I can think of many books that are in no way believable from outside the story but are still enjoyable on one level or another while I'm reading. And I did enjoy this book from inside the story.
I think we risk over-generalising when we don't like a book - I do it as much as (or more than) the next person. When we are enjoying a book we are happy to forgive a lot, but when a book fails to get us in, the faults (and all books have them) stand out.
