I dislike greatly when an author tends to repent something along the book, like the recap in the mystery that was mentioned before, sometimes authors like to repeat some description or the connection between some characters or whatever, I found it annoying, it was said before so why repeat it? For me the only reason to do so is to write a longer book so the chances that I’m going to read another book from that author are greatly diminished.
I read fiction and sometimes I also skim the scenes that are to descriptive, when it is about something that I don’t really care about and that ads nothing to the book, like the detailed wardrobe of someone, also don’t want to read about sports, I’ve come across some books where the character played some kind of sports, I don’t want to read a scene detailing a sports game , with all the rules and whatever, when they talk about innings and goals, I can’t make sense of it has I don’t know the sport and let’s face it I don’t care enough to try to understand it, so I jump right through that.
Someone talked about architectural details, for me it a bit the opposite, if I read that the house was a cape cod house I wouldn’t know what the house looked like, so I need a little more detail than that to envision it, that being said I don’t expect the author to detail the house in several pages, just a paragraph with a description is enough for my imagination.
