Book Riot - What Books Do Readers Find Most Confusing?

 Yesterday, I came across an interesting article published on Book Riot's website titled, What Books Do Readers Find Most Confusing? by Kelly Jenson.

In the article, Kelly Jensen wrote the following:

To start, the team at Aura Print generated a seed list of titles from multiple sources, including the 100 bestselling books, as well as other resources like user-generated lists of “confusing books” and book-to-screen adaptation lists. They also sought titles that appeared among the best selling and highest rated in outlets like The New York Times, Amazon, and Goodreads. The team then searched each of those books on Goodreads and stuck to titles with 50,000 or more reviews. From there, they searched the reviews of each title for the word “confusing.” It’s a pretty straightforward methodology, focusing on reviews that readers write for themselves and for other book lovers on the site, if not all together the most scientific.

So what topped the list of most confusing books?

The most confusing book according to Goodreads users was Onyx Storm by Rebecca Yarros. Over 8,000 of the reviews include the word “confusing” to describe their experience with the book.

Click on the top link to read the full article and to view which books made the list. I was surprised to find many classics made the list, like Little Women and Fahrenheit 451.

The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton made the list as well. I've read this novel and although I found it to be a unique read, it was difficult to keep track of the characters and the storyline.

Have you read any of the novels in the list of books seen in the above article? Did you find any of them confusing? Which other books would you add to the list of confusing books?
