I'm glad I'm not the only one who reads quickly to finish a book I don't like. I know lots of people just DNF that, but I always want to know if it gets *better*. Sometimes my favorite books have started very slowly.
Yeah I just had that happen to me a few days ago actually, the first half was rough to get through but then the second half was pretty great! A strong finish can make a HUGE difference, for me. This one just didn't do it though. A jumbled mess of information at the very end is not the solution. I'm bummed it didn't work out, but honestly I'm just glad to move on to a new story at this point!
I'm the same way! I will set it *aside* pretty lightly, given I'm generally reading half a dozen things at once, but to declare that I'm never finishing it ever? I still have a hard time doing it. Too many "what if?"s in my head, lol.
Sorry it didn't work out for you, though. :(
