I like a fluid prose, with action and description in good measure. When a book starts to be overdescriptive and, specially, if the author tries too hard to impress us with their vocabulary and exagerating with the adjectives... That's a major turn off for me.
If I wanted an entire page describing how blue and beautiful is the sky, in the middle of a police chase, I would rather read poetry.
