I get lost in too lengthy of descriptions especially if it's filled with tons of big words that I don't even know the meaning of!<br /><br />I also get unnerved from stories who have all weird, hard to pronounce names for all their characters. My tongue gets tied and I find myself spending too much time trying to figure out how to pronounce the names that I tend to get bored with it.<br /><br />And lastly, stories that don't have enough action. I don't need to read about every single detail of a characters life. Get on with it and have something happen!! This especially bothers me when the character description is so lengthy at the beginning of the book. I don't mind a little characterization description at the beginning, then some action, then you can give me more about the character because you've hooked me by then!<br /><br />I'm a hard hooken' reader as far as novels go. I love to read, but it's got to be good or I'll just give up and go on to the next book.Allyn Stotzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00125021589041199877noreply@blogger.com
