Time for some thread necromancy for the heck of it:
It's been a while since I've read this one, but I think the worst book I ever read was one I was forced to read in high school for American Literature: "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Annoying, uninteresting characters plus a terrible plot. Out of all the books we could have read from the 1920s, I think they could have picked a much better title. I don't think I've ever come across something so overrated with maybe the exception of the "Twilight" series which is obvious religious propaganda once you understand the writers background and the really bad illusions she makes to the "Book of Mormon" (which, by the way, is a hilarious read).
