Five things that can make you dislike a good book

1. When your expectations are too high before you start reading the book.

I don’t know if I am the only person who feels like this but it happens so often for me. If I am seeing book everywhere and see how people enjoy it or are excited about it, the thought sticks to my mind and with each opinion, picture or post about the book I have a higher expectation about the book. I have a picture in my head about this book before I start to read. When I am finally reading a book I have in the back of my mind that it book needs to be amazing and I am waiting for a moment that will surprise and strike me down. If I don’t receive from the book, even if the book is great I can’t enjoy it as much as I would without all these thoughts about it before. I don’t know if it makes sense for you but it happens very often to me.

2. When the writing style of an author isn’t as good as the story.

The writing style is a very important part of the book. It needs to be authentic and express well the feelings of the characters so the readers can find their self in the book. If the writing is too rush and flat it can easily ruin the book. I read a few books like this and I enjoyed them but I felt like I cannot connect with the characters because I couldn’t feel any emotions from them. However, if the characters overreact everything it’s also too much. I understand that one of the characters is like this but if every person in the book is like this then something is wrong with it. Another part of it that can ruin the good book is when the main characters are very irritating. The book can be a masterpiece but if the main character irritates me I can’t like or enjoy the book. I have too many irritating people in my life I don’t need them in my books.

3. When you hear too many bad opinions about a book.

It happens very often that the book I like has a lot of bad opinions. It’s fine, every single person like a different book. The only problem is when I’m reading too many bad opinions about the book and when I finally read the book I am just looking for a bad side of it. I see every single thing that people mention and I can’t enjoy it anymore as I would do without it. I am so glad I didn’t do it before I read any of Throne of Glass books. I love these books but I know that a lot of people didn’t like it as much as I did. I learned my lesson though and I am trying to avoid reading about the book before I start reading them.

4. When the continuation of the book isn’t as good as you expected it to be.

I thing everyone met this problem. It happens so often that the continuation of the book you like doesn’t meet your expectations. I really would rather if the author would finish the story within one or two books without expending it. It can bring a bad taste to the books you liked. It happened so many times to me that I stooped liking a book only because the next books were not good enough.

5. When you read too many spoilers about the book and it doesn’t surprise you in anymore.

Spoilers can both discourage you to continue reading a book or encourage you to continue. It happens very often that you scroll down the timeline of twitter or pinterest and you bump into the spoilers for the book you are currently reading. I think one or two are not doing much damage but more can already ruin you the whole view of the book, especially when you don’t like what will happen. The worst thing is to spoil yourself the ending because it’s always the best part of the book and to be honest if it’s not surprising for me, I will be very disappointed.
