Query: first book I didn't finish

I've always finished any book I've begun to read. Whether it's because my selections have been so well chosen (ha!) or some other factor I don't know; "While I Was Gone," however, has been the one exception.I got to the middle and then read a little bit further before I couldn't take it anymore. I was waiting patiently, to no avail, for the story to pick up the pace.There are two main reasons why I found this novel so boring:1. The plot---the "twist." Everything that unravels I saw coming. If you read a lot and pay attention to detail, you'll figure the book out pretty quick. This makes for a pretty uninteresting reading experience.2. The characters. Miller doesn't give me a reason to care about them or what happens to them. She provides emotional moments that do little more than make me think "oh, how sad or oh, how unfortunate." Sort of the same trite response one comes up with when reading through the myriad of unfortunate but mundane tragedies in the newspaper.
