You ever read a book feeling like it could have been shortened to a pamphlet?

Been working my way through books I bought, but have been collecting dust. Normally, I read a book through even if I’m not into it. This book goes on and on...
It makes sense.
The many studies mentioned are fine, but as a whole It’s been very redundant. 🤷🏻‍♀️
I’m on chapter 8 wondering if this is going anywhere..?
