The Alienist

I have never read a book that I liked less than Caleb Carr's The Alienist. Usually I don't finish reading books that I dislike this much. It was trashy and contrived. Not suspenseful at all. Cheesy as all hell. In fact, even though it's a mystery, I didn't bother to read the last ten pages. That's how little I cared, how little invested I was. So I don't even know the details of the stupid ending.

What the real mystery is, is why didn't I put it down after 25 pages instead 475?
