I tend to give novels a lot of leeway, though I know what you mean; I do get pickier with novels after all the bad fanfic, but then I'm thrice pickier with fanfic. Besides, in the case of 'those' kinds of novels with the 'clear' didactic writing style, it's not the personal descriptions alone, it's how every piece of info is ham-handedly and constantly highlighted as 'important'. Also, I think I can always tell well-written personal description from not-so-much :>
