Cryptonomicon
by Neal Stephenson
What a colossal waste. I wanted a thrilling sci-fi story to capture me and instead I was bored out of my skull while nothing in particular happened and a ridiculous multitude of characters never managed to spring to life. (The entire time I felt like I was watching them through a stolid man's eyes, and never got to truly engage with any of them)
I guess not every 4+ rated book can be a winner, but this was a huge time investment to make for...well, tedium. I don't know what I missed, because some people I truly respect claim to have loved this novel, but I'd give anything to get back the hours and hours I spent waiting and hoping it would get better.
