What makes a reader decide to close a book before it’s finished? This last week I posted on several Facebook groups the following question. “What are the biggest turn offs, or main reasons you stop reading a book?” Boy did I get a lot of responses. Right now it’s somewhere around 800 comments, and new ones are still coming in. As a writer, you need to understand the audience, who they are, what they want, and more importantly, what they don’t want. We’ve all picked up a book and realized it wasn’t for us. According to my post, there are also tons of people who picked up a book that should have been for them, and yet they still put it down.
