My list of bad books? Off the top of my head:

1. Habitation One by Fred Dunstan. To be fair, I did buy this based solely on a review which said it was one of the worst books ever written. It is, laughingly so.

2. The Snow by Adam Roberts. Should be renamed The S**t.

3. Perdido Street Station by China Miéville. This book has won stacks of awards and lots of my friends rave about it. I just could not get into it - tried half a doxen times over the last 10 years. No Joy.

4. The Reality Dysfunction by Peter F Hamilton. Started off stupid, then got worse.

5. Just One Look by Harlan Coben. Indicative of that entire genre.

6. Flowers In The Attic by Victoria Andrews. I laughed all the way through, everything was bad, plot, characters, the dreadful attempts to invoke emotion.
