  "Unanimously disliked by everyone in my bookclub" by jenniferharding (see profile) 03/10/11

Very poorly written. The characters have no personalities and are incredibly underdeveloped. Everything that happens, every person they come in contact with, far too convenient and unbelievable. The author clearly has a point to get across but fails miserably in the execution.

 
  "The Monkey Bible" by allisonsacres (see profile) 06/07/11

Poorly written, the writer didn't develop the characters well. We were trying very hard to figure out the "analogy" in the book. We figured it must be in the characters representing the church and secular, but that seems to be a stretch. I was very disappointed, personally. I was hoping it would be a good discussion point for people that had differing views on creationism vs. evolution. My creationist friends would have put the book down after the first page. They would have gotten so offended by the sexual reference at the very beginning.
