Worst book ever written

missfran: Yes, that is truly awful writing... but I really, really want to read the whole book now! :D (link...PM?)

Bad writing can be entertaining, if you're in the right mood... :cool:
 
I'm afraid that willing as I am to publically laugh at her terrible writing, I won't go so far as to send her entire manuscript to a stranger. Sorry Maya, I'm just not that cruel (to her or you).

I understand- But I wouldn't exploit it or use it, just love it :D :(
(Yes, I do love pulp/hack writing)

(Let me know if you change your mind, though! :cool: I'd treasure it, always. :))
 
The best fantasy, of course, is Robin Hobb's.

By a country mile IMHO...

The first three are brilliant. The second three less so. The third three are quite good.

The Solider Son trilogy is awful, though.

I really liked the Liveship trilogy, the giveaway right at the end that ***** is actually ******* was brilliant. (starred so as not to spoil it for anyone that hasn't read it yet)


I didn't get into the Solider Son trilogy at first, but about a third of the way into book 2 I was hooked.

Robin Hobb ftw :cool:
 
Starship Titanic.

They ran to the door.
The door needed a key.
They looked for a key.
They found a key.
They ran to the door.
They opened the door with a key.
They were now standing in a hall and could go down one of two corridors.
Which corridor?
They went down the left corridor.
 
Chris, it is a terrible book - possibly only taken seriously because of the academic standing of its author. It is too early (relatively speaking) to regard it as having any status as a classic book, and it is one of a select few books that I have thrown across a room in disgust.

balls, it's the first serious attempt to write fantastic fiction outside of a christian context. The writing is intricate and yes, laboured and overdone frequently. Tolkiens imitators are legion, and that is a baaad thing cause the imitators imitate a seriously flawed work. Feudalism-lite is so very twee.
 
Oh yes. The author was a big fan.

Is that, perchance, a reference to Prince Rupert of the Rhine, superb cavalry commander and possibly the luckiest royalist fop of English Civil war period?
 
He had a toy poodle y'know, his reputation was such that the parliament forces thought it had special powers...
