Query: Original, But Not That Great

I once read a review on this book, before I had read it, that the book was original, but kind of boring. At the time, I didn't think an original book could be boring. Now I understand. I wouldn't say that it's boring, exactly, just empty. The author doesn't take you anywhere. When I finished it I thought to myself, "That's it?" It wasn't moving or inspiring or even the least bit entertaining, which is what books should be.
