Got halfway through The Goldfinch and realized I just didn't care what happened to anyone in it

I was 150 pages into The Goldfinch and the whole drugstore scene just dragged on forever. I kept waiting for something to pop off but it felt like watching paint dry. @the_logan I think for me it was the characters, especially Theo who just seemed to mope around. My buddy Dave read the whole thing and said the same thing, he only finished it because he'd already paid for the book. Have you given up on it completely or are you still thinking about pushing through?

Was it the plot or the characters themselves that made you stop caring?
