The Bronze Horseman by Paulina Simons wins worst book award for me (although I haven't read all of Twilight or 50 Shades of Grey, which by all accounts could be worse).
TBH had such a RIDICULOUS premise that I just couldn't get past it. I didn't like any of the characters either. Alexander was a controlling dipshit. Tatiana just kept doing stupid things, and I got a bit bored with hearing how few potatoes they had left. Then the middle of the book was wall-to-wall cheesy and vanilla sex for like 200 pages. I finished it, but only as an exercise in how not to write.
Oh, and of all the long depressing novels I had to read for my English Literature degree, I actually liked Hardy just for pushing the boundaries. :-)
