The Lamest Authors of All Time

3,751 views 24 items

There are always going be writers (and books) some folks just don't like. Books, and the skills of the people who write them, are definitely at the mercy of a person's subjective opinion. However, there are some writers whom most of us can pretty much agree are just not very good writers. Sure, the writers on this list have attained popularity and success (somehow), but for a lot of people that fact is one of the mysteries of the universe. This is a list of the people whose qualities as writers are hotly debated... the people who wrote books that may have been published and sold in large quantities... but whose talents seem questionable. Vote for your most hated and rank them as you see fit. Make sure to add anyone you think deserves to be listed here.
