The worst book I ever read was, without a doubt, Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man by James Joyce! Set text at school and utterly impenetrable!!
Biggest disappointment was the Soldier Son trilogy by Robin Hobb. I'd enjoyed her Assassin series so much I suppose I'd already made my mind up it was going to be more of the same, but the main charachter was so unlikeable I was shocked!
Best non-fiction was Alison Wier's biography of Eleanor of Aquitaine - what a woman!!
