Well... to each his (or her) own.

Sorry, I wasn't referring to language, but to the narrative style. It annoys me (too much, probably) when authors spend so much time spelling out things that are already obvious. And I don't like it when everything is too obvious, when everything is said and explained, when there is no ambiguity, in short when there is no space for my imagination to fill. That's what I meant by "not very well written".
