boring books

My cousin was raving about how awesome this one author was and i just so happened to have one of her books, so it was moved up on my to be read list. I was a third of the way through it when i finally gave up on it. I found it boring, and thats putting it nicely. I told my cousin how i tried and just couldn't do it. He agreed that they start off kind of boring but do get a lot better. I am sorry but i am the type that if i can't get into it in the first few pages, i usually give up on it, no matter who's recommendation.

Yes, when that happens to me i just drop the book and get another one. When i look for a book to buy, i take a read of the first 2 pages and after reading these first two and i can't let go then i know it will be a good read. The characters,the plot and the story make me enjoy the book that i am reading.Happy reading my friend!

I've read quite a few books where it takes days, or even weeks just to get through the first few chapters but all of a sudden I'm hooked. This recently happened with Jodi Picoult's Nineteen minutes. I heard a lot of good things about it, but I've never been personally affected by school shootings (of course I think about it, but it's never been too close to home). It took a while, but I did get hooked and I'm glad I did, it was great! I do have a book that I've started a few times but just have no interest. I'm not sure what keeps my attention. I do know that if I keep thinking about what happens next when I have to put it down, I'm finishing it soon. I need to be able to picture everything like a TV show, or movie. What's worse than not connecting, is connecting only to find out the end is beyond horrible and leaves you mad.
