Herbert's "Dune" is a perfect example for me. Everyone I know loves it but after about 50 pages (filled, as I recall, with too many names of people, places, etc. than I could stand), I was confused and simply hadn't been "caught" by it - so I gave it up. It's unfortunate because in the long run I can imagine I might have enjoyed it a great deal. But I'm not willing to wait very long to find that out. It happens to me fairly often. To help, I look hard at reviews but that's not a very reliable solution.
