worst/best english novel you have ever read in school? (1 Viewer)

[Divided_By_Zero]

Best was Tomorrow When the War Began - John Marsden in year 10.
I can't even choose a worst, there's been so many bad ones.

Thats a good book, although i never read it in english.

Best: Raw

Worst: JANE EYRE /emo

Best: Year 11 - 1984 Year 10 - To Kill a Mocking Bird, Year 9 - Lord of the Flies the rest were pretty awful. Except in year 3 when I read Hatchet. I loved that book so much that in year five, after re-reading and re-reading it I stole it form the class book box (shhhh...don't tell anyone..)

Worst: Too many...actually, I remember especially hating Artemis Fowl. I think I would have loved it if I were even one year younger, but as a year 9 text it almost killed me!

Worst Book: Hitlers Daughter, Year 8

 

[sophisticated-]

Worst: Emma was a pain in the butt to read. So gossipy and descriptive.
Liked& was bearable: The Outsiders S.E Hinton

 

[Pigmango]

Uhh i think it was called the red pony? tat was really bad. Only novel i didnt finish for school :s

 

[Cabenson]

Best: handmaid's tale, othello, the penelopiad, the glass menagerie, Hedda gabler
Worst: to kill a mockingbird. Hands down my most disliked text.

 

[octopie]

Best: Chinese Cinderella in year 8, I think one of the few books I actually didn't mind reading. Also I think Frankenstein next year will be interesting
Worst: I've disliked many, and right now I can't bring myself to continue reading Wild Swans. It's so long and sometimes it's just overload

 

[gavskiez]

best: to kill a mockingbird, year 10. one of my favorite books.
worst: the dark is rising, year 7. needs no explanation.

 

[Official]

best: animal farm. Was so good that I had to read it again
worst: exposure. you people probably don't know what it is but it is an appropriation of Othello in which the author doesn't even know what tense is.

 

[klaris]

best: to kill a mockingbird
worst: kiffo and the pitbull or some ridiculous name like that.

 

[marius_ma]

Best: i cant remember. I don't mind shakespeare though
Worst: Plenty e.g. CURRENTLY PRIDE AND PREJUDICE, LETTERS TO ALICE. THE WORST

 

[PH011]

Best: The Catcher in the Rye, closely followed by 1984
Worst: Jane Eyre, closely followed by Pride & Prejudice, unbearably boring

 

[Ryan_T90]

Best: The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger or Animal Farm by George Orwell (Year 9 & 10)
Worst: Emma by Jane Austen (currently doing it, Year 11, it is so fucking shit)

 

[LoveHateSchool]

Worst: wow so many! My least favourite two though would probably be Mouldy's Orphan and Tess D'Urbeivilles.
Bestrobably Dragonkeeper

Many books other people have read through HS I think are really good books, like Animal Farm.

 

[LoveHateSchool]

Omg so many people are doing Emma like me atm, and doing othello next.

 

[ZombieApocalypse]

Worst: that eye the sky- Tim Winton.
Best: None. I hate all the novels my school chose.

 

[Absolutezero]

Worst: Educating Rita - Willy Russell (blurgh..... the whole play literally takes place in a room......... I wanna vomit when I see/hear no GREEN scenery).

Best: The Curious Incident of the Dog In the Night-Time - Mark Haddon (best combination of drama + humour)

Educating Rita can get boring at times, but its not because the action only takes place in one room. Some of the best plays of read never change their setting.
