Atonement. Utterly unconvincing as narrated by a female. Boring, long-winded, overly-complicated.

I would recommend, 'Earthlings,'' by Sayaka Murata (sorry) but with the biggest proviso ever. If you have trigger issues with a***e you might want to stay well clear

Any thriller where the narrator straight up lies to you. An unreliable narrator is good, but there has to be an actual reason why they are not being entirely truthful.
I read a book where the majority of it, the narrator is being d*****d without his knowledge, so he's unsure of whether he's actually seeing things or not, but the whole thing started with a blatant lie that pissed me off. "I'm petting my dog while on the phone with my wife who may be getting m******d" becomes "oh actually I was hiding in the bushes nowhere near my dog, attempting to m****r my wife, while on the phone with her".
Not saying the name for obvious spoiler reasons, but not the first book I read last year where the crime was just a complete lie up until the end where, oh silly me, I actually did it.

“House of Leaves”. Supposedly a genre-defying cult classic. I love horror and especially unpredictable and unusual horror but I found this almost unreadable. A potentially interesting story buried under a lot of pretentious, boring nonsense that added nothing to the narrative. I struggled to the end but was not rewarded by anything of interest.

Mud bound. Had to read it for a book club, ended up really mad at the dude that suggested it for making me read something so unrelentingly miserable and horrifying.

Forrest Gump. How they made such a good movie out of such a terrible book is beyond me.

It is a very popular book, but I didn't enjoy it at all. I like Mexico and I like food, but not combined in this book.
