I once read a book with a cast of thousands and an epic sweep that covered centuries of mythical action, bloody wars, magical happenings and whatnot.

I read about four chapters and gave up because:

The characters were lame.
The dialogue was stilted.
The plot was generic.
The infodumps were deep, long and seemingly without relevance.

I read another story about a man dreaming he was climbing to the top of a mountain, where he promptly fell off. That's about all there was to it.

It gripped me from beginning to end.

Anything's possible. It's the story that matters.
