Every reader has things he doesn’t like in a book. Especially
since there are so many books out there. So today I’d like to share with you
the things I don’t like in a book. Most of the time anyway. 😀
Characters Changing There Mind For No Good Reason:
What I really dislike in a book is when a character with
a certain opinion changes his mind all of sudden. Unfortunately this happens
too many times. I love strong characters. But when a strong characters has an
opinion and it changes without a good reason. I just find it unbelievable, and
I lose interest in the character. I think it is the same in real life for me. If
you have a certain opinion and someone for example tells you a totally
different opinion you should have a discussion about it or just keep your separated
opinions. Not totally forget the way you thought before.
Too Sweet:
romance, I read historical romance, I read romantic suspense. I read pretty
much every kind of romance novel out there. And I love doing so. It’s just so
much fun to read about two people falling in love. And I especially love the
fairy tale kind of romance stories. Sigh.. But what I really do not like is
characters being too sweet and mushy with each other. It just feels fake to me
and I really dislike it. So what is too sweet you ask? Well.. if character’s
just met they really don’t need to start about love, and gorgeous eyes and..
Blegh.. Nope. That is not for me.
Cheating:
and when I read a book about cheating, I will put it down. Of course there are
exceptions, but if a supposedly good character cheats and keeps doing it. I
definitely will stop reading the book. It’s a big no for me.
Too Many Main Characters:
read, but also in real life. It takes me a long time to remember names. So when
I’m reading a book and there are so many main characters with, I really don’t
like it because I won’t be able to keep them a part. Especially when the names
are similar. I just keep mixing up the names. Of course I can write them down,
but the flow of the book will be gone for me.
Bad Clues:
thrillers, cozy mysteries etc. I’m usually finding out who did it when the author really writes
it down. But sometimes there are these clues in books that make it perfectly
clear what is going on. I must be a damn good book to keep my interest after
that happens, because what is the fun if you get the clue immediately.
