Dr. Drib started this thread by giving some examples of bad writing, so here's one from Twilight:

"Aro started to laugh. "Ha, ha, ha," he chuckled."

Talk about redundancy...Meyer has told us three times in one short sentence that Aro was amused. Not a book I'm about to read, but my 12 yo daughter enjoyed the series for a bit, then got bored with it.
Argon is, AFAIK, fantasy fiction written by an earnest teenager who was really startlingly, hilariously bad at writing. It circulates in fandom as possibly the worst written story ever. Most bad writing isn't that entertaining, though.
