I read Educated after so many people recommended it (and it was free…) but I despised it. Felt like poverty porn with an unreliable narrator.
The other one I hated was The Poisonwood Bible. I've read a lot of books on the Congo, and this one was just YUCK.
What are the other books you see recommended all the time that you just despised and why?

I didn’t despise it but I am not a part of the massive Piranesi fan club. I felt like it was self-indulgent and pointless. I kept waiting for there to be a point to my reading endless descriptions of statues and halls and birds present. I thought there would be profound connections made . . . Nope.
My Year of Rest and Relaxation. I’m happy for the people that enjoyed it, but that book didn’t work for me.
