Over-simplified, yet too detailed at the same time

Any additional comments?

I initially chose this book because I like a good crime mystery. I read through a ton of glowing reviews, and I was ready to be riveted. The opening was ok, so I powered through.

What really got me, though, was that at many (many) times throughout the book, the author just over-explains an idea; almost as if talking to a child. I just kept thinking: "come on already, get to the point." Now, I'm no technology guru...just an average person who can work the basics on a computer. The protagonist, on the other hand, is introduced as a forward thinking revolutionary in the technology field. Yet, he is so slow on the uptake of certain events, that this is hard to believe. On the flip-side of this, there are times that the author just goes off for a time in great detail on some technological point. There's no middle ground.

I listened through to the end, just to see what happens, but I was really ready to be done about 2/3 of the way through. The narrator was solid/consistent through to the end. Looking back, I wish I'd picked something else.
