I used to think like that but as I got older and other things started eating into my time I had to give that up. If it starts off good and gets slow I may fight my way through or if I have read other books from the author and I know they can write things I like then I am more willing to put in the effort. I am willing to put up with slow or confusing plot line if the style is engaging enough.

I started reading HP to my sons and they loved it enough to start reading ahead of me on their own so I stopped. I found her writing style to be adequate at best and the story was much to cute for my taste. A good ending would not change that. If I had read it when I was 15 I may have fallen in love with it but at 34 it really didn’t make the cut when there was so many books I knew I would love but didn’t have time to read. Rowling failed to make me care enough about her story that I felt I had to know how it ended.
