A book only gets killed, when it doesn't have at least a somewhat happy ending. People can die, but not all of them. Also, at least some good things must happen in a story. If it's only bad after bad after bad after bad, I'll lay it down and never look back.
(ever seen the movie Armageddon? Nothing worked as it should, and everything went wrong. Hated that movie)
