I think he just has gotten more and more bored with this book, and has gotten more and more lazy.
I do not necessarily disagree with this. What I do not fathom, if this is the case, is why he would write To Sleep in a Sea of Stars at all. Writing is unpleasant enough when you are passionate about the story (at least if you are attempting good writing). Why write it all if he has so little interest? Need of money? Why make it so long? His last book shows he has no problem writing so little it can be construed as an insult to his fans. Why not churn out something half the size and just stop writing once it is boring? Why not break it into part one and two and try for more money that way? Either approach has the potential for more profit for less work and keeps him relevant (or whatever it should be called as an author). He can still go on interviews and brag about how great he is. In fact, the same work would result in twice as many interviews if it were broken up a sequel.
