DNF'd that award winner in one sitting, but the trashy thriller took me 3 weeks

Last Tuesday I picked up the literary darling everyone raves about, the one with the elaborate prose and deep themes, and I slammed through 60 pages before realizing I was just bored. Meanwhile that predictable airport thriller with the terrible cover had me checking my phone every 5 minutes, and I finally threw it in the donate box after 9 days. Does a book have to be 'good' to keep you reading, or is it more about the pull of the plot over the polish of the writing?
