Books that I don't finish are those of the category "not to be lightly tossed aside but flung violently across the room". I will struggle with bad writing if the story is good, but if the story is bad (which is not the same as either boring or predictable) I won't finish it and I won't take it to a charity shop.

Historical novels are particular offenders: putting present day attitudes into the past will produce a bruised wall every time.
