There are novels that captivate you from the first page, that suck you into the characters and the storyline, that you keep saying “just one more chapter” even though you should have been in bed over an hour ago.
Then there are others that don’t grab you from the start, but grow on you. You may not stay up until the early hours to read it, but you’ll finish to know what happens in the story and to the characters.
Then there’s the third kind of novel, the one that you can’t get into no matter how many times you try.
