Will you still try to finish a book if it is not interesting in the begining

I have this thing about starting a book and not finishing books, I just have to finish every book I start even when I'm not interested or hate the book. Sometimes it takes me awhile, but I usually finish everything I start. The last time I put down a book and didn't finish it was several years ago, and even then I still tell myself I'll give it another shot one day! Some books get better, some don't. It's a toss-up but I give most books until the very last page to impress me.

sometimes i persevere even when the first few chapters of a book arent very interesting but most times, i give up outright! for me, a book has to hook me right at the beginning and refuse to let me go until 'The End' :)

I want to give the book a chance and some books get better after a while, so I usually read a couple of chapters before I decide if I want to finish the book or not. If I have read a couple of chapters and I still don't like the book I give up and decide to return the book to the library without reading the rest of it. Some books sounds very interesting when I read the summary, but when I read them I discover that I don't really like them. That happens quite often. My local library has a website and I use that site when I pick out books. Some time ago I found a book a slave girl who was separated from her mother. I was interested in reading the story about her life, but when I got the book I was quite disappointed in the story, and I didn't finish the book.

no i will not finish it if it is boring or uninteresting.. i even read the back of all books first and i will flip thur and if i dont like what i read there or on the back then i wont even start that book as im fickle and very hard to please on books i dont read often but love it when i find a great book and enjoy it way more but right now i dont have time to read any books..

Nah, it makes me sleepy when I read an uninteresting book.

I'm that kind of a silly person who reads every single book they start... just to know the ending and how it got there from the beginning. There were some books I was so angry at (one in particular was... arrrrggghhh :D), but I keep on reading them... because maybe something's good gonna happen.

There have been so many times when a book was just not interesting to me and I could not bring myself to finish the book. Whenever that happens I end up taking it to half priced books and resell it or give it to a friend who might enjoy it. There was once or twice that I pushed through a book and ended up liking it, but nine times out of ten if it doesn't interest me in the first fwe paragraphs I don't even buy it anymore.

Every time before I read a new book, I'll do a little research first on that book. I will search for reviews and comments online first about it and if it got raves or just rants about it. So when I decided I would like to read this book because of intriguing reviews and rates, I will just read it. When I get to 10% and I get bored with the book, I will still continue reading it. When I get 50% of the book and it's still very boring for me, that's when I will stop reading it. I believe that boring parts are just always in the beginning of the book and usually every time I read a book which I thought at first was boring, it usually gets exciting when it gets to the second half of it but when I get there and it's still boring, I will not finish it anymore.

Nope, I cannot force myself to finish reading a book if it doesn't strike my fancy or catch my attention. I just can't. I have a very low tolerance for poorly written or just plain boring books. Also romance novels. Yuck. lol. I will give up on a book less than a chapter into it if i feel like it's not something that catches my interest.

it depends.. I first read the summary at the back and if that is a good summary then i read the book until i finish chapters and if it still not interesting at all, i just look for another one. WHy waste my time, when i can look for more interesting ones.
