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.

I usually know by about 20–30 pages in if I am going to continue to the end of a book.

There are too many great books out there to spend time on those that don't speak to you.
