Bad Reviews

So, while I'm attempting to finish up my current read, I came across a twitter follower who posted about writing a bad review for a book.  I didn't ask her why the book was bad or why she wrote a bad review for it.  One thing that I will say is always be honest.  If you didn't like something, you didn't like it.  You can't win 'em all.   Maybe the writing itself wasn't all that bad, but maybe there were some parts in the book that you didn't like. As I've written before, I know we all have our certain quirks that get us when we're reading.  One of mine? When my hero or heroine cheats. I absolutely hate that in my stories because it's a ROMANCE BOOK.  On top of all that? It just makes me aggravated.  I know that I'm new to blogging but I have been reading books for a loong time.  If that happens, I will usually at least finish the book, but I will definitely tell you a thing or two after.  It has to be a really, really horrible book for me to ever not finish reading it.  What are some of your aggravations when you read?  What would make you give a book a bad review?  I look forward to hearing what you guys have to say.

  3. I don't like books that are predictable.. It's why I don't read romance books.. You can usually tell after reading the first chapter how it's going to play out..
    I like books that make me think..
    Oh, and I love the classics; Dickens, Shakespeare, Melville, Poe..
