The Dice Man - Luke Rhinehard (I think)
Great idea, man makes all his life decisions from the result of rolling of a dice.
But it seriously lost the plot, as did I. It took me months to read the last 1/3rd.

One of the most ridiculuosly wordy piles of dross ever written. Why use one word when 3 chapters worth of words will do? Long and very, very boring.
Complete trossocks, I don't normally read fiction because I can't see the point in reading something that's made up, but C & P is one of my few exceptions to that rule, a classic.

Cardinal of the Kremlin, by Tom Clancey.
Too many long words, and no pictures.

I'm sorry!
I thought the ideas were great, the concepts were interesting enough. But I felt the writing was so terrible in places it actually had me shouting at the book in disgust! He dropped the ball with that one - other stuff I've read by him was alright.

Oooo....and Harry Potter is a character in J.K.Rowling tales,though I agree a bit formulaic.

I thought I'd try to read a Harry Potter book to see what the fuss was about. Utterly awful, like some bastard cross between Enid Blyton and the Chronicles of Narnia.

Films/Tv series pish .. book's excellent.
A work of Fiction based around Ieyasu Tokugawa's rise to Shogun. The head honsho in the book Toranaga is meant to be Tokugawa, his main protagonist is based on Tokugawa's main rival Ishida Mitsunari. Their was an English Pilot, he did become a Samuri and he led Takugawa's navy, but that's about as close as the book comes to fact concerning the Anjin-san. Good read though.

Atlantis - can't remember who by but it is his first book and boy does it show. All the heroes are stallions, all the heroines godess like, all the baddies evil looking. Reads like it was written by a 12 year old.

Bit of a classic imho,
Alex Garland - Tesseract(sp) so bad i couldn't spell it, The Beach was marginally better
the tesseract was bloody horrendous.
American psycho was shite.
Being Dead by Jim Crace was really not interesting at all.
