You thought "The Grapes of Wrath" was bad??? My God, what is wrong with you? Do you know how to read?
I guess my example would be Gregory Maguire. "Wicked" was incredible, "Son of a Witch" was mediocre, and everything else was pretty bad.

I hated Trickster's Choice too. Protector of the Small and Lioness Rampant quartets are near and dear to my heart, though. Kel is my favorite. 
I was also rather fond of the Circle of Magic books, but the Wild Mage ones didn't really do it for me.

omg, the wild mage, i couldn't even pick that one up..i think what disgusted me was that the little heroine married a guy who was like 40 years her senior or something.

| Yes, bad as in boring and tedious. You're probably the first person under 40 I've met who liked The Grapes of Wrath :P.

I HATED Protector of the Small books. They were so boring, and Kel was reallyyyyyyyyyyy annoying.
I love the Alanna, Trickster's, and Wild Mage books, though. Especially Wild Mage.

Yes, I have to ask, Invoyable, apparently your exceeding cleverness is just too far above me for comprehension.
Schritzo: And yet you liked "East of Eden...?" Weird.
How can you call what is considered perhaps the best American novel of all time a "bad book?" You can say you didn't like it (for example, I personally really disliked Jane Eyre) but...bad book? That's just ignorant.

Re: Lemony Snicket, I agree that "The End" didn't end well, but I thought the writing was the best of the series. Will we ever get more??

| You're taking the label of "bad" too seriously. I used the good/bad label as a contrast. I believe that compared to East of Eden, The Grapes of Wrath wasn't as good. Having read both, I like East of Eden much better.
Really, what did you like about Grapes of Wrath that made you get so offended? Just because a book is considered a "classic" doesn't mean disliking it is complete blasphemy.
