Query: Stale and disjointed read

I am truy shocked to see that everyone else has praised this book so highly. It was terrible. My bookclub chose this book to read based on the reviews and it was a huge mistake. Several people didn't even finish it. I did, but only because I mistakenly heard another friend say it gets better...WHEN? I kept reading just to find that point and it never came. Most of the time I can't wait to pass on a book to a family member or another friend, but I would be embarrassed to share this one. Not only were the characters poorly developed, but they were unbelievably stereotyped. All in all, this book was stale from start to finish.
