What is a highly recommended book you read and hated?

I’ll start…

For months everyone kept recommending The Never King in all of my reading groups. I finally caved and read it. It was terrible, but that’s my unpopular opinion!

Brideshead Revisited. I thought the first half was good. I thought the second was shit. And my overall assessment of the book was low.

Otherwise, not many. There are some I've tried to read but haven't gotten very far (like Ulysses). But most highly-esteemed books that I've read, I've at least enjoyed to some degree.
