Abandoned Book: Every Dead Thing, by John Connolly

I’ve decided to keep track of the books that I start and don’t finish. The latest was Every Dead Thing, by John Connolly. I made it to page 162 (out of 467) before quitting. I gave him a solid third of the book to make me interested and it didn’t happen.

    nancy pearl, author of book lust, and general book guru, has a rule of 50. you should read a book up to page 50, and if it hasn’t grabbed you by then, you can put it down and quit reading w/o any guilt.

    cilla: Good rule; I gave Connolly way too much slack.

    Dorian: People are different (have different tastes) … I wasn’t thrilled with this Connolly book.
