Query: I Can't Believe I Read the Whole Thing!

I basically bought this book because the story takes place in the area where I live. That ends up being the only thing of interest in the entire book. This author has managed to fill 500 pages without saying a thing. Not one of the characters had a non-depressing thought or conversation and even the weather was miserable for the most part. The only thing I enjoyed about this book was being finished with it. I can't believe I wasted all that time on reading through it. I just couldn't believe the book would end without something happening.
