Query: Could put it down

I have rarely not finished a book (that I chose!). I'm an English teacher/English major; I constantly read a very wide variety of books, various authors, different subject matter, points of view, and settings. Yes, I read Frank McCourt's (and this doesn't even compare). I can't remember of the last 35 books I've read in the last year in a half that I didn't finish reading a book. This was THE one. I tried, but I couldn't force myself to finish it. It was not what I expected or as the mostly positive reviews suggested, at least for me. I didn't find it funny (mostly unbelievable characterization), and I really couldn't find a plot in it. I didn't come to care about Mammy or her brood. Sorry; I won't be reading the follow-ups.
