Hooray! I've just completed the worst book I've ever read: The Fourth K by Mario Puzo. This incredible book has THE worst plot ever. Allow me to outline it for you:
* The President's daughter is kidnapped
* The Pope is shot dead
* The President's daughter is shot dead
* The President (who is a Kennedy relation) responds by bombing an entire city to ashes in some small Middle Eastern state. Totally and utterly destroys it. But don't worry, it was leafleted 24 hours earlier, so the only losers were the fat cat American investors. Hoorah!
* Two wizz kid scientists blow up a nuclear bomb in the middle of New York. Kennedy's assistant lets them do it so that Kennedy can win a second term
* 50 pages are spent on the President's new girlfriend
* 75 pages are spent on a mormon who is a bit wierd and good at shooting cardboard cutouts
* Some people have some sex
* Kennedy wins a second term. He is the most liberal President ever
* Kennedy proposes to set up labour camps in Alaska with the plan of forcing the inmates and the next few generations of their family to stay up there
* Kennedy passes an 99.9% perfect lie detector about the nuclear bomb, which he knew about
* Kennedy gets shot dead by the mormon
I don't really have much more to say about it then that. I don't think I have to. Awful.
