Guys: what turns you off to reading a specific book? At what point is there too much "girly stuff" in it to make you not want to read (and please cite something other than the hot-pink "teen" books; they make me nauseous too), or does this seem to happen by default when there is a female protagonist?
I'm mostly curious because (using what's becoming a handy example for anything), for example, the Harry Potter series has a male protagonist, yet appeals to children of both genders. However, I couldn't think of an example on the other side: where there is a female protagonist, yet the story appeals to people of both genders.
