    I have to agree, it was required reading in my AP lit class... I had to get out of the class.

    I had to read Killer Angels for school and it was like taking sleeping pills. As soon as I opened the book I would just drift off to sleep. I guess the story was interesting but I just could not read it without literally falling asleep. I ended up renting the movie and getting a decent grade in the class anyway. :p Yay for movies!

    Twilight series... thousands of pages of how dazzling Edward is, how Bella is so clumsy and how seriously mentally ill is the writer.

    I would definitely have to say the Great Gatsby. It has a nice plot and blabla but straight up it was a terrible read

    Crime and Punishment is supposed to be interesting and thought-provoking, but I found it dull and overtly difficult to follow.

    'Moromeții' is a Romanian novel I had to read for school. It was horrible because we had another one the previous year with the exact same theme: the life of the Romanian family in the country.

    The most boring I've read would probably be "Evermore" by Alyson Noel.

    It was lent to me by my cousin who for the most part likes the same books I do. I was actually shocked she liked this... The book's filled with redundancy! I mean, the author takes two pages each to describe just about EVERYTHING (okay, maybe an exaggeration but you get the point). If you removed all the redundant parts I'd wager this book, and probably the rest of the series (wouldn't know for sure though as I've never bothered with the rest), could all fit into one normal sized novel.

    Well I don't remember the name but it was a book about a girl who's mother and father were fighting. Her dad went to jail and her brother ran away. I never finished the whole book because it was very boring.
