Solar Bones by Mike McCormack was really bad. It was meant to be 'experimental' but it was literally just a very boring story with, get this, no punctuation (an 'experiment' first conducted about a hundred years ago). There were literally pages and pages where the narrator complained about a building with poorly poured concrete foundations at one point (yes, really). It was quite short, so I got through it, but it was just totally pointless!
