I'm the instant gratification type. I don't even like waiting a week (never mind a summer hiatus) for the next episode of my favorite TV shows.
I would typically not subject my self to a serialization except under extraordinatry circumstances (ie, I REALLY want to).
I really enjoyed, for example "A Traders Tale" by Nathan Lowell, which was originally presented as a serial podcast, but I didn't discover it until the whole story was available at once. I'm not sure I'd have followed through with it week to week, even though it was a well structured serialization.
And half my family has given up on Maryrose Wood's "Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place" series. WAY TOO LONG between books, and, worst of all, no end to the series (and therefore no resolution to all the questions) in sight.
It's one thing to have series involving the same world or the same characters (Vorkosigan, Jack Reacher, Star Wars, etc.) but I want to know a (satisfying) ending awaits.
