What do you do if you're bored at the beginning of a book?

Funny this should come up as my daughter is trying to talk me into reading that particular book. I will not buy it but will try her copy once Amazon enables sharing.
I would read farther than the first chapter. I usually give books a chance by at least reading the first few. But, if it still doesn't interest me I quit at that point.
Another book that came with great reviews but I hated is Outlander by Diana Gabaldon. I just couldn't stand another minute of it and deleted it regardless of how many others thought it was great.
