Query: I don't get it

Everyone here really seems to like this book. As a matter of fact, I read it because of a recommendation here.I have to admit, I'm a sucker for the hard-boiled school, as this book certainly is. However, I thought the book was complete waste of time. Every character, including the hero, is extremely one-dimensional, and the book was very formulaic. Maybe his other stuff is good, but don't bother with this one.
