It's almost the same as movie trailers. You have to find a good balance with getting people interested, but not give away too much to early. There have been a few books I have stopped reading because I just didn't feel like there was enough there to fill an entire book. Usually it's just that I'm not in the right mood for the book. Sometimes I'll give a book a second chance, and almost always enjoy it the second time, like The Dark Tower series. My first time through it, I got as far as Wizard and Glass and gave up on it at some point in that book. Some years later I gave it another try and was glad I did.
