Query: Excellent writing fails to motivate reader to finish book

I rated this book four stars only because the writing is so excellent. I could not finsh this book however, merely because I was so sick of how vain this Beatrice was. You can only stand to read "I was so lovely" or "I was as lovely as a sleek pampered cat" so many times before I wanted to throw the book down in disgust.Also, if there would have been any way of sympathizing with the character, I would have finished, but I read about 300 pages and couldn't take it anymore. Not only endlessly vain but totally psycotic! Read The Queens Fool instead.
