Maximum Ride
While we were at Costco the other day I picked up a paperback copy of Maximum Ride, largely on the basis of the cover illustration and the back cover blurb, not realizing it was "teen fiction."
In fact, my conclusion a couple chapters in was that the writing was horribly sophomoric, the story trite and predictable, and the characters completely arch-typical and cliche.
Having finished the 400-odd page novel, I feel confident in saying that I played deeper games of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles while in High School.
Meh.

Ack - picked up the same book, same place a few weeks ago, just hadn't gotten around to reading it yet. Thanks for the warning.
