When there's no one likeable left alive. Or if there is anyone, you just know they're either faking it or doomed. TV Tropes calls it [Darkness-Induced Audience Apathy](http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DarknessInducedAudienceApathy). I lasted until somewhere in the third _Game of Thrones_ book. Or maybe it was only the second, I can't remember. Then I put the book down because I didn't want to read an account of a rape and murder at that moment, and somehow never got round to picking the book up again. That said, the rest of my family continually urge me to reconsider. Perhaps George R.R. Martin himself is suffering from the same malady!
