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.

    Either I’m hooked from the first sentence or I’ll never be. Simple as that.

      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.
