Abandoned Books

We all have our own reasons to abandon books. So why do authors keep on writing books like this? I don't know. I'm going to list some of the reasons I abandon books.

Slow beginnings. These kill me because of how impatient I am. When authors start off books with boring description of setting and things like that, you don't want to keep reading. I prefer beginnings with good opening lines and beginnings that are about the characters not setting.

Another reason I abandon books are because there is barely any dialogue. Books with only description and thought have no action or interaction between people. I like dialogue because you can get a feel for what the character is like. Sometimes there is too much dialogue and it is difficult to keep track of what is happening.

I also abandon books when it takes a long time to figure out what is happening. Sometimes I feel like books go on and on about random stuff and I sit there like "what is happening"? They get to confusing going into the specific details or sometimes change what they are talking about randomly.

Why else do you abandon books? Comment below.
