This is because it disappointed me so, so much. It was a book with a fantastic beginning, really gripped me. The story, when in full swing was interesting, but not as gripping as the start.

The whole ending section of the book, including the fight scene on the boat absolutely killed it for me. In fact, that fight scene has got to be the most tedious things I have ever had to read... and I studied law at university!

lol, I understand this feeling...vanity fair and Great Gatsby are far better stories of this type.
The problem with some older literature is the trite manner it is often composed in.

Mine was twilight, esp the end of the 4th book. All this build up...for a chat, then they leave, no battle no fight nothing. such a work up for sod all, so dissapointing.

I don't know if I'd say I hated it, but my answer is Modelland.
