I think I’m skipping this weeks top ten tuesday but your list is so spot on. I hate hate hate bad grammar and unclear stakes so much. Also unreasonable anger … and when characters don’t say what they want.
I’ve pretty much stopped reading fiction because I find a lot of the plots to be really stupid, or boring, or way too detail oriented. I much prefer memoirs these days, though I’m sure the grammar is not much better! It’s funny cause I can watch unrealistic movies all the time, but my tolerance for it in books is much lower.
Oh man it is totally frustrating when characters don’t say what they want. I just read a book that the guy was dying to tell the girl something and she refused to let him so they had all these misunderstandings and it was making me crazy!
A big, resounding YES to bad grammar! I call myself a Grammar Nazi because I’m just that particular about it, so when I read books where there are missed words, improper punctuation or terrible grammar mistakes, I cringe.
Great list!
I included bad grammar on my list as well. I can’t stand when books contain grammatical mistakes. I mean, how many people proof-read books before they are published? They should not forget a single comma, misspell a word, or include an incorrect verb tense because readers WILL notice.
