Query: Not quite as clever as it thinks it is

I bought this book after enjoying other books by Peter David (in the Babylon 5 series), and seeing the high rating in Amazon.After reading the first third of the book, my reaction is that the humor is rather adolescent, and predictable. The story is intriguing, but rather flat and not fleshed out.I read fewer books than I used to, so those that I read need to be really good. This book is falling below my threshold of an enjoyable read.... I hope it improves before the end; otherwise I might not make it....
