I just read a terrible book

[Orangeis]

Bring me back, B A Paris.

What a load of absolute tosh. A man's partner dissapears, 6 years later he gets with her sister and lives with her. The big twist is.....the new girlfriend is actually the missing sister. He didn't realise this as she had a different hair do.
That's hours of my life I'll never get back. I feel like taking the book in to the back garden and burning the bugger.
What's your worst book and why?

Don’t get me started on Sophie Hannah.

There's a lot of bilge out there! I find that many authors "recommend" their friends' oeuvres no matter what rubbish they are. There is an old boys' network if you like.

I've tried to read Unravelling Oliver twice and I just can't do it, and it's only a short book. Can anyone tell me if it's worth persevering with?

My friend is in a bookclub that they call slender classics and the books have to be classic and under a certain page number. One of them was Hotel du Lac and another Breakfast at Tiffanys. I read alongside the books they pick but can't join as it is a small closed group that meets in a restaurant.
I would love to join or at least one very similar to it because most bookclubs just pick new books or one that the library has enough copies of. My friend's group usually buy a second hand copy each,

@EclairsAndDoughnuts do you follow the Rather Dated threads on here?

@JaneJeffer No I haven't but I've just had a look and like it.

Thank you very much

Yes, come and join us Rather Dated lot @EclairsAndDoughnuts ! The latest read is The L-Shaped Room by Lynne Reid Banks.

I'll be there!

Lived this book! However I listened to it on audible

Or even loved!

It really isn't, it's all just pointless in the end.

Confused now maybe I'll make a third and final attempt sometime
