Bad Book Reviews!


I'm launching my 'Bad Book Reviews' here now!

What qualifies a book as being a 'Bad Book'? Typically these are the books that have done well enough to earn a following of hatred.
 I'm open to suggestions, but the books must meet these criteria. One, the book needs to be pretty well known. Two, no self pubs, horror or excessively violent books, no non-fiction or politics. Three, I reserve the right to reject any and all recommendations. Four, I'm looking for books that might appeal to people, yet managed to still go wrong. Books that completely tanked for being terrible got there for a reason. I want books, that like certain 'B' movies, find there way onto shelves over and over, despite being terrible.
Got any ideas? Thus far on the chopping block are '50 Shades of Gray', and 'Twilight'. I've already read both, but I'm waiting on 50 Shades to do a comprehensive overall review of the trilogy.
So give me your suggestions! What are some terrible books out there that manage to sell? What books do you want me to critique with no holds barred honesty? Give me ideas!
