Not that I can recall, no.
A book can be good in the sense that it is well written, with realistically crafted characters and good narrative pacing, without being enjoyable and entertaining to read. Those books I rarely finish and I don't go back to them later either. However, if a book is good in the sense that it keeps my attention and makes me want to keep reading, then I keep reading until the book ends.
I read fiction because I want to be entertained, and if a book fails to do that I dismiss it as not worthy of my time, and I move on to one that does entertain me.
