I could go for Twilight but I think that's too easy an answer.
Instead I'm going to say Wuthering Heights, I found the characters to be completely unlikeable and unrelatable. Cathy is a total brat and may very well be my least favourite heroine ever (yes she's WORSE than BELLA) I felt a great amount of pity for Linton when he married her. Heathcliff probably has SOME justification in being angry and bitter but not enough to justify being as cruel and psychotic as he is, thinking it's a good idea to dig up your dead lover is never a healthy reaction to anything. The second generation characters Hareton, Cathy and yes Linton(seriously someone should have bought EB a book of names or some shit as a present) aren't any better each one of the little shits should have been drowned at birth.
The only thing I took away from this book was if you ever get the urge to bring home a weird kid called Heathcliff, get a cat instead.

I totally agree! I try to read over and over again Wuthering Heights but I just hate it... you're right!
Cormac McCarthy's "The Road" is part of the senoir English curriculum at my school. I didn't just hate that book, I loathed it. All because, in 300 pages, NOTHING HAPPENS. There was no plot. It was just a series of somewhat related events in a post-apocalyptic world. And the dialogue wasn't written correctly either. I could barely stomach it. It takes a lot for me to hate a book. Let's just say this: I'm a lifelong Potterhead and I thought Twlight was okay.
OTHER BOOKS I HATED
Of Mice and Men
Catcher in the Rye

You hated "Of Mice and Men" but thought "Twilight" was okay? wow...
Ethereal by Addison Moore
Sounded like it was written by a five year-old. The plot was bad, the grammar was deplorable, and the characters were totally unbelievable.
The one book I could never stand in high school was "Animal Farm" by George Orson. It's about communism told through animals. It does sort of have that "Lord of the Flies" feel without any of the good parts or characterization. All you get are two pigs one apply name Napoleon and the stories scapegoat Snowball. There's one loud mouthed duck and a lame horse if I remember correctly. Napoleon convinces all the other animals he's right Snowball is out and the book just drags.... forever.
Other bad books are The Crucible, and Death of the Salesman.
