What makes a book seem bad to me? And what makes a novel well-written?
In this video, I discuss four aspects that I believe detract from a book's literary quality: rushed endings, stilted dialogue, characters who seem to exist solely to serve the plot, and novels that try to cover too many topics without truly exploring any of them in depth.
To illustrate, I'll present several pairs of books that excel or fall short in each of these areas.
I'm not trying to establish rules about what makes a book good or bad. These are simply some of the aspects I tend to look for.
What are the things that ruin a book for you? What makes a novel seem good or bad to you?
