Disappointing Execution

It's an incredible concept. It had the potential for great world-building, yet it's all squandered with poor writing and silly characters. I wanted so much more out of this. The story is more focused on the people who act like naive teenagers driven by unnatural attachments and motivations. Almost no solid scientific thought was invested. I couldn't even reach the end before I had to put it down... I rarely stop reading a book once I've committed to it, but I found it to be such a disappointment I don't think I'll read anything by this author again. Makes me wonder why this person is published if they can't follow through on the actual story, beyond the general concept. Maybe it's just not for me...
