9 Total Book Fails That Drive Me Crazy

12/10/2014

I love books, but there are a few things that when they occur in a book, mark it down as a total fail in my opinion. 

1. Instalove: Is there anything more annoying? The characters just meet and talk about how deeply in love they are. #Seriously? You just met two paragraphs ago!

2. Stalker Love: This was huge with Edward in Twilight. A guy sneaking into a woman's room at night to watch her sleep is not sweet, it's creepy!

3. Perfection: I understand that no one wants to read about ugly characters, but do all the characters have to be goodlooking, wealthy, and have a delightful personality? Let them have one flaw at least! A temper, a cowlick, something!

4. All Sex and No Story: I'm no prude, but instasex ranks right up there with instlove. Throw it in with instalove and it's a complete recipie for disaster! Can you at least describe the characters first? Or at least mix it in? 

5. Predictable: If I can already guess the ending by the end of chapter one, it is a total fail. Even if I hope the hero and herroine get together, I want the to be challenges along the way to keep me interested.

6. Too Short: I hate it when a story feels rushed and hurried. This is a book, not a trip to McDonalds.

7. Too Long: On the opposite side of #6 are books that are too long. Please don't take three pages to describe one article of clothing.

8. It's All A Dream Ending: Okay, this wasn't a good idea when the original Dallas did it with Bobby Ewing's death and it still sucks.

9. Cliff Hangers: These are fine when leading from one book to another in a series, but when it happens in s stand alone...It's just annoying.

Do you have any total book fails you would like to add?
