by...our teacher told us it's supposed to be your interpretation of the righters interpretation on the main characters interpretation of another guys life...and we cant even fully understand it, also the language is that of a child in many parts such as the climax, ok to set it up for you they are stuck on a river at night, the people native to the area are in the bushes, arrows are flying from the bushes to kill of the people on the steam boat, and the people on the boat are blasting bullets into the bush, blood everywhere...now the type of phrases he uses are "the little sticks were whizzing through the air" and "the guns squirted led into the bush" it was such a hard read i didn't get through half the book myself and i was crying from the migraines it was giving me trying to read it...

Oh i do have another
This book though was my choice making it a bit worse, i work at a book store so i see new once come in all the time and i am a "read the book by the cover" kind of person, so the book in question is "Swoon" the description sounds ok, i read very little of the inside still sounding ok, with my discount i decided why not and it all when down hill from there. The book doesn't have a plot till maybe the last 5-3 chapters, its mainly about the ghosts who makes kids horny and fool around causing chaos in the town and at the end all of a sudden he's like "oh im here for revenge" he then gets it and the next morning poof he's gone...
not worth the money i spent even with the discount...i don't put a book away till i finish it normally but this one i was wanting to throw away since the first few chapters...
sorry to anyone who did like the two books i talked about, they were just really really wrong for me
