Within almost any book I've ever read are passages that I find tedious or at least predictable. Doesn't mean I will condemn the book (or its author), nor does it mean I will stop reading. Most of the time I also find passages that are entertaining, thought provoking and sometimes even intellectually challenging. Those I love and they will keep pulling me back.
I much prefer books books where you have Good and Evil fighting each other and Evil goes away the victor. That doesn't mean I'm a fan of Evil or even inclined towards being Evil, it just means that sometimes Evil does win, at least in real life.Hardly ever in fiction though. That is why I also love walking around in disorganized giant bookstores, because you never know what you will walk away with. When I'm in its electronic alter ego I try to do the same, unfortunately the browsing feature is geared towards an organized selection that discourages the adventurous among us.
