Query: totally forgettable except for the gratuitous torture

I picked this book up on the recomendation of a book seller and I was desperate for something new to read.The first time I tried to read it, I didn't get through the first chapter. I should have taken it back and demanded my money back. But I tried it again years later. I can read 2 or 3 books a day, but it took me 2 weeks to slog through this drivel.It's so forgettable that I remember now is that it had a hero... no worthwhile female characters and someone that liked to torture along with sex so that they would become intertwined. Gee thats really uplifting. I have seldom read a book I have despised more.
