Dull People Doing Confusing Things in an Interesting World

There were definitely things I liked about this book, and most of those things are introduced early on. The world that Stephenson creates is rich, interesting, believable, and fun. The tech that populates this book is interesting, original, and all with practical aspects but plenty of cool factor.
The slang and cultural artifacts that help to place the reader in the world of the novel weren't overdone, nor are there long portions of exposition; the reader is trusted with figuring things out, which generally wasn't too hard.
The characters were credible, though a little flat. Everyone was fairly quick to pick things up, they spoke in similar ways, and they had to explain their motives. I tend to prefer a bit of vaudeville, which is to say, I like a villain to be villainous; not cartoony, but to have some really despicable aspects. This novel, on the other hand, had a hard time convincing me that anyone was the villain. I knew one guy was definitely dangerous, but the main villain was tought to get a grasp on.
And I suppose that points to the book's main downfall: it's muddy. Even the action sequences were hard to follow, because they simply weren't described clearly. The motivations of the main characters (including the book's protagonist, Hiro Protagonist, har har) seemed to be primarily self-preservation, but the motivations of the ancillary characters were never very clear, which made some of their actions seem very illogical.
One other sin this book committed: there was an exposition speech which lasted at least 3 chapters. Seriously. The hero has to explain something to some side characters (a topic which he'd in fact only discovered a couple of days prior, yet somehow he quickly became an expert in spite of spending most of his time fighting) and it's essentially a monologue; the only breaks are for them to ask inane questions designed simply as transition points, like: "Well, surely you can't mean that..." "But if what you're saying is true, then..." And the speech goes on for chapters. The topic was interesting, but it just rambled. The section should have been edited dramatically, and the fact that it was included really annoyed me.
The book had some really fun aspects, and if this were ever made into a movie, I'd want to see it, just to see the world that Stephenson created, along with some of the technology. But I wound up forcing myself to finish this book.
(One last point, minor spoiler alert: one of the main characters in this book is 15 years old, and there is a scene where she has sex with a grown man, an assassin. The fact that that was included really put me off, too.)
