Forget the Balrogs! I just like Melkor and Ungoliant effin up the Eldar with just the two of them.
...and then of course, Ungoliant threatening to ef up Melkor.
"Both hands, you said. Gimme gimme gimme, nom nom nom..."

I once suggested to my friend that he reads 'Flowers for Algernon' just for the writing style. He then recommended 'the Road' for other various reasons.
To this day we both argue that each other's book was the most boring book we had ever read. When I heard they had made the Road into a film ..
The road is awesome it conjours up the images of a doomed world so well, the movie was okay but it's not a feel good story which makes it tricky to do as the whole point is to show how hopeless and despondent such a future would be.
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep. I normally love D*ck, but this one was so dry that every move he made seemed forced.

Yeah, that's what he said. I can appreciate it for that element. But it was just a long read with not much happening. Each to their own I guess .. Kinda like consoles vs PC
Brave New World, quite possibly the worse book I've ever read, not sure it was a disappointment, because my teacher told us one of the reasons she picked the book was because everyone should force themselves to finish at least one book in their life. Then the forward from the author effectively said...
"This book is a huge steaming pile of s**t, and I've thought about redoing it, but we can't ever get a redo on art. So I left it as is."
It's hard to be disappointed when you expect something to be that bad and and lives up to it.

It was not good, that is for sure. But it is not 'A Tale of Two Cities' bad. I am someone who can read most anything, but Dickens is pretty awful... And for comparison I enjoyed 'Moby ****' and 'War and Peace.'
My life story.
"Most" is a tricky one. I was definitely extremely disappointed by "The Will of the Empress," by Tamora Pierce, the fifth sequel to a quadrilogy that delivered almost nothing of what was enjoyable about the first four books.
Forever Free, the sequel to the Forever War was aweful. But I have found that Joe Haldemans books to be badly written,
The Time Ships by Stephen Baxter was just the writer plundering all he could from the works of HG Wells and still come up with a bad story.

Yeah I read that a few months back the ending was a real wtf moment such a disappointment after forever war.
