It's very rare I give up on a book but that's mostly because I choose books I know I'm going to at least find passable entertainment.
The one I should have given up on was "Annihilation." I hated it starting about 20% in but kept going to see if it got any better. So many people loved it! Nope, in the end I was just angry at myself for reading that boring junk.
I read Annihilation after I saw the movie. The movie stayed with me for weeks afterwards, the book did not. Also, the movie has one of the best CSN songs ever - Helplessly Hoping
