Decide Whether To Finish A Book You Are Not Enjoying

You are two hundred pages in, nothing has grabbed you, and some misplaced sense of obligation keeps you turning pages anyway. This weighs whether the problem is likely to resolve, whether the ending is worth the slog, and how much reading time is actually worth spending here, then gives you a straight answer.

You are {PERCENTAGE_READ} through {BOOK_TITLE} and considering giving up. Weigh up: whether the specific thing bothering you (pacing, a character, the prose style) is likely to change in the remainder of the book, whether the ending is generally considered to justify a slow build for this particular title, and how much of your limited reading time is worth spending on finishing versus starting something new. Give a clear finish-it or drop-it recommendation, not a list to decide from yourself.
