Pet Peeves in Novels Somebody Else wrote...

2 pages of info dump, mid-scene, about the history of the Louvre.

Cardboard characters that bore me to death.

Predictable and cliche plot twists -- like, yeah, the girl has a terminal illness... I can smell that from 150 pages away...

Sudden "and then he dies" plot twists that come from the left field and serve no purpose other than make you cry.

Unbelievable situations -- sure the guy can drop 2000 feet from the sky and not a scratch on his body...

Sex scenes that are not sexy or overly metaphorical... Ee put what where?

Incessant mumbling with internal dialogue...

Sci-fi with inplausable science.
