Query: Too many trite characters, slow moving and predicable story.

Action finally starts, can you believe, half way through the book. After reading Jurassic Park, I was really looking forward this novel - but it is so disappointing &amp; boring! There are too many uninteresting characters in the book, and you're kept waiting, waiting and waiting for something (anything!) to happen. Recommendations - don't bother with the book, just wait for movie to come out. Hopefully, it will be better
