Query: This was a big disappointment

I really wanted to like this book. I suffered through it over several weeks hoping it would get better or something would happen that would make it more interesting (or more bearable). I finally gave up about 20 pages from the end. I just couldn't bring myself to care about any of the characters and didn't want to waste one more minute of my life to it. Extremely disappointing. I gave it two stars only because it's not the worst book I've ever read (but close).
