I'm fairly unforgiving these days. If I'm irritated by the tenth page, I'm pretty sure I'm not going to like the rest of the book. Often I'll start skimming paragraphs, then skipping pages looking for good bits, then throw the book away in disgust. Most recent book I did this with is Ruth Rendell's "The Keys to the Street". I continue to find evidence that writer is wildly over-rated!
