We readers want to love every book we read. Sometimes, however, no matter how hard we try to focus on a book's strengths, its weaknesses are too much to bear, and we can read no further. Though a sense of shame may shroud the DNF, there's no shame in taking the opportunity to flex our critique muscles and analyze what went wrong.

So that's what I'm doing today with all six of my DNF books of 2024. Are any of these books so offensive to my literary senses that they deserve the dumpster? No. But do they leave something to be desired? Very much so.
