I didn't find it slow or boring. I was also 14, and found the ideas
involved original.
I suspect, given the reactions of my (somewhat older, and older when
they read it) friends, that I'd find it less palatable now -- clearly,
TRiH has a lot of fans, but it's got plenty of detractors as well
(obviously, not anywhere near as commonly disliked as, say, Feng's).
