Right im reading this book and at parts im enjoying it then it drags and im finding im bored,would you plod on or ditch it,im so torn cause i want to know what happens but some parts seem so drawn out and not needed here is the book im currently 30% through it lol http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12368985-consequences Judging by the comments i must be reading a differant book lol
don't cha hate it when that happens? it does sounds like an interesting book - but i guess not so much.
It takes a LOT for me to give up on a book - it's the stubborn part of me I guess. I have to absolutely hate it to not finish it. Some I've regretted wasting my time; others I've been glad I didn't give up.
There are definitely some mixed reviews on that book aren't there? They do seem mostly positive though keeping in mind the abduction/hostage subject matter. Sounds interesting, Karen. Keep us updated.
Sometimes its better to just struggle through and finish it just to find out what happens - I had to do that with a series I just started called Vampire Huntress - Minion. I seriously had to MAKE myself finish it (the language the MCs use is SO annoying!!!) but I'm glad I persevered even though I can't make myself LIKE the book because at least I can say I read it even though I only gave it 2 stars
this is totally me!! I rarely don't finish. I just keep plugging away chanting "I think I can.." constantly lol! GL!!! let us know what you do!
Well you lot are no help I plodded on a bit more and mite pick it up again in an hour when gabbi goes to bed maybe if I read it during the day while I'm not tired may make me enjoy it more
This is me too, I can't remember the last book I gave up on, I always just grit my teeth and get through it because I HAVE to know what happens! Hope it gets better for you soon! P.S. Ordered that new Kindle yet?!
Si is buying it me for Christmas Kate,how about you,I'm carrying on for that reason cause I want to know what happens lol
If you don't like it, let it go. I will give a book a few tries to get better, and if I still don't like it, I move on. I have three or four on my "currently reading" list on Goodreads that are like that. I wish there was an option on there for "didn't finish". Anyway, I figure my reading time is precious, so why waste it on a book I don't like.
Lisa you can add a folder for gave up reading I have one with 1 book in lol,I plodded on I'm now half way it's a bit better but still not exciting lol and I just discovered there's a sequel :0
I just finished a book that started off really great but was sooooo boring in the middle... It got a tad better in the end, but I won't recommend it to anyone to put it that way Yuck! lol Now I'm about to start The Kitchen House! Yay!
My husband will suffer through a boring book, too. I just thought he was adverse to happiness but apparently this epidemic is more prevalent than I realized. I would walk away, personally. I suffered through Anna Karenina many years ago and hated myself for it, so it's a mistake I vowed never to repeat. Be a quitter!
I have a mantra "Life's too short to read bad books!"! If it's awful, I read the end to see if it redeemed itself, then it's off to the next one.
i'm like julie... im a book commiter. it has to be nasty full of cuss words or disgustingness or just plain plain awful for me to stop reading a book
