What is a book title that you think is ill conceived or really doesn't fit the book?

Oleksandr Zholud | 1476 comments Just this week I started Polish SFF magazine, Nowa Fantastyka 517 and one of non-fic articles (they are about 25-30% of each issue) discusses weird choices for some Polish titles of Wastern movies, SFF and others. Say, Terminator was (to translate back) 'An electric murderer'

She was a very passive character. Her younger brother was the most active character in the book.

Stephen Burridge | 233 comments The Jargoon Pard by Andre Norton. Ridiculous title. I have no idea what it means. It’s the next volume I haven’t read in the author’s “Witch World” series. I’m not a huge fan of Norton but I may try it some time, in spite of the title.
