1. Well, I started to read Tolstoy's War and Peace when I was in secondary school, out of curiosity. You can easily know what happened: I assumed that no book on earth was more boring. I stopped after a few chapters, couldn't figure out what Leo Tolstoy was trying to say through so many characters. After all, I was so small a kid to read those fine works... Several years since that day and I still can't bring myself to do a re-read.

2. The first book from Victor Hugo's Les misérables is painful. I don't know how the work is published in your countries, but it comes in 4-5 thick books in mine, and all the first book covers only a part of volume 1 (Fantine), which is only about bishop Myriel. Only about him! What's so interesting in that? Why did Hugo have to write about an unimportant character for hundreds of pages?? Myriel plays no big role! Why didn't Hugo move on to more relevant plots? As a 12-year-old kid, needed 2 years to finish that 1st book, I was the misérable one!! He should've written about me!!

3. Also, Lauren Weisberger's The Devil Wears Prada. What a waste of time!! Nothing more to say.
(Luckily, the later books were obviously better. Phew. Almost gave up, Myriel was a pain in my ***)
