I typically force myself to get 33% through a book before I decide I’m totally not enjoying it and won’t continue. I remember the last one I did this with was Gerald’s Game by Stephen King. And I’m a King fan! The scenario is that the woman was trapped on the bed, handcuffed to the bedhead. She was desperate to escape. It got to the word ‘ungloving’ and I couldn’t go any further.
I can overlook poor editing if the story line, writing style, and characters hold my interest.
I agree but when it is every page, every paragraph it does deter from the story somewhat.
