Most books that I don't like get dropped after the first couple chapters... but one I actually finished was Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson. The reason I finished it was because it had some brilliant elements in it, and was groundbreaking for the cyberpunk genre, but alas... it was also hopelessly pathetic in it's attempt to be edgy (pretty much exactly why I don't like all the lame WB series like "The Badge") and had a LOT of seriously implausable/unbelieveable plot elements... and a bad ending to boot.
