#Questions: What was the worst book you ever read or stopped reading?

Divergent by Veronica Roth. My aunt warned me that it was a terrible book but I read it anyway. I wanted to give up – especially – toward the middle but I kept going. I never read anymore of the series and have no desire to watch the movies.

I understand wanting to have an almost unattractive female lead character. But when her love interest tells her he doesn't see her as the cutest person in the world.. it sounds more like negging and abusive. You don't have to fall in love with someone because of their looks but to say it the way he did...felt off.

That more than likely wasn't Veronica Roth's reason for this. She was probably trying for a female

character who was different from other female lead books. But if I remember correctly the girl in this book never seemed caught up with her looks or need someone to comment on them. So, it felt weird that he would and felt like it needed to say it.

Am I nitpicking? Probably.

What was the worst book you've ever read? Did you suffer through or keep going?
