This week's topic is: Top 5 Petty Reasons You've DNF'd a Book
*in no particular order
5. SPEECH--sometimes if a character talks in a certain way, constantly, in a way too repetitive way. It gets on my nerves and I will either reduce the rating or DNF it if it becomes too extreme.
4. SLOW PACE--if the book is just moving way, way too slowly, I will more than likely just DNF it. If it's taking forever to get to the actual plot, I'm out.
3. TSTL CHARACTERS--I don't see this too often, but if the hero/heroine is just too stupid to live and making increasingly bad choices, I'm likely to reduce the rating. Possibly DNF or I might fast forward just to see if they get offed! Unlikely if it is first person POV.
2. ARROGANCE--if the hero/heroine is just too arrogant, I'm likely to DNF it right then and there. Sure, a little boasting or bragging is fine. But if it keeps continuing on, I'm out.
1. REPETITIVENESS--if something gets constantly repeated I may DNF it, if not, a greatly reduced rating would be happening. I read a book once where a character made the same noise like 3 times on one page and it was something like laughter or hiccups and it just grated on my nerves!
I couldn't think of much for this one, but I am likely to find 5 more things after I read everyone else's posts! Lol.
