What's the worst book you've ever read all the way through?
Many moons ago. Complex bullshit is fascinating.
Basically this book and all of Dan Brown work in my opinion.

His books are all the same aren't they? I read the Da Vinci Code as a kid, loved it, then later read Angels & Demons after, though it was great, then read the Lost Symbol, and it was a page turner, but I realized they all followed literally the exact same formula of le spooky masked villain and smug Langdon saving the day with a hot sidekick
Just off the top of my head, Warp Speed by Travis S. Taylor. Published by Baen in the period before vanity publishing to the Kindle through Amazon was possible, the book is about a author self-insert character who is super smart, super good at karate (he wins a martial arts tournament after getting his ribs broken) and mountain biking, and is just so superduper at everything he gets selected to be a astronaut and the shuttle commander becomes his girlfriend and he makes a perpetual energy machine with "miniature pistons." It reads like a 8th grader wrote it. I quit reading it when the mustache twirling "ree arr tark rike this" Chinese showed up and the space shuttle girlfriend rescued ~our hero~ by using a Harrier jet as a cargo airplane.
It makes John Ringo look like Alexandre Dumas.
