Was The Pearl mentioned? That's worse that Dora The Explorer's ABCs.

Even my teacher who made us read The Pearl hates it! He says it's probably the worst book ever!

Have you guys ever read Centennial by James A Michener? It was supposed to be an Old West book, but he spends several chapters detailing the prehistoric, phosphoric conditions that would eventually become the terrain of Oklahoma across several thousand years, so it's pretty much the book to read if you hate yourself.

If by "good" you mean "undeserving of its widespread acclaim," then yes.
