People have different tastes. I do agree with you, but you have to bear in mind that you read books in different paces. Somebody might be bored if the story starts slow and leavea a bad first impression.
I having trouble reading Joyce's Ulysses, a reason might be that I'm as a non native speaker have problems with old english. On the other hand I may have spent just a couple of days with the Millenium trilogy. Even though I enjoyed the latter, I don't dare to say it's better than Joyce's masterpiece.
