Grack21 Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 I'll add the Gates of Rome by Conn Iggulden. First time in 20 years I put a book down without finishing it. Absolutely atrocious. It comes across as something an eighth grader would have written for extra credit. It boggles my mind how it got published in the first place.

MinDonner Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 The fantasy books written by females. Sorry gals, it just doesn't do it for me.*gives Ski a smack*I have three whole threads dedicated to this topic. But I'd probably pick Lankar of Callisto as the most excruciating of the bunch.Not even counting books that I tried to read and just couldn't. Though an honourable mention needs to go to Left Behind.

Ski the Swift Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 *gives Ski a smack*Hey, hey. It's unfortunate that the handful of female fantasy authors I've read were all terrible, it has scarred me for life. Scarred me in much the same way reading Erikson and Goodkind have. I will also never read those again, so much was my soul shat upon when I read their books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datepalm Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Not even counting books that I tried to read and just couldn't. Though an honourable mention needs to go to Left Behind.I haven't actually read left behind, but the evisceration of it over on slacktivist is so entertaining and interesting I have something of a positive pavlovian response to them. I'll say what I always say in these thread (and will keep saying until I read a worse book, WHIHC WILL NEVER HAPPEN):Runelords, by David Farlandis The Worst Book Ever WrittenMany Quite Bad Elements Create Far More Than Their Sum!Come see the two headed wonder...actually, no. Don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't. You know, I've always seen his stuff in Borders. It sounded alright but they never had the first book, so alas I do not own it. Thank you very much for putting it off my 'To read' list. :bowdown: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
