On a somewhat lower pedestal: Eragon. What a hugely derivative poorly written piece of crap. I've run D&D campaigns with better dialogue and pacing than that.
Oh yes I agree! And I’m a huge dragon fan, so it was extremely disappointing. That one I gave up on after maybe 50 pages. I couldn’t get past the prose. So I didn’t even get to the heavily recycled tropes, but I did see the movie once and they were plenty obvious from that.
I got to "Barges? BARGES? We don't need no steenking BARGES" and threw the book away
