A couple of mine: Not TOO cerebral. I don't want to have to learn physics or chemistry to understand the novel. Too many plots (sub) in one book. HATE it when I don't like a character but the next chapter is "him"...so I just skip the chapter! Kind of counter-productive, eh? Replays of the latest real-life (read celebrity) events, changing the names to protect the...who? Constant conflict. No one / nothing is in "tension" forever. Some downtime (normalacy?) is needed for relief. The last three paragraphs of resolution just don't cut it. (though it's likely I might not make it that far...constant tension makes me agitated and I quit reading!) Don't like to be made to feel stupid. If I want that I'll pick up a textbook. A condescending tone directed toward the reader doesn't win any points with me.
