Question:

What writing device or trick most irritates you when reading a book? For example, if an author employs an omnipotent narrator that is sometimes considered bad form.

Answer:

I don't like long morals at the end of the novels.  Those should be implied as part of the story, not told as long dialogues at the end.

Also, some characters introduced in the middle of the novel, which will contradict some part of the earlier story - like some teacher/brother immediately appearing to help at the end, who was never mentioned before..I don't like it.

So, what is your answer?

Follow me and comment below, so that I can follow you back!  Thanks for stopping by and happy weekend to everyone!

  1. Hopping through. I agree that major moral statements can ruin a book - like Little Women.

  6. I've never read one with a moral at the end in a long dialogue :o But it's also irritating when a moral is pushed on the reader, rather than subtly placed in the text.

  9. I like your answer - different from the so many oft repeated ones!
    The entry of new character is just very convenient, I don't like it either.
