harry potter is hideously written. Sure it's entertaining, but only in the same way Die Hard 4 is kinda entertaining on a friday night when you've got nothing better to do.

Seriously Rowling can't write for shit.

Stephen King doesn't just "suck", he is so bad as to be unreadable, and only faggots and morons enjoy reading his bullshit books

I hate the Bible. It's long and fucking boring as shit.

I hate Vonnegut. His writing style is stupid and he doesn't really have much to say about anything.

The object of this thread was to give 'opinions NOT shared by the mainstream'. No one reads the Bible and thinks it's exciting.

i didn't say it was "crap", and i acknowledged an entertainment value for people who don't like to think too hard and/or who don't need a well written book.

1. frequent deus ex machina
2. obviously written by a woman who couldn't contain her feminine perspective and project people and the world normally
3. terrible character psychology, and by terrible, i mean Are-You-Fucking-Kidding-Me? bad
4. systematic misunderstanding of realistic psychology and sociology in general. The kind of dumbassery a highschool teacher has who believes that "bullying" (lol) can be "solved" by "educating" the students and by having "bullied" students come and see the teacher.
5. frequently, hideously unrealistically hopeful. Ie: the main characters can't die "just because", and so hopeless situations are resolved ridiculously. Hurr durr surrounded by a million giant spiders right in the nest and get out by basically punching them all and "somehow" escaping. Give me a break.

that's all i care to type out for now, there's probably a lot more.

harry potter was poorly written. I started the first book before i was ten and quit a few chapters in because of it.

just finished ender's game; good book, but gay. so very gay. i don't mind gay, but it was little boys. i guess catholics <i>and</i> mormons can now be pedophiles.

ulysses is hard to follow not because of joyce's genius, but rather poor writing. why the fuck would anyone make an entire book stream of consciousness? not only does it make poor me have to reread every fifth paragraph with the occasional "wtf, i need to reread this page. this cant just be gibberish" (i just turned 18 and read it a year or two ago. fuck off, i can have issues understanding it) but it makes the use of stream of consciousness within the novel less affecting and turns it into a stylistic choice-a pretentious/bad stylistic choice.

most books have some annoying writing habit, or some annoying poorly thought out flaw that ruins it for me, usually a huge mass of flaws

i mean i can look past that, but nevertheless what i said is still an unpopular opinion.

Only the first one and i rather liked it. Sure, it had a lot of cliches, but I found the premise interesting enough to enjoy it. So i figured, most of the hate must come from her writing style. That's why I want to read a passage.
