How i pick a book by Abbie Wright

I pick a book by looking at the cover, reading the back, and reading the first two pages. I evaluate the first three to four chapters by knowing the setting and knowing the main characters. I will probably quit the book if I feel that I don't know the setting or the main character(s). In a book, I look for good sentences that describe the settings or events. Also, I look for humor or some factor of mystery. I almost never give up on a book. If I do, it is because I cant get the "feel" of it. For example, I can't read The Hobbit, no matter how hard I try. I can't get the feel of it.
