Good story but poor dialogue and thin characters? Sounds like a screenplay to me!
Seriously, I've read it twice, and yes, the writing isn't great. Brown is in love with exclamation points and his dialogue is stiff but my impression (both times) was "here's a guy writing a book that he really hopes is made into a movie". The chapters were like 2 pages each. The whole thing moved at the speed of a summer movie. I'll go see it, it will probably be sorta fine, but it's just a summer movie, not Schindler's List.
