Elyse · Accepted Answer

13 reasons why was so so the Netflix show was better the the book. I didn't like the first Alex Cross book by James Patterson

Eri · Answer

Micro by Michael Crichton posthumously and Richard Preston. Hated the story, the significant gore factor, the writing, pretty much everything about it.

Nancy · Answer

The plus side of being an adult is not reading, or at least not finishing books you hate. I did read "13 Reasons Why" for a book club and thought it was aweful. Also read a couple that Clive Cussler wrote in collaboration with another author that were so sloppy Dirk Pit couldn't have the same color shirt in the same scene (paragraph).
