Perhaps not quite the same, but certainly related: I've tried new authors before where the first book I've read of theirs (but perhaps not their first book) turns out to be one that I just couldn't stand. But when trying another offering of theirs (perhaps as a favor to a friend who loves said author), I've been pleasantly surprised to find that I thoroughly enjoyed it. It hasn't happened often, but it's happened enough that I've learned not to write-off an author based on a single piece of their work. Unless that initial work was hideously and personally offensive to me, of course.
