Authors You Hate

[systhicsfg]

whoever wrote twilight

Stephanie Meyer! Damn that moorman fiend! Trying to push her celibacy values on us with her bullshit.

J.K. Rowling is very overrated, but her first few books were fantastic. It started getting bad at around the 5th book and my interest in the waned alot.

I think Stephen King is losing some of his touch.

Bill O'Riley. I hate him anyway, but to think he published a book? Disgusting.

I'd have to agree. Another poster said he lost it after Tommyknockers. I'd have to agree. I read a few after that, the last being Insomnia, and found myself bored. His writing appears to be more geared toward trying to get movie contracts, than toward writing a good story that keeps the reader up late at night because they can't put the book down.

I read Bill's book. It wasn't bad, but personally, I like Beck more.

I've read The O'Reilly Factor for Kids: A Survival Guide for America's Youth and Culture Warrior and I have to say that they are both terrible. Maybe his latest book could be different but I doubt it will be anything less than awful. But since I oppose his views I might be a bit biased. But unlike Bill O'Reilly I admit it.

To every one who said Stephanie Meyers or J.K. Rowling, I present to you a challenge. Read any story by D.H. Lawrence and see if you can seriously call them the worse authors. Let me give you a hint about how bad he is...

HE MAKES INCEST BORING A FUCKING BORING STORY!!! You think your celebant teens are boring, wait till you read stories about loose men and women boring.

Tom Clancy. All of his books deal with the same shite: terrorists, some sort of covert team doing something covert to thwart the terrorists, and democracy beng saved by said covert team.

His video games are even worse, if that's possible.

I`m happy someone agreed with me on Jane Austin. I loved the new Pride & Prejudice movie so naturally I assumed the book would be a gem. Unfortunately I was wrong.

 

[SebZero]

Stepheny Meyer.

JK Rowling.

Shakespeare. Waaay overrated.

Anyone who writes a Halo novel and isn't Eric Nylund. He's the only one who seems to get it right.

Stephanie Meyer

 

[Cado_Deus]

The woman that ruined vampires for me...oh and the original author of the Early American stories like "First Thanksgiving" and "George Washington and the Cherry Tree"...it's sad people think that those stories, as told by the author, actually happened.

 

[the protaginist]

Christopher Paolini. Eragon and Eldest were okay if you were willing to turn your brain off for awhile, but Brisingr... Let's just say you've failed as an author if your main character who rides a dragon and can use magic is less interesting then his cousin.

I'm not that big a fan of Ted Dekker either, because his idea of a 'dramatic plot twist' turns the book inside out to a point where you can't even fucking understand whats going on anymore. But he's not that preachy for a Christian author, so he gets some bonus points for that...

 

[DeathsAmbassador]

Having actually read the Twilight books I am going to have to say Stephanie Meyer, how can she even call them vampires? Fucking stupid is the only thing that can sum up those books.

It seem like a lot of people are complaining about classic authors like Steinbeck, I agree that they take forever to describe things but I think that's part of their genius, but I guess it's an opinion.

I also hate whoever it was that wrote North To Freedom, but I might be biased because I had to read it in school and the teacher who I hated said it was a work of literary genius.

Dan Brown, for the love of God! No Pun intended, Dan Brown.

It attempts to be so freaking clever, but everyone that reads those books can always bust the riddles within half a second of reading them, while Tom Hanks (I've forgotten the character's name) bums around for 5 fecking chapters scratching his head like a brain dead neanderthal.

That and the formula for his books is exactly the same for each one.

Dude meets girl, girl has problem, meets confident, evil person appears, turns out the confident is evil, turns out the evil guy was being used, confident/real evil guy is foiled thereby solving girl's problem, dude bags girl.

This was the exact formula used for Angels & Demons, it was a test run to see if he could create a page turner, it worked. So then he just copies and pastes the same page turning, 3 page to a chapter formula and added some controversial subject matter pilfered from more talented authors and the Da Vinci Code was born.

I totally agree. Also that he puts a cliffhanger into EVERY damn chapter! God, it's a cheap trick mixed with bogus conspiracy theories to make it seem clever.

That's what I came to this threat to say.

Moris Gleitzman

Pompous dick, his books are just tripe, and penis.

 

[xenos60]

Goddamn Harry Turtledove

 

[necromanzer52]

John Boyne for writing the boy in the striped pyjamas.
There's only one good thing I can say about that book...It's short.

 

[Vern]

Any author who uses dialogue to advance the story instead of using the story to advance the dialogue.

 

[PyroZombie]

whoever wrote twilight at all, harry potter, and maybe hitler.

 

[Jirlond]

Katie Price and anyone else who has no skill in literature but releases a book on their celebrity status and get people to buy it just because they are idiots.

 

[raxer92]

The author from Twilight

 

[Guestowel]

I do not like Tom Clancy, or Dean Koontz.
