I'm one of those who couldn't be bothered to finish the only
Connelly book
I've tried to read, and I probably am too quick to put aside
books that
don't grab me right away. I'm sure I miss some good ones. But
there are
just too blasted many other books waiting out there. I can't
force myself
to continue with one that I'm not enjoying. What about the
rest of you?
How far will you go in a book you really don't like before
giving up on it?
