Lamest thing I've ever read...

[Shard]

It was Back to the Future, the book based on the movie. I was about ten, maybe a little younger and I thought it was dumb even then. I got rid of it after a few chapters. At the time I still had Little Golden Books from pre-school on my bookshelf that embarrassed me less. Howzaboutyou?

I once read a novelization of Mega Man 2. It was pretty lame.

A picture book based on The Legend of Zelda. My friend has it.

OMG ME TOO!!!

And Sonic the Hedgehog novelizations. And comics. So many comics...

Re: Lamest thing I've ever read...

There was also, like, this really serious novelization of Super Mario Bros. that I can barely remember. A friend had it, and they were, like, trapped in sewers and had to eat a magic mushroom or something.

Aladdin, the novelization of the Disney movie. As I recall, it was written entirely in cursive italics.

Oh man Worlds of Power! I read MegaMan II, Simon's Quest, Blaster Master, and Wizard and Warriors.

I loved them.

I was an idiot.

Re: Lamest thing I've ever read...

I never got roped into any of those novelizations. I read some of An American Tale, but I knew to stop soon.

Re: Lamest thing I've ever read...

I also remember worlds of power... I had the Simon's Quest "book." I didn't really care for it, so I didn't get the rest.

I think I still have "ultimate NES tips and tricks volume II" somewhere... most of it wasn't that great, but some of the codes were helpful.

Re: Lamest thing I've ever read...

I'm ashamed to admit that I read Men in Black when the movie came out. Ugh. I mean... ugh.

Jane Eyre.

Re: Lamest thing I've ever read...

Oh, yeah. "Real" books.

Jim the Boy was a waste of paper. And Song of Solomon wasn't good until the last two pages.

Anpao. That was a terrible book.

Spaceballs: The Novel

I just had to make sure this was for real:
Spaceballs: The Book
(And it only costs $.01!)

Myself? Well, there are those Pokemon and Kirby comics that Nintendo Power had. It's not so bad when other comics have issues based directly off of the TV series, but Nintendo had a much better track record with awesome comics like Super Mario Adventures and Super Metroid. I mean, each Kirby comic was essentially half of the TV episode, and both the Pokemon and Kirby comics wound up being weeks and months behind the airing of the episodes they were based-- I mean copied off.

I suppose there was also the Captain Panet comics. I didn't buy any past the first two issues, which were also directly based off the TV series (right down to the "moral" at the end).

Holy crap, I read the Megaman 2 novelization as well.
