Much to my shame the entire Hebrew Bible
I think people who have praised the Bible are generally biased towards it, I think that its literary quality is not that great overall, that it isn't apparently a collection of great Genius or anything, but people have (mainly thanks to Christianity) made a huge fuss over it due to it being part of their religion. It wasn't great, I don't even think its purpose was to be great even, but people just said its great over and over until the next bunch kept up the tradition of saying how great it is.
I think the reason you might have trouble with it is that it is of a poor literary quality, it is a hodge podge, slap dash, unrefined collection of writings that have gone through a lot. Other very old Semitic writings and stuff are also very messed up and confusing and weird, and compared to those the Bible actually might be better, but that isn't saying much overall.
My point is, the reason it is bad, is people exaggerated when they said it was good, I don't even think it was meant to be "The Words of God" when it was written or collected, it doesn't appear to be that really, but now for a long time people have treated it that way and as if it is. Its like if someone took some ancient scraps of different writings, cobbled them together, and then in the future people started to revolve around it and go Aummm look at these Holy Words from On High, or if someone started deifying and glorifying some comic book pages or something.
Compare it to the Qur'an and see if you have as much trouble, and anyone in their right mind (in my opinion) will see that one book is far more easy and clear than the other, and one book presents itself as if it is God or something bigger than Muhammed speaking to Muhammed, whereas the other books are not seemingly doing that at all mainly. Even if the Qur'an is a big fraud, it seems to be better as writing, as poetry, as musical, as informative, as clear, etc. People hate it just because its new and different by their standards, they aren't looking at it in a serious comparison, they've deemed it a fraud from a perverse false Prophet and that is the end of that, not even caring how much it is better than the Bible and better for children to read than the Bible and sterilized in such a way that there is no really easy mistake to make concerning God as there might be in the very up and down and left and right confusing Bible complication or patchwork.
Though, the Bible isn't THAT hard. It is Hard if it is taken as a true book of guidance, because it is so much more and so little of that, it wasn't made apparently as a book of guidance, and it scarcely seems useful as a clear guide that if followed would be beneficial truly (it doesn't appear to actually be very Universal or Beneficial overall, or even pragmatic or sensible in many people, and carries a whole range of notions and ideas and opinions which seem to differ somewhat at least).
What isn't hard really, is just taking it at face value, or even as some of the literalists might, that "it is what it is, it says what it says" and not really questioning it beyond that, and taking whatever it says and going with it as much as one can. It feels weird or doesn't make sense (in my opinion) because its bad, badly written, and someone might be expecting more or something different or something better, since they heard all the fuss and praise and "this is it? what the heck is this anyway?".
So, I think what may have caused you difficulty in your reading of the Bible is that you thought it should be better really, or at least give some clear steps and guidance, but its just not giving you a point for point clear message with clear points, so it is not meeting your expectations, and so all you're left doing is resisting throwing it in the bin, since its still one of the most fussed over books in all human history at this point, even though it could be like a collection of TV commercials from the 60s and 80s taped together and on top of each other.
