I read The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle, and take enjoyed it. Read another book, then started reading Devil and the Dark Water by the same author. I got about 25% through and just decided to drop it for something else. I’m not an avid reader so i never know if I should stay committed or not.
This seems absolutely absurd to me. Some of my favorite books of all time took a good 20 or so pages to get into. In fact, I don’t know if there’s any book I’ve been hooked from the first sentence.
