In reply to Kate W. I've been there! I call it hate reading. I did it with Ohio. For me, it means skimming, which if the writing is well-done, I don't do. If I'm speed reading a book it's not a good sign!

In reply to Kristin. I don't ever just read the ending, but if I need to know I skim. Really skim. If I DNF it's because I don't care about the ending- the journey to get there is too painful.

In reply to susan. Exactly! She tried to read the book.

I’m already lost by Inappropriation. Did anyone understand the story? There may be a reason why the girl on the cover has her hands on her head. Hmm.

When you DNF a book, do you read the last chapter to get “closure” or do you not care and just quit entirely? I so rarely DNF because I just need to know the end.

Phew! Neither of these on my TBR list (and they won’t be now!).

I’m reading one at the moment that I probably should have abandoned but 70% through now so will finish and write a scathing review! (It’s Sweet Caress by William Boyd – others have loved it but I’m just finding Boyd’s take on the female POV unconvincing).
