What is the best book you've ever read? worst book?

The best book has to be Star Wars Allegiance by Timothy Zahn. It's a really great read and it doesn't draw out for a long time just to fill pages. It's to the point but still long, so the plot is chock full of action, adventure, and great things. I would recommend this book to anyone who's a star wars fan.

The worst book I've ever read had to be the Harry Potter series. I know I might get flamed for saying that, but I just didn't like the book. I was never a fan of wizards or magic spells, and i dont read all that often, and it just didn't tickle my fancy.

Best Book(s) The Dark Tower Series by Stephen King (now in Graphical Novel form)

Worst The Great Gatsby (I hated this book with a passion, actually burned my copy in HS)

Yeah, the great gatsby was pretty bad, from what i heard. I might have to read it this year 0_o

Best: Dr. Faustus (the Thomas Mann novel).
I had better not say which was the worst.

Best book - "Windows for Dummies"


Worst book - "Windows for Dummies"


Well, it is for dummies, so what would you expect?

I don't really have a best book right now...I'm on a current events/politics kick right now.

Worst book honors go to The Jungle. Yes, I also read The Great Gatsby in high school, but trust me, The Jungle was much much worse. *shudders*

I have so many favorites I cant list em all. The stand by S. King is amazing. The riddlemaster of hed series was my favorite fantasy series growing up.

When I was much younger, I loved the Narnia books though I had no idea there were so many christian references at the time.

My favorite story I guess is IT by Stephen King.. since I have read it quite a few times. I dont have a worse book.. if its boring I wont keep reading. I have been trying to read a book recently but I cant get past 3 pages.. boring. It's called jonathan Strange.

i too enjoyed The stand, pity about the lousy movie



ITnow there's one scary book ,i lived alone when i first read that and it scared the bejesus out me.also shame about the lousy movie.


have also read the bachman books ,my favourite was called the long walk(i think)
the running man was also good,pity about the movie

I have most of S. King's works and must say that Roadwork is one of his worst books (way to slow for me)

Philip Pullmans "His Dark Materials" series was billed as "The next great Fantasy series" only one problem..... its written for 13 year old girls (needless to say I gave it away to the g/f's sister)

Favorite us a hard one. I've read literally thousands of books in my lifetime; If I become engrossed in a book, I'll be back at the library or bookstore the following day. I've reread the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy deveral times, so perhaps that qualifies.*

The award for all-time worst has to go, not to a book, but an author - Dickens. Don't think I've ever been able to get through more than four or five pages of any of his stuff.

It actually just dawns on me.. one of the worst books I ever read, and by worst I mean, that it was very frightening, and rather scarred me on a deep emotional level was Pet Sematary By Stephen King. That is one of the few books I have ever read that I had to stop reading and set it aside. Scared the hell out of me.. and it is the only book by King that I have never re-read. I won't ever. It was awful.

You have to read it in the right setting. Wait for a windy, stormy night, when the power has gone out; the only sounds are the howling of the wind, the sleet on the roof, and the tapping of branches on the sides and windows of the house. Read it by candlelight. Alone.
