Review: interesting theme, but uninspired

I do like this author a lot, but it shows that it's his first book. What's disappointing is not so much his writing, which flows nicely, but that the whole storyline is told in such a linear, uninspiring, fashion. It's like writing-101; all the boxes have been checked, but I never find myself pulled into the story; never wondering how it will end. Indeed, the ending is just...too easy, waaay too easy. By "easy" I mean that the hero just slices through all problems and bad guys like the proverbial hot knife through butter. My verdict: don't bother (even as a throw-away read for the beach).
