It's not just me then.
I got to the beginning of the 3rd book and ended up chucking it across a room in utter frustration (I seem to remember it was 3 pages of Sam trying to decide which pot/pan he's going to throw away that did it).
I do tend to ifnish anything I start. There are only 2 occasions where I have given up entirely. One was Return of the king and the other was the da vinci code (that got chucked out a window and into a skip rather than just across a room)
