Martin's Books That Were a Let-Down

This is a list of books that I was really looking forward to reading and really wanted to like but that turned out to be a let-down and a disappointment. (You'll see that I'm not keen on pre-20th Century literature or Doris Lessing's Canopus in Argos Archives!).
Listed in alphabetical order by title.
Hope you enjoy looking through the list!
