There are two books I've felt that way about.
One was by Steve Perry, it was just poorly written. But the other was by Piers Anthony, it was a horror novel, Firefly I think it was called. I was in college, I guess 20 when I read it (or started to).
It featured a character who at 10 years old or so, was a nymphomaniac. She apparently "seduced" some guy and a large part of it seemed to be about how awful it was and how sorry the Judge felt sending that guy to jail.
Ick. I stopped reading and threw it away. Have not read a Piers Anthony novel since, especially since after thinking about it, it's a somewhat common theme in a lot of his books.
