- badly edited
- badly proofread
- incorrect foreign language words/sentences
- badly written prose (Dan Brown)
- stilted, unnatural sounding dialogue (e.g. Stieg Larsson)
And I think that's it. If the author know her (or his) craft and writes well, I'm not so picky about subject-matter. When done well, I love heavily descriptive prose - but only when done well, and that's a rarity.
