Query: Some interesting concepts, boring storyline.

The title sums this story up fairly well. Some interesting concepts may keep you turning the pages but the novel is unremarkable in every positive way I can come up with. I was often left wondering if the authors heart was in what he was writing. In the end I didn't plan to quit reading it but found myself picking it up less and less until it got kicked under the bed and vanished for a few months whereupon I had zero desire to finish the last 100 or so pages.
