Can you name some worst famous novels based on reader reviews?

Sure. 'The Golden Compass' movie is often regarded as one of the worst. The film made some significant changes to the source material, which made the story hard to follow for those familiar with the novel. It also failed to build a strong connection with the audience, despite having an interesting concept from the book.

According to reviews, 'Wuthering Heights' is a great romance novel. The love between Heathcliff and Catherine is intense and complex. In contrast, some of the e - books that are free and have little to no promotion are often not very good. They might have poor grammar, a rushed plot, and characters that are not well - developed. For example, a story that jumps from the first meeting to love without any proper build - up just to reach the happy ending quickly.

Some people think that 'Dear John' by Nicholas Sparks also falls into the category of worst romance novels. The plot is rather melodramatic and the relationship between the characters seems forced at times. Another example could be some of the Harlequin - style novels from the past that had very formulaic plots and shallow characters.

There's also 'Novel Y' which had a really bad translation. The English version was full of grammar mistakes and the cultural references were completely lost in translation. This made it very difficult for non - native speakers of the original language to understand the story, and even native speakers found it hard to enjoy due to the clumsy translation.

Another one could be 'Gulliver's Travels'. While it has some interesting ideas, the constant repetition of Gulliver's adventures in different lands can get boring. After a while, it feels like the same pattern is being repeated over and over again.

Sure. 'To Kill a Mockingbird' by Harper Lee is a well - known reality - based novel. It deals with issues of racism and injustice in the American South. Another one is '1984' by George Orwell, which reflects on totalitarianism and the power of the state over individuals. 'The Color Purple' by Alice Walker also falls into this category as it portrays the life of African - American women in the early 20th century.

Sure. 'The Thorn Birds' by Colleen McCullough is a genealogy based novel that tells the story of the Cleary family over several decades. It explores themes of love, family, and sacrifice. Also, 'Middlemarch' by George Eliot has elements of genealogy as it weaves together the lives of different families in a provincial town, showing how their family backgrounds influence their actions and relationships.

It's also possible that some lesser - known musicals might fit this criteria. However, without more specific information, it's difficult to accurately name all of them. There could be regional or more niche musicals that were based on novels from 1900 but didn't gain wide - spread international fame like 'Grease' or 'A Little Night Music'.

I think 'The Mortal Instruments' series has some issues. The plot gets really convoluted as the series progresses. There are so many characters and sub - plots that it becomes hard to follow. And the world - building isn't as consistent as it could be.

Sure. 'Plan 9 from Outer Space' as a novel (based on the equally bad movie). It has a really silly premise and the writing doesn't do much to salvage it. There's no real depth to the alien invaders concept.
