It happens that we like a particular writer and want to read every of his works, but sometimes the writer comes with a book that doesn’t meet your expectations.
I loved reading Khushwant Singhs ‘A Train to Pakistan’ & ‘Delhi’, but I didn’t like his novel ‘I shall not hear the Nightingale’.
Coming to Urdu literature, I heard/ read many good reviews about Abdullah Hussain’s novel ‘Udaas Naslen’ and it was classified as the no.1 Urdu novel, but instead of trying to read it many times, I can’t read more than 100 pages. Such a dry and complicated novel.
Are there any books that didn’t meet your expectations?

Quawwee bhai I've read novel many times including other novels but telling you honestly that if some one says Dry or complicated about a novel then that person has different taste.
When first time i read this novel I was in Class 8th, then i read in Matric and Then in my college life. Telling you honestly every time we feel something different in novels especially written by some great writers.

Sannan, so you have gone through 'Udaas Naslen'. From being complicated I mean I found characters were not well defined or co-related with each other.
PS: I 100% agree that its about the topic of the book that also affect your liking and disliking.
I love to read 'Aag ka Darya' by Quratulain Haider & Raakh by Mustansar Hussain Tarar which dealt with the same issue as of Udaas Naslen, but somehow I didn't like Udaas Naslen. On the other side, I enjoyed another novel of Abdullah Hussain 'Nasheb' probably because it was adapted for a drama.
