The worst book that I ever read was Papillon by Henri Charrière. It was supposed to be a real life story. I had heard so much about this book from my friends and classmates that I felt compelled to read it. Book started fine but then the author started going into fantasies and it became so ridiculous by 1/3rd of the book that I wanted to chuck it in the dustbin. Somehow I finished the book and decided that I will never go through the horror of completing a book I don't like. Obviously such promises never work and I still finish books but it doesn't affect me that much.
