There were a few books in high school that I finished because I had to: four Faulkner novels that turned me off Faulkner forever (don't remember their titles; can't read Faulkner again because I might start one of them.)
But the one that pops to mind at the moment is _There Will Be Dragons_ by John Ringo. Completely terrible. Total failure to think through the obvious social consequences of his technology, seriously degrading to women, Mary Sue main character and--where I'd been hoping that the characters I cared about might actually play a significant role in the final struggle--they got shoved off to the side.
Bleagh. Cured me forever of even considering a book with that author's name on the cover.
