With the Mumsnet
Book Club already thriving, we thought it about time we started reviewing grown up books and for this category we're looking to hand out the wooden spoon to the worst book you've read this year (that was published in the last year or so). Please add as many reviews as you like and feel free to comment on other folks' choices. As ever, if you have any suggestions for new categories you'd like to see, please send them over to contactus@mumsnet.com.

I so much enjoyed 'The Rotter's Club' and 'What a Carve Up!' by this author - vivid stories,,full of wit and insight. In contrast 'The Rain Before It Falls' feels like a dumbed down version of his writing, written to order for a female readership. As a novel it is not bad, but it seems so passionless and empty compared with his other novels, so it disappointed me big time.
