Worst book you ever read?

[Razgovory]

I actually liked Whitman.  He also looked like Gandalf.

Last World War by... some dude.

Worst alien invasion book ever.
It was clearly written acomodating future movie deals.
Aliens look like humans, instead of spaceships they have teleportals, alien planet in ruins, half the books happens in the woods with first contact between a reserve marine unit doing their yearly training and an alien scout team out of the teleport.

The thread lacks Dan Brown hate. The one about computer hacking was rather inept.

I've never read any Dan Brown books.  The idea that CERN could produce enough antimatter to make a bomb without using the GDP of Europe to do it was enough to keep me away.

I enjoyed Red Storm Rising for what it was.

The keyboard overlay was a charming reminder of a gaming era now long past.

People kept badgering me to read the first one (Angels & Demons?), which had some statement saying all places and works of art described were based on fact or something along those lines.
About ten pages in there were enough errors to safely put the book out of its misery. Apart from being wrong all the time, he's a pretty inept writer, too.

First place, however, goes to Erich von Daniken. Read one of his books when I was a kid, never heard of him and didn't know any better.
It destroyed my belief that books were wise per se.

I just saw him on some incredibly lame program tonight.

The Da Vinci Code.

No first one is A&D.

I read The Da Vinci Code. It was alright, I could see it in an overrated books thread but not a worst books thread. It wasn't good enough to make me seek out another.

The worst book I read must've been Twilight. Someone female recommended it to me before the movie hype knowing I like vampire stories. Hundreds of pages describing how good looking that main guy is. I sat it through waiting for a story to begin, only there was none but for the last 50 or so pages.
Another really bad vampire story (based on the WoD stuff) was Eternal Hearts. At least that one had pornogoric elements.

The movies, particularly the first, are pretty hilarious.
