The first book that comes to mind is Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. In all fairness, the parts with the zombies and ninjas were cool, and they transitioned well throughout the original text, but I think I didn’t like this book ‘cause I just didn’t like the original text. I tried twice thus far in my short lifetime to finish reading Pride and Prejudice, but I’ve given up both times. Now, I never give up on books—I merely set them aside to read other books first. But that just shows how I just couldn’t tolerate Pride and Prejudice, hence, why I didn’t like Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.
[And a close second place that comes to mind is The Grapes of Wrath. I did end up finishing the book, but I couldn’t stand the experience. Then again, I was in junior high school when I read it, so maybe I wasn’t ready to read the novel then. I’ll probably read it again someday…]
