These books aren’t in any particular order I am just writing them down as their suckyness popped into my head.
• Twilight: Where do I start? Bad plot, grammar mistakes in the published novel, bland characters, not to mention targeted towards girls who are obviously not ready to understand the emotional side of the story. I agree with Stephan King on this one its horrible.
• The Vampire Chronicles: I am not hating on all of Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles but anything after The Vampire Lestat is boring. Fair play to Rice in the amount of historical research that she puts into her novels but if I wanted a history lesson I would buy a history book. Rice's novels are amazingly detailed and researched but she needs to spend more time on the plot. One of her novels Pandora I was really looking forward to reading, I read the summary online and the blurb of the novel in the book store sadly though the blurb was more interesting than the actual story. The fact that there are two vampire series' on this list is the reason why I stick to Dracula.
• Mariah Mundi: The Midas Box: The language alone ruined this novel for me; it was too rigid there was no flow to the words on the pages at all. I am not nit picking. What was I expecting from a book that I bought from a pound shop? There is a difference between "The cat sat on the mat" and "the cat was curled comfortably upon the soft rug purring happily as it was warmed by the flickering flame of the fireplace". The difference? Atmosphere, this book seriously needs some.
• Cujo: There are very few King stories that I dislike. Sadly in Cujo's case the scariest part of Cujo was in the first or second chapters. The beginning of the novel was brilliant and scary but after that it just slowed down. If a book starts frightening it is exhilarating but if the rest of the novel doesn’t deliver it is just a disappointment.
• 1408: I never thought it was possible for a movie to be better than the short story. That is all I have to say on that one.
