What’s the worst book you had to read in high school?

Maybe the Awakening. Woman cheats on her husband, and when people tell her she needs to behave and be normal, she swims out into the Gulf of Mexico to drown. The End

I don't think I ever read more than 40% of any book we were assigned in HS.
SparkNotes, context clues, and essay questions made high school super easy. You rock, Louisiana public schools!

I bet nobody from Louisiana or Texas lists the manual they got in drivers’ ed, because nobody from those states read that book.

Their Eyes Were Watching God. I think thats the book I had to read in AP English that was written in Ebonics. It was painful to read.
That might not be the right book, but we had to read one written in Ebonics and it was terrible.

Summer reading before 8th grade. The book was called “The Secret of Sarah Revere”. Worst book ever written.

I’m going to catch a lot of downvotes, but having a high school sophomore read Animal Farm was torture. I understood the premise of the book, but when my teacher said, “You have to imagine it’s not animals speaking.” I just couldn’t do it.
Orwell is one of the best writers of the 20th century, but as a 15 year old, I couldn’t see it.

My soph lit teacher was a big metaphysical poetry fan. She asked my opinion of John Donne and I said he clearly had a drug problem. Threats were made.

The Scarlett Letter.
Hawthorne wrote in these ridiculous run on sentences that took up half a page when he could have described his point just as easily in a 10 words.
This combined with the English of the times made it an excruciating read.

Tale of Two Cities was just so slow to get going. The premise and overall story are great but it's a painful journey trying to read through it.
