What detail of which book ruined it for you?
I'll give you and example ... maybe two:
Prince of Tides. Good book, but for the fact that they have the characters walking (1) on a beach, (2) in the summer, (3) at night, (4) looking at the constellation Orion.
And ... you can't freaking see Orion in the summer sky.
Or,
Carrie. Good book, but for the fact that Mr. King compares telekinesis to classic hemophilia in it's genetic causation ... and then states that hemophilia is caused by a low platlet count. (Oh .... sooooo WRONG.)
I'm talking about books where you were really and happily sucked into the story and then one piece of crappy editing slapped you back into reality.
