The Swarm by Frank Sch盲tzing. It was so boring that I wanted to do anything else in the world...I would have welcomed scraping out my oven and cleaning that instead of reading that godforsaken book!
I don't even know how someone can make a piece of literature THAT lame! 馃槓

@SW-User Here's the description that I read that led me to buy this garbage:
"Whales begin sinking ships. Toxic, eyeless crabs poison Long Island's water supply. The North Sea shelf collapses, killing thousands in Europe. Around the world, countries are beginning to feel the effects of the ocean's revenge as the seas and their inhabitants begin a violent revolution against mankind. At stake is the survival of the Earth's fragile ecology鈥攁nd ultimately, the survival of the human race itself.
The apocalyptic catastrophes of The Day After Tomorrow meet the watery menace of The Abyss in this gripping, scientifically realistic, and utterly imaginative thriller."
Sounds cool, right? Definitely not.
I don't know what the author did, but it was so horrible and dry. I'm not one to abandon books half-way in, but with this one, I would've seriously have had a root canal done instead of reading it to the end! 馃槃
