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.

If I get bored, I drop it. Maybe I miss out on some gems that 'get good after the 7th chapter' or whatever, but I'm not fussed

Could be the first chapter, ¾ through the book, halfway through a series... If I'm bored I'm out lol
