Query: Book fails in the end

I think the idea of the plot was good, but the writing fell apart at the climax. The final showdown was inane and would never happen. The main characters were well written, but the antagonist and his cronies were stereotypical. There are portions of the story that are absolutely boring, which forced me to scan read. I won't do that if the book can hold my attention which this one failed to do.
