I read something like that recently as well. Thankfully, the core idea of the novel was strong enough that I was able to skim the infodumps and read through it to the good stuff... because the good stuff really was that good.

Yeah... save the infodumps for as late as you possibly can... and even then, if you can edit them so that they don't "dump" quite so much, you'll be much better off when pulling readers in. "As you know, Bob" really doesn't go over very well anymore.
