Within a bat of my eye should say THE ALCHEMIST , it was so hyped with absolutley no content , just a pure waste of time !

MINE WULD BE THE DA VINCI CODE....

it started off well but then i got utterly betterly confused with facts n fiction.... the middle part was really boring the end though dramatic was not really enjoyable.... too exaggerated i think....

Probably wouldn't say boring as I read the whole book in a day or two's time, but at the end of "God of Small Things," by Roy, I was left unimpressed. The book had no impact on me, didn't leave me thinking, the way good book do, whereas I was expecting it to be something better because of all the acclaim it's gotten.

For those who didn't enjoy "The Alchemist:" I read the Alchemist in one sitting, and it's not exactly compelling, so I hear where you're coming from. It's just one of those stories which are the way they are, simplistic, not offering much. Definitely something that I wouldn't recommend but as time-pass, it's okay (although, even for that, there are better books.)

1. Didn't understand too much.

2. Had to read it for class.

3. Not my type of genre.

Yes I completely agree with you...heart of darkness was i couldn't understand a WORD😆

I've read some really oring books fom time to time, but one of the most boring I thing is " The Jane Austen Book Club" by Karen Joy Fowler. I can't really describe wha made it boring for me, but it was.

i also agree that Anne Frank was a bit tedious. Her story itself is amazing but her diary wasn't anything spectacular.
