An insightful "Infographic" from Goodreads about why readers abandon a novel. As for me, I loved the Fifty Shades trilogy. I thought E. L. James did an excellent job of titillating while making me care deeply about the characters. And yes, I'm a bit of a lit snob, too. I also find James Joyce brilliant, but hard-going. I used to finish everything, like some of those polled, but now find there are too many books and too little time to waste on something that doesn't keep my interest.
I have to agree. I dropped Fifty Shades of Grey and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, although I did make it through Atlas Shrug.
