I'll probably get flamed for some of these choices but here's my list:
- Brick lane by Monica Ali. So badly written and researched, i was embarrassed for the author, as I'm from a similar background to her.
- The God of small things. There was one sentence that was repeated over and over again to the point of toe curling cringe. Something about the twin's hair bobbing. Also generally didn't enjoy the writing or plot. Just absolute crap. I don't get the adulation for this at all.
- Anything by Maggie o'Farrell or Kate Atkinson. I know people love them both, i just don't get it.
- Sophie Hannah's more recent books are just dire. The earlier ones were great.
- Catch 22. Just gibberish. You probably have to be drugged up to enjoy it.
I'm sure I'll think of more.
So which books do you think are overrated?
