The World’s Worst Children

Product Information

It’s unlikely general audiences can relate to this duo’s professional dysfunction as it appears they received salaries for doing nothing all day. It’s more insulting than relatable. Despite the disgusting and evil propaganda peddled in this book, it became the most popular book in Germany during Hitler’s time as Chancellor. I would never read it, and would personally urge others to do the same.

If you don’t like ghosts, ogres, zombies, vampires, aliens, werewolves or mummies, DO NOT READ THIS BOOK.However, the book’s marketing and public relations team did an incredible job of coming up with smart marketing strategies to help it sell. The book is also littered with historical and religious inaccuracies that appear to have been included just to help it fit the narrative. Although this book doesn’t have the best plot, characters, atmosphere, and dialogue, it can be a light weekend read when you don’t want to stress your brain with heavy literature. 5. The Eye of Argon (Jim Theis) It is not the case to compare this book with anything you have read or seen before, however. The plot is a basic one, revolving around revenge and sacrifice. Hold on though…before you add it to your basket, let me just give you the opening line: Some people consider this book as almost pornographic filth. Although it starts as a fan-fiction piece, this erotic-thriller series follows a deepening relationship between Anastasia and Christian (the eponymous Mr. Grey), as he introduces her to erotic practices and roleplaying involving bondage, restraint, dominance and submission, sadomasochism, and other related acts.

Join David Braymer on his journey from high school teacher to 1st science officer aboard Lunar Base Module 1, through wildly fantastical space battles, to his encounters with alien lifeforms.Chan welcomed the change, but called on HarperCollins to be more transparent about its thinking. “The initial response of the removal of Brian Wong’s story is a start after our conversations earlier this year, however HarperCollins has been reluctant to commit to anything further which holds them accountable and sets an example as a leader in consumer publishing. Asian Leadership Collective hopes that more transparent communication from HarperCollins will be released to the wider public on why the story is being removed and changed,” she said. “We believe HarperCollins is more than capable in actioning the above and in showing that they are an inclusive, strong thought leader and ally on these issues. HarperCollins needs to be transparent and take accountability for the harmful narratives portrayed in their books.” All of which is excessively harsh, deliciously messy, and also—dare I say it—a little bit impressive? Admit it, there’s something kind of remarkable about being the worst at whatever you’ve chosen to do. At least, that’s what my mom once told me when I was eleven years old and everyone voted me the worst player on our fifth-grade basketball team.* And much like how my fellow Wildcats came together to correctly and unequivocally roast me that day in the school gymnasium, the general population has, over the years, joined forces to say that these books are the worst things the world of literature has to offer. Let’s dive in!

Characters are among the most significant elements of a book. In any case, you can’t tell a story without characters. Therefore, interesting characters will make a book more fascinating. If the characters are boring and dry, they put off the reader regardless of how great the plot is. When I’m not geeking out, I enjoy travelling, camping, hiking – just having some real-life adventures, trying to replicate my favourite heroes. Mr Stink, Gangsta Granny, The Boy in the Dress and Billionaire Boy have all been adapted into TV comedy dramas. David’s books have also been made into theatre productions including Mr Stink, Gangsta Granny, Ratburger and The First Hippo on the Moon. In May, Ma met with publisher HarperCollins, along with Anna Chan from the Asian Leadership Collective, to discuss how “problematic” the story was. “[We] shared our personal experiences of some of the hardships we had growing up and being teased for being a BBC (British-born Chinese). Stories like Brian Wong have a role to play in normalising jokes on minorities from a young age and we want this to be removed,” she said at the time. “We were open and honest with HarperCollins. We want fairer representation to the wider ESEA community and we feel books that educate kids on diversity should be done fairly, rather than joking about harmful stereotypes.”

2. 50 Shades of Grey Series (E.L. James)

Laugh along to these ten terrifying tales of marvellous monsters, brought to you by David Walliams, and illustrated in glorious technicolour by Adam Stower. A change of direction with this one, and in my opinion, the worst book ever. Reading the title alone will already fill you with many different emotions, mainly hatred and sadness. I’ve always been drawn to stories, and my two great loves are Star Wars and World of Warcraft. I fall in love with fandoms easily, devouring everything I can get my hands on including games, spin-offs, and extra material. As a huge animal lover, I’m constantly asking my fiance if I can adopt every cute fantasy creature I come across. Although we already have two cats, Milo and George, I would quite happily have many more – even a zoo if I was allowed!
