I hated the protagonist for submitting to an obvious con despite all reason indicating that he should leave; I hated myself for continually turning the page. Look at us, 2 stupid sheep, one fictionally immortal, the other decaying with each passing moment.

Half baked dozen lies sold as a mystery with no pay-off. No interesting or endearing characters to cling to. 

when to dnf
- when you dread picking up the book
- when you skim whole chapters
- when you fling the book across the room , a la bradley cooper
