Most Boring Book? - Page 3

Anything in a modern setting bugs me. I guess I'm not thrilled with "reality." =P

But books I really hate are all those "stranded on an island with no way off" ones. That includes Lord of the Flies, even though that book had a deep understanding of the folly of people (or at least some people).

I think the two books I had to suffer the most through were 'Beowulf' and 'The Scarlet Letter.' Beowulf just didn't really spark my interest. Scarlet Letter was just unbareably detailed. I didn't think it was possible to spend an entire chapter describing a letter. When I had to read it, I got to the point to where I just started skimming the dialogue because I got more out of it. It was a great plot idea, but the details seemed overly done to me. At least for my interest.

Harry Potter. I am sorry for those who will curse me for this, but it is true. The movies are okay to watch when my kids are watching, but at bedtime they have to look to their mother for these books. I prefer to read Tolkien, Avi, and of course all of the jets, sharks, and other library books they pick out.

I think the Dune prequals/sequals are pretty boring and odd because it's written by two writers with entirely different styles. I like Brian Herbert but not Kevin Jackson. He is all for plot, and not for characters. I overall like the story, but I think it would have been much better if Brian Herbert would have written it by his own.

The most boring book I have ever read would have to be Julius Caesar. I love Shakespeare, especially A Midsummer night's dream. But I never really got into Julius Caesar.

Yeah, Shakespeare's different genre's tend to have completely different styles. In histories he writes less in Iambic pentameter and includes less puns and sex jokes which usually make his stories very funny (both comedies and tragedies.) They are also less emotional. While in tragedy, the hero always dies in the end and in comedies the favorite couple marries, in histories, it is more realistic therefore also more moderate.

I love to read and there are many books I have started and stopped because they were boring. The one book that sticks in my mind is Dianetics by L. Ron Hubbard. I bought it because of all the hype about Scientology. I have never gotten beyond the first chapter. It is definitely one of the most confusing and boring books I've ever tried to read.

Dune and Harry potter. I read harry potter when it became a best seller, and wasn't very impressed. Magic seems to solve everything, and there's no depth. For a children's book, it is good, but for those who enjoy high fantasy, I wouldn't recommend it. As for Dune, I thought the books were a little dry, and I agree with Smudge. Brian Herbert should have written the entire series.
