I'm reading yet another bad book *sigh* I just skim the pages and I'm still able to follow most of the story. This one's for my bookclub.
Oh yes :( I've got another 150 pages left

You know a book is bad when you run out of books to read and you still don't want to give the book another try. :)
You know a book is bad when the main character dies and you smile.
you know a book is bad when you find yourself skipping paragraphs (then feeling guilty about it later, or is that just me?).
You know a book is bad when the MC contradicts her own values (calls guy a manwhore, sleeps with him on the next page. I'm looking at you, D.U.F.F)
when you hate the two main characters and want it to be more about the less important ones. (shiver series by Maggie Stiefvater)

I'm on forever..... well was haven't finished the book. I hate Grace and Sam I'm more interested in Isabel and Cole
You knew when a book is bad when the author doesn't know the balance of description and talking. I can barely read Maria V. Snyder books because of this, but I'm willing to give her shadow study a chance. If she still has this problem, I'm done with her.

The fourth book is purely about Cole if I remember correctly, but it was the worst of the series.

I have that problem with a few authors. It makes their books hard to get through.
@Sarah Rly? well once I finish forever (if I ever do) then imma check sinner out.
You know a book is bad (or at least boring) when you can barely read a paragraph of it without falling asleep.
When all you can think as you read it is "Man, my Goodreads review for this one might seem mean".
You know a book is bad when you realize the author can't even get into the mindset of the character
You know a book is bad when you won't finish it even though you bought it

when you dont even remember the characters name....
You know a book is bad when you start rereading a certain series for the tenth time and start reading a new book in fear of having to finish that other one...
When the dialog is less believable than the magic!
You know a book is bad when you can't stop pacing the floor until you figure out a different way for the story to go in your head!
You know a book is bad when the characters are SO UNDER-DEVELOPED AND STUPIDLY PERFECT!!!!
You know a book is bad when you rather spend time reading through 9 pages of YA Buddy Read discussion You Know A Book Is Bad When... rather than picking up where you left off in the book. If alcohol is the go-to substance to make you forget about your sorrow and worries, then this thread is my go-to page to distract me up from a bad book. Honestly, reading this is so much more entertaining than reading that book.
I agree with all the posts above! Especially about the main girls and her issues with "hot" guys. Nothing is so vexing than having the author build up this image of a strong, bad-ass female lead only to see her goggling and having difficulty breathing before a sack of muscles w/ a handsome face - or even better- a pair of "beautiful eyes" that is "out of this world." - ___ - seriously.

... it's only 226 pages and you've been working on it for over three months. (Although, to be fair, I don't really think it's a "bad book," it's just not my thing.)

Rowling but she and I have different opinions on this book.
You know a books is bad when there is no character and or story development. When it could have been planned out way much better and I feel like the book would have done better longer rather than shorter. I'm only at 10% and I don't want to mark it DNF, but honestly I don't think I will be able to finish it.

...when you have to spend so much time mentally correcting the grammar, spelling, punctuation, word choices and sentence structure that you can't keep track of the story line.

This is Where It Ends. I love the topic about the book and how there could be so many different possibilities.
Mod
Yes it was majorly insensitive of what I read. I'm quickly skimming the book. There's a lot of things wrong with it.
