Boring? Can it be both boring and Horrifically bad?
Any book in Laurell K Hamilton's Anita Blake Vampire Hunter series after the initial trilogy. It just keeps going into more and more of her super-duper-complicated personal life, her angst over completely throwing away her morals for power, and a horrendous amount of written porn. Not even well-written porn. Gah.
I also agree with adding the Outlander series to this list - I remember reading it in high school and just loving the epicness of the main characters love, however, having tried to re-read it, I just couldn't stand it.
(SPOILER)
The entire first book is basically about how she ends up married to this young innocent highlander who ends up trading a one night stand with the Evil Gay(!) Englishman in order to save her sorry ass. I mean - come on! Reality needed here!! He ends up being poor dutiful self-sacrificing husband cause she's Miss Time Travelling Thang.
The later books also seem to change the poor guy's profession every book, and have his time-travelling wife drop in on him and he drops his current relationship to take up with her again, cause she's his "One True Love" (need a vomiting smiley to insert here).
(END SPOILER)
Overall, the whole series not only draaags on, but the plot line is ridiculous unless you are an over emotional naive teen! (Twilight fans would probably love it!)
Has anyone read Pride and Prejudice and Zombies yet?
