Seriously, Ted? Granted, it's an experiment, and it won't be everyone's cup of tea, but to call this the worst (superlative, not comparative) Booker ever is more a comment on your taste than on the book. Give it some time.
By the way, my vote for the worst Booker ever is The Famished Road by Ben Okri. Unfinishable.
Better luck in the future. I do commend you for giving the Booker list your time. Cheers!

The stupid rantings of the supposed occupants of the Bardo was
awful and dull. Its alarming to think such a book could make the Booker Longlist no mind win it ! There are so many really good Booker winners but avoid this one.
