One Star Challenge: Archangel Protocol

Joining in the "one star review" challenge, here's the worst thing anyone had to say about Archangel Protocol. (I quote it here, in full) Interestingly, I had not read this until now:

I read a lot, of both science fiction and non-fiction (history, science, economics, theology, etc.). Of the 300-400 books I start each year, I finish all but a handful. This book was in that sub-elite company. It fails as science fiction, fails as religous commentary, and fails as character fiction.
The science fictional aspects of it remind one of a sad retread 1980's cypberpunk novel - the private investigator, the mysteriously competent friends, the decaying urban setting...but with none of the freshness that this trope used to display.

The theological commentary was a sledgehammer being used to operate on china - yes, yes, extreme right wing patriarchal preachers are bad. Right, got it. Now, please stop ranting; it's page 14 and I'm already sick to death of it.

The characters are poorly drawn, and the dialogue is a bit embarassing to read.

I could not force myself to get beyong 150 pages, even though I tried several times. A friend bought the book at the same time that I did, because we'd both read the same good review (Locus?), and he couldn't even make it as far as I did.

In conclusion, I'm mystified at the good press this freshman attempt is getting Heck, I'm mystified that it wasn't left in the slush pile.
