100 Disappointing Books - Page 2

It's totally personal opinions. Some of these books were written by authors whom I loved previous work but hated one novel (Son of Rosemary, Cleaving). Some I didn't even finished (Augie March, Death in the family) and others were just okay (Mexican Gothic, A room with a view). I know there are classics on this list appreciated by almost everyone, but as I said, it's my personal opinions and good for you if you enjoyed them!
