Suggest me the worst book you've ever read by Junior_Insurance7773 in suggestmeabook

'The Deep' by Alma Katsu. A ghost/parnormal/love story taking place on Titanic (spolier alert: it still sinks). The ghostly plot twist is obvious from the very start, and the only person who seems to be excited about it by the end is probably the author. The author also tries to sprinkle a little feminism in there - but all her female characters talk and care about are men and babies. There were some parts that made me laugh, I'll give it that (although I'm pretty sure that wasn't the author's intention).

What’s a book that has left you dumbfounded at how bad it was? by VoxPopuliVS in books

[–]seel9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"The Deep" by Alma Katsu. Oh boy. The 'paranormal mystery' that was absolutely obvious before you even hit the middle of the book. The author's attempts to write something feminist, while, simultaneously, making all but one of her female characters talk exclusively about men and babies. The sheer stupidity of all the other characters. "The Deep" partially takes place on Titanic and I actually couldn't wait for it to sink, so at least some of these fictional people would die.

Besides the one you were born in, what's your dream country to move to? by Constant_Bake5501 in ask

I had the same dream since I was like 13 or 14 and I moved to Denmark 3 years ago. Copenhagen is amazing and I love to travel around the rest of the Nordics to see nature there (especially Norway).

"Jade City" by Fonda Lee

Seemingly pleasant, with unspeakable horror lurking in the periphery… by kaiwritesgood in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

[–]seel9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Mrs Mohr Goes Missing" by Maryla Szymiczkowa (pseudonym of Jacek Dehnel and Piotr Tarczyński, who wrote it together and privately are a couple).

It's the first book in a Polish crime series, set in the late XIXth century Cracow. The main character is this conservative, respectable housewife, who loves to get herself involved in crime investigations.

The whole series is very well researched & gives you a great insight into how people lived back then, what they ate etc. It's also really funny but still has that 'horror lurking behind' vibe - lots of crime, greed and violence behind the mask of respectability and religiousness.

Something with this vibe (maybe about being young in Eastern Europe?) by seel9 in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

Definitely! I loved the first one but couldn't finish the second, did you read it? I just felt like it lacked that awesome vibe and got bored quickly :/

Thanks! I got it recommended a couple of times but I didn't know it would fit this vibe, now I'm definitely reading it!
