I struggled with this book the first time I tried to read it, and put it down for a couple of years. The next time I picked it up, I had no trouble reading it and it became one of my favorite series.
Because of that, I tend to be cautious about whether or not I like a series even if I struggle with the initial reading. There are several books that I had difficulty starting, but then became a favorite book once I was able to get into it.
If I have trouble with a book, I will either set it aside to read later, or I will read it a little at time while I "take breaks from it" to read other books at the same time. (I think I finished about a dozen or so other books while trying to get through Moby Dick.)
