Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer Report Abuse
A freaky vampire/human baby who is suddenly soulmates with a werewolf? A dismal end to an otherwise great series.

Fifty Shades of Grey by EL James Report Abuse
A piece of Twilight fan fiction is a bestseller? A weak protagonist and a male lead with major issues was not appealing at all.

The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova Report Abuse
The first ever boring book I've read about vampires. Lengthy and put me right to bed after only reading a few pages.

50 Reasons Why by Jay Asher Report Abuse
A melodramatic and unrealistic look at teen suicide. Main character was completely unsympathetic and dialogue cringeworthy.
