Just follow the 50-page system.
If DCC hasn't grabbed you by 50 pages in, you can be reasonably sure you won't like the rest of it. Trust me.
I have never heard of that rule before but I love the idea, I will def final start to implement that into my reading because I have stuck through books longer than I needed to and took me too long to realize I didn’t care to read them!
In Canada our bookstore has a heathers pick. She’s the ceo or, idk someone high up. You can probably google but it isn’t important. She reads everything. Someone asked and she says she reads 3 chapters and if it doesn’t hook her, she drops it.
