A recent example I can give was an 'urban fantasy' where the main character quickly came across as being Too Silly To Live. Usually I persist with books, but I couldn't this time after only a few chapters.
An instant turnoff happens if I read the blurb and find I can't pronounce most of the names (usually because of a million apostrophes the author has decided to stick in). :-p
