Should I give up on my book?

I love reading and love having a book I can't wait to read each other evening. Every now and then I buy one that I can't get into, less frequent now I use an e reader and get samples.
But I'm into one at the moment. I can't remember who's who and can't say I really care. Nothing is happening, it's just so dull. I had a look last night to see if I was almost finished and was shocked to learn I was less than a quarter of the way through.
But I invested 99p :o and have invested time so far. I am mildly interested in how it ends and would like someone just to tell me so I can give up on it.

Have just finished reading The Woman who up and left and can recommend that one too.

That looks exactly the sort of thing I need. Light and easy.

(I'm assuming but I shouldn't judge a book by the cover.. Might be war and peace in reality)

I read one that was supposed to be a gothic horror. Let's just say I now know a lot more about sheep farming than previously.

I used to feel like I simply must finish every book I started and then one day, trying for the third time to get more than a few pages into Wolf Hall and still hating it, I thought, why? Why on earth should I persevere with this? So I didn't. It's wonderfully freeing :)
