I can think of several authors that I really enjoyed but stopped reading after a few less good (I won't say bad, just not the expected good) books. Or ones that seemed to follow the same formula.
Jonathan Tropper is one. I enjoyed "This is Where I Leave You" a lot. But two others that I read (or what I read of them) seemed to follow the same formula - different plot, different characters, but same development and resolution of drama.
I have friends who "must" finish a book, even if it's not good. Respect for the author or the process, perhaps. I'll give a book 50 pages. If I'm on the fence, if it was highly recommended, or if I really like the author, I'll try another 50. After that, I'm done.
