I don't want to be interesting

This is a great book. I heartily recommend it. However, I don't think it's interesting.

I don't think it's interesting because I don't like that word. 

"Interesting" is vague.

"Interesting" is meaningless.

"Interesting" is a word people use when they don't know what else to say.

Try it. Next time someone tells you about something "interesting", ask them what made it interesting or why they thought it was interesting.

Or consider when someone tells you they "have something 'interesting' to tell you." Is it really interesting? Or is it gossip? Or is it something they don't have a better description for?

"Interesting" is unspecific and unconsidered. Not the book, the concept.

 That's not what I want to be, or do, or be thought of.

Here are some much better adjectives (in no particular order):

challenging
inspiring
thought-provoking
troubling
upsetting
motivating
fascinating
amusing
entertaining
captivating
encouraging
intriguing
inviting
gripping
impressive
restorative
engrossing
enchanting
enthralling
spellbinding
diverting
attractive
rousing
persuasive
provocative
stimulating
stirring
exceptional
exciting
unforgettable

Don't those sound more appealing?

It's the first three items on that list (challenging, inspiring, thought-provoking) that I think apply to that book, too.
