"Thank you so much for letting me review [TITLE], but I'm going to decline at this time. Unfortunately, the opening pages just aren't pulling me in the way I had hoped.
I know you've put a lot of time and effort into your project. Take heart: the publishing industry is very subjective, so what may not work for me could be just what another agency is looking for. I strongly encourage you to continue your pursuit of publication.
Thank you for considering me for your manuscript and I wish you great success with your writing career."
