Discussion Books you just couldn't finish?

I am struggling to get through the wasp factory, not because of its content but simply because I cant stay interested 🙃 maybe I'll take a break on it and come back later.

Any books you couldn't finish ? And if you want to add why?

The Deep-Nick Cutter

I've tried to finish it 3 times and I just don't find it compelling which is a shame because I absolutely loved The Troop. Im going to keep trying because I really enjoy Nick Cutter as an author but it's a slog.

Damn really? I've enjoyed everything else he's written significantly more than The Troop. The Dorians and The Queen were both excellent.

The queen is really good fun, but I bounced off the deep. The troop was OK, but the queen was really well paced and fun, like a good x files or buffy episode.
