Well pick it up and keep going. And the people who said you have to make it past the first 100 pages may be wrong. Make it the first half and then if you don't like it, give it up. 5 pages past the dull beginning is not enough to get into it. That's like reading only the first five pages and then putting the book down. 5 pages is not enough to tell if you like a book. I consider the dull beginning to not count in terms of whether you like it or not. I consider after the dull bits to be the part where you start reading. So treat it as such and 5 pages doesn't cut it.
