The Book Thief by Markus Zusak, I hated how Death keeps spoiling everything. And when it was clear it was going to stay that way I dnfed halfway through. Otherwise, the novel would have been fine.

Any book by Neil Gaiman. Just can't vibe with his style and in turn couldn't get past ch 1 of Good Omens even though I like Terry Pratchett.
