I personally can't decide between Arto f Keeping Cool or Prophecy of the Stones. I read AKC a while ago and can scarcely remember it...but every time I think about it, I get a pain in my stomach and I nearly cry. It was so boring. So mind numbingly boring. It was assigned in my ELA class one year, and we barely got up to pae 50 before my teacher said "...Does anyone here want to read this? No? Good." and she told us she'd find another book for us to read.
PotS was painfully bad....badly written, lost in translation and cliched. The only way it could've been worse is if it were longer.

Every time someone asks me what the worst book ever was, I always say the same thing. Because this book was SO BAD. I just wish I could remember the title. It had a picture of a clown on the cover, looked like a alternate reality (on the cover).
It was so horrible. You think it's a book for like an eleven year old until the end, where some preteens end up naked (SOMEHOW!) in the alternate universe and sleep together. It was just so awful. Awfully awful awful. There are no words to describe.

It was a mexican novel, we were forced to read in junior high. It's called something like "The force of Shcezcid" I probably misspelled Sheczcid... I was about this guy in love with a girl but he never got to meet her, he only had an impression of her. Then in the end the guy, after realizing that the girl was a magee, he "writes" a fake ending for the story in which the girl died or something like that.
Oh, and also the lord of the rings. I respect whomever likes these books, but for me they are very boring.

*gasp* Lord of the Flies is decent! I can't recall ever reading any really appalling books. But then again, I have both read a lot of books and a really poor memory.

Trouble River, I remember we had to read it in 5th grade, it was so boring! I wish that indian would've killed the granny and that kid and his dog should've either been killed by the idian, the wolves, or drowned. Would've added some excitment if they did. And Julie of the Wolves wasn't wonderful either. Wouldn't've read it if it wasn't for school, everybody had to read it. At lest the book we read after that (The Westing Game) was good and actually turned out to be one of my favorite books. And I know I have more but I don't remember.

I liked the Wesing Game.
I also hated "On My Honer." God, just confess that your dare got a kid who was harrasing you dead. he was so stupid, as was that plot.
