David Brin's Uplift series got me to stop at book 2. I thought book 1 (Sundiver) was not bad and had possibilities. But book 2 (Startide Rising) about the dolphins just bored me enough to stop it.
Another book I recently gave up on after 7 chapters was The Moon is a Harsh Mistress by Robert A. Heinlein. Chapter 6 was really poorly written and dull. I did give it another go at chapter 7 and had to forgo the rest of it.
