Most annoying book of all time (2 Viewers)

[duckofdoom]

The show itself is far worse.

What the hell is wrong with Rove?

 

[withoutaface]

He's an arrogant prick and the only funny stuff is what's sent in by the viewers? (ie what the?)

 

[duckofdoom]

True, the what the is funny but I don't think he's arrogant.

I agree... it was parody gone wrong, which is just awful...

Brave New World is a fantastic novel, drawn from the best genre of fiction in existence.

agreed. Rather than constantly dismissing due to hype, I actually tried to read it. I can see why people would be hooked into it but it really is poor writing. Didnt appeal to me at all and its irritating to hear everyone talking like they're experts in religion now...

"Nice and entertaining..." and indicative of your english skills.

nah i thought it (the Da Vinci code) was a good read, quite interesting... but its annoying readers make it fall under "most annoying people of all time" not "most annoying book of all time".

 

[thejosiekiller]

i just think its too hard to write a book about religion in which everyone will agree that its accurate and entertaining...

what it was- a story that had elements of christian theology and the second it was wrong in one aspect everyone decided to dribble on how terrible it was.
imo it was a good story, but i wouldnt make it the cornerstone of my faith or rewrite the history books either.

As far as books go, The DaVinci Code is similar to Spice Girls' "Wannabe" so far as to say thats its construction, thematic content and main discussion topics are purposely created to cater to the masses. People who read very few books generally find it appealing because of its simple language, format (ie. short chapters and relatively small number of pages) etc etc etc.

well not every book can be a diamond in the rough abs

Thats not at all what im saying. My major gripe is that there are far better authors telling far better storys out there than Dan Brown, yet they recieve little to no acclaimation other than that of literary critics and the odd reader. To me, this seems unfair.

"I can't see what gripe you would have with bringing reading to the general populous? "

Though i acknowledge my gripe above, a further gripe which is indicative of a trend in society in general, is that "the populous" have only decided to start reading because of the fanfare that this novel has created, proliferated through mass-media. Were the fan-fare created solely based on the merits of the novel i would have no such gripe.

hmmm...I wouldn't say best...but I would never list it as one of the 'most annoying books of all time'.
It was...depressing though.

oooh, thought of another book; that 'Clan of the Cave Bear' or something.
GOD...so...damn...long...winded!
