Has anybody read books they absoulutely hate? The two books I hate the most are King of the Wind and Justin Morgan had a Horse. They are both by Marguerite Henry and center around a fictional character who has something to do with a great horse.
In King of the Wind a boy named Agba is the main character who follows a horse named Sham who happens to be the Godolphin Arabian (actually called the Godolphin Barb) from Morrocco to Spain to France to England. In France Sham is sold and becomes a wood-cart horse, when actually this young version of the Goldolphin Barb is a water-cart horse; the way Sham gets to England in the book is because he slips pulling the cart up an icey-ramp and the driver is about to set a fire under Sham's tail and a man named Mr. Coke sees him and buys Sham. In England in the book Sham is sent to live with Mr. William after Mr. Coke's son-in-law Benjamin Biggle falls off of Sham, in reality the Godolphin Barb is passed onto Mr. William in Mr. Coke's will; the way Sham in the book gets to Gog Magog is because Agba is sent to jail and Lord Godolphin sees Agba and frees him then goes to Mr. Williams and buys Sham, in reality Lord Godolphin goes straight to Mr. Williams and buys the Godolphin Barb and names him the Godolphin Barb; in the book Sham fights with a stallion named Hobgoblin who is going to be bred to a mare named Roxanna, in reality the Godolphin Barb is a teaser for Roxanna who refuses Hobgoblin so the Godolphin Barb breeds with her instead; in the book Roxanna had three colts by Sham, in reality Roxanna had Lath and Cade and died shortly after Cade was born and another mare had Regulus. My final complaint about this book is that it call the Godolphin Barb, "Father of the Turf" when the Darley Arabian is the ancestor of more horses than the Byerley Turk or the Godolphin Barb.
I will say no more.

I have to be honest; I laughed at what happened to Dumbledore.  But yeah, I'm glad to see there are others out there who think the same as I do. ^^/

I hate any books that says hunters are hero. and animals are evil.
once I walk by a book store. I saw this book "in the wild" (translated. it's thai.) the cover was a human fighting with a tiger. I suddenly hate it. because they draw it like the human was the hero and the tiger was evil. for me it's just the opposite. I think the most evil thing in the world is human.
