This weeks Question:
How do you handle a book you don’t like? Do you DNF or do you power through?
I try and get through it. It's very rare that I DNF a book. It took me over a year to finish Queen of the Damned, but I did. Hated it too. I think it's more of a curiousity is killing my cat kind of thing. BUT I always give an honest review. Like my blog says - I write about how books rock and suck. Some people may not like my opinion, but it's there none the less.
I loved Queen of the Damned, but it was one very long book. The movie sucked.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I'll set a book aside for a couple of months and see if a fresh perspective will make me like the book. Sometimes on the second or third try, the book becomes enjoyable. :)

I agree. Sometimes it takes me a while to finish a book just because I set it aside. New follower via GFC.

I usually DNF. If I stay, it's only for the characters. New follower, I'm #16 :)
ReplyDeleteI admire you for sticking to a book, I have a tendency to reach a point and DNF!

Usually I will give it 50-100 pages but it has to be fast-paced to keep my interest. I admire you for sticking with a book for a year but for me, I just don't have the time. I have my own writing and so many other books on my tbr pile to work through. Saying that, I do only have 1 DNF :)

I hate to not finish a book. It does happen occasionally though. I always give it my best effort before giving up.
