I can't remember the exact quote and too lazy to look for it at this time, but it was to the effect that the characters in the book were so unlikable that all you wanted was for them to all go to hell as soon as possible.

I've read a few books that brought that quote to mind.

Edit: Finally remembered the quote:
Quote:
The test of any good fiction is that you should care something for the characters; the good to succeed, the bad to fail. The trouble with most fiction is that you want them all to land in hell, together, as quickly as possible.—Mark Twain
