Feature and Follow Friday: A Conversation on DNFs

Hosts: Parajunkee and AlisonCanRead

Featured Blog: Corazones Literarios 

POST PROMPT:

What is your take on DNF books. Do you review them? Choose not to review them?

I know some people can't stand to DNF books. I am not one of those people. If I am not enjoying a book I find it very painful to continue! Whether I review a DNF depends on many different circumstances...

1) How far along was I in the book? If I read all of it but *skimmed* a bit I would still review the book! I would just put a disclaimer

2) Why did I DNF the book? If something really offended me I normally write a half-review or explanation of why I could not finish the book. I'd warn others of my feelings.

3) Did I only read a chapter? Then, I would NOT review the book. I have no real basis to write a review on!

In conclusion:

I think DNFs are good. Sometimes escaping the boring not-for-you books can lead you to find better, more exciting reads! Reviewing them can be tricky though, and highly depends on situation and circumstance!
