I have just seen a video on youtube in which a girl claims that Stephen King's books are horrible, she couldn't even force herself to read the 3rd or 4th page of his books sooo she always put them down because (drums please) they were so horribly boring.

Well, she is absolutely free to have and tell her opinion about any writer, it's a free world. But how can you form any kind of opinion of a book when you are on page 3? I mean... really... we really don't know anything about that book at that time or at least in my humble opinion.

But what I am really interested in is your opinion. What do you think? How much time and how many pages do you usually give a book before you give up on it?
