The Worst Book Ever
The Worst Book Ever | Elise Gravel
2 posts | 1 read
Elise Gravel wants to write a totally drab book; her characters want to let loose. Whos gonna win? Dont take the title as a metaphor: it really is the worst book ever. The winner of the Governor General Literary Award and childrens book author and illustrator Elise Gravel takes readers on an unexpected journey through the worlds most boring book in The Worst Book Ever. The characters and omniscient readers alike quickly become annoyed by the authors bland imagination and rebel against her tired tropes and stale choices, spouting sass in an attempt to get her attention and steer the narrative in a more interesting direction. After all, you dont even have to buy the book, but the characters? Theyre stuck in there for an eternity, and theyre going to do their best to make the most of it, or at least have a little fun when they can. As the charming and bizarre true nature of the characters overpowers the dry attributes given to them by the author, this once blas story quickly picks up speed, transforming into something much more unique than originally promised. With Gravels signature goofy characters behind the wheel, no silly twist or rude body function is off the table.

Question of the Day: What's the worst book you've ever read? #QotD

[ID: daily question in white text on a black and red background.]

BookishMarginalia Hands down, without question. I was forced to read it for a lit class in college. I think I even had to write about it. 🤢 3y
BookBr Probably The Origin of the Species by Nino Ricci — I found the characters so utterly odious I didn‘t even make it through a quarter of it… 3y
BookDragonNotWorm The Last Girl - can't remember the author. The first half was really good, centered around a plane crash, but the second half 🦨. So bad 3y
kathytrithardt Hahahah @BookDragonNotWorm I love the skunk emoji. I don't think I have that one on my phone. 3y
Tera66 A vampire romance called Strawberry 🍓, I listened to it and the narration made it worse😄 3y
