How do you decide when to give up on a book?

I read The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle, and take enjoyed it. Read another book, then started reading Devil and the Dark Water by the same author. I got about 25% through and just decided to drop it for something else. I'm not an avid reader so i never know if I should stay committed or not.

I'll give an example. I read the first two sentences of blood meridian and decided not to read it and move on. I just don't have the time to commit unless the book really grabs me.
