What author did you read a book by and didn’t like, but gave them another chance and loved it?

I’m so glad I gave Edith Wharton another chance. I read Ethan Frome and thought it was fine. On a whim I picked up The Age of Innocence and fell in love. Now I’m buying anything I can by her. I recently read The House of Mirth, and can confirm she is one of my favorite authors now. Anybody have a similar experience with an author?

    Same!! I read F451 (not required) and I didn’t get the hype at all. I just hated the way it was written even if the plot is fine. Then I had to read his story ‘The Pedestrian’ for a class and I ended up really liking it & others by him.
