Well if the book is bad... But a book is not just the story. It is a total experience and if the book is not bad the fighting scenes are there for the total experience of the book also.
I dislike boring fighting scenes also but my reaction is to try to avoid books with boring fighting scenes. But books by Abercrombie and Glen Cook (Black Company) have fighting scenes that are integral to the books.
