Query: Uninteresting people doing uninteresting things while saying really really uninteresting things

I thought I would really enjoy this book as it takes places in a neighborhood of London in which I lived many years ago. But the characters are perhaps the most uninteresting I have ever encountered in a novel and their precious dialogue is beyond boring. The only reason I give it 2 stars is because there is a lot of good writing in this book - but to no purpose. Highly unrecommended.
