It took 45 pages for me to be really interested in what the heck was going on in The Immortalists – and, yowza, was a lot going on!ĭoes the cover of this book scream “gay male sex” to you? Yeah, me neither. I realized that some books are a slow burn, and that I have to give them a reasonable amount of time to grab me. Thank goodness she did, because I would have missed out on an extraordinary novel if I had stopped reading after only a few pages. I had wanted to stop reading Kevinafter about 10 pages because I just wasn’t hooked, but a friend insisted I press on. I used to dismiss books after only a few paragraphs or pages, but I decided to make the cut-off point 50 pages after reading We Need To Talk About Kevin, which is perhaps one of my favorite novels ever written. Most novels grab me right from the get-go others take a bit of time to get into the story. I have a 50-page rule when I read something new - every book has 50 pages to get me interested in the story, or I put it aside.
