Query: Stupid Hero = poor plot

I'm one of those people that HAS to finish a book -- good, bad, or otherwise. This one barely got finished -- I don't see what the positive reviewers saw in this book. The main character was STUPID, no suspense regarding "why" he is targeted -- author just tells the reader within the first few chapters. Why not let the reader discover the reason along with the main character? The middle chapters are just biding time until the denoument ... reader is better off reading a few at the beginning and then a few at the end -- nothing much happens in the middle. PLEASE authors, give your readers some credit, we are smarter than you give us credit ... the "surprise" ending was no surprise. Only reason I went with 2 stars vs. 1 is that I did finish it... the ones I can't even finsh get the 1-star.
