Twilight is NOT the worst book ever!
« on: November 19, 2009, 09:10:48 AM »

I've found something WORSE!  It's SOOOOO poorly written I can't even stand listening to it for more than five minutes.

It's called "Gamer Girl".  Here's someone reading it on YouTube.

Here's a quote:

Quote
Maddy’s life: not so rockin’. Her parents split, she’s stuck in a new, small town at a school full of Aberzombies and Haters, she has a crush on someone she really shouldn’t like, and she’s stuck with the nickname Freak Girl.

Sometimes it’s enough to retreat into her drawing – her Manga is totally important to her – but when she gets Fields of Fantasy for her birthday, she knows she’s found the one place she can be herself. In the game world, Maddy can transform from regular outcast high school student to Allora, a beautiful Elvin Princess with magical powers to take down enemies with a snap of her fingers and wave of her wand.

As Allora, Maddy can totally be herself. She spends a lot of time questing with Sir Leo, a brave knight who seems to really like Allora, and maybe even the IRL (In Real Life) Maddy. Allora’s virtual life is perfect, but a real gamer girl understands that real life comes first – Maddy knows she can’t escape from her IRL problems. She has to find ways to kick back at the Haters, rock her manga and find the new, real life friends she knows she deserves.

Lies!  What you quoted is not a book.  It is a tweeny-bopper's diary written in third person 'cause she's vain like that.

Of course Twilight isn't the worst book ever written.  Currently, that award goes to Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol.  I thought everyone knew this...

I dunno, it said it was a quote where I got the info from.  Maybe that's what was actually on the back of the book.
haha.

@book - I haven't read that one, but I rather enjoy Dan's books, but then again, I just like conspiracy theories. h aha.

Guys, I actually know the worst published book ever. Have you heard of that new vampire flick called "True Blood"? It was actually not so bad of a TV series, so I picked up the book.

Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris

Worst mistake of my life. By the end of chapter 1, my brain was hemorrhaging uncontrollably.

At least that one gives you the nicety of killing you.  Gamer Girl slowly tortures you into insanity.

Charlaine Harris' novels really aren't that bad.  The TV series, in my opinion, is inferior to the novels.  If you like Harris' humor, then you will like the series.  The actual writing isn't bad in the least.  It is clearly marketed to females who like to mix higher quantities of romance with Urban Fantasy.  And, having met the author, she is quite cool.

Trust me when I say, that after running a book review website for a few months now, Harris' novels aren't even close to being bad, much less the worst ever.  We'll publish our 2009 list of best and worst soon enough...

Is that the proper plural form of Terry? I mean that seems more like a possessive, but Terries doesn't work with it being a name, and Terrys just looks weird. Hmmm...

Plural possessive would be Terrys'....

When it comes to books, yes, Twilight is the worst book ever written.

But when it comes to fanfics?  My Immortal definitely takes the cake.  But at least that one's so bad you laugh pretty much the whole time.
When to live is to die, and to die is to live, does either really matter?

Did you listen to the book I linked?  It's WAY worse than Twilight.  I personally can't stand Twilight, but would rather read it than the one I linked to.
