What’s the worst book you’ve read recently?
(I figure it’s easier than asking your all-time worst, because, well, it’s recent!)
I've been quite happy with my reading of late , although
'Black Coffee' was a little disappointing.
Over the past year the book which I was most unhappy reading was 'My Heart is my Own' by John Guy. It is a biography of Mary Queen of Scots. This is a lady I have always found fascinating , however, this book did not further that interest.
I'm sure there are many people out there who will extol it's virtues. For me it was hard to read and therefore I didn't complete it. It was not a novel and that is probably where the problem lay. I can't really call it the 'worst' book maybe the most difficult book in the last year.
I'm sure there are many historians who will be appalled at this post!

But anyway, I've been quite lucky with my reading and haven't abandoned any books recently. I haven't come across the books you mention, but do have two books on Mary Queen of Scots that I'm looking forward to reading - one by Antonia Fraser and the other by Alison Weir. I hope they are better than the one by John Guy.
