Or if I enjoyed the author's previous works, such as in this case. Rather than take chances, I prefer to go by recommendations, positive reviews, or just go by the reputation of the author. I am careful with my book purchases, maybe even a little bit too careful. I tend to start what I finish, but at around the halfway point, my eyes were starting to feel a bit of strain from rolling back into my head so frequently. I read for fun, and only a few chapters in, it was starting to feel like a chore. But this one took me about two months to finish, and that's because I simply had no desire to pick it up again after each reading session. If I really am engaged with a novel, I can finish even a fairly long one in a couple of weekends. It took me a long time to get through this book.
