Tuesday Talks: How Soon Do You End a Book You Do Not LIke?

Hello, Fellow Book Worms and Book Dragons,

   Tuesday Talks is an wonderful group on Goodreads that is a weekly discussion forum created by BookTubers Janie Johnson and her pal, Janelle. It is a fun and active group in the book community to be a part of.

  This week's question is: Do you read a specific amount of pages before giving up on a book you are not enjoying?     
 
   I like to go at least sixty pages in before I make my decision. I feel that some books tend to be slow at first and then pick up. When I read a book I am not enamored with, I  feel I owe at least sixty pages before I make up my mind. I can bored with a book or even not like the characters. Other times it is the writing style that I do not like. I ran into a few books last year that were almost impossible to continue. I set them down and revisited then a few months later. I managed to finish a couple that I was having issue with. This did not change my thoughts on these books.

  One example was Chuck Wendig's Star Wars novel, Aftermath. I was not a fan of his "in the now" writing. But I read it with an audio book, and the production did make it better. After taking the time to look past my issues with the book, I found it held a lot of information, and furthered the story of some of my favorite characters. Finishing it was worth it.
