Some passages in the Book of Mormon can be dreary, violent or just plain boring. Oddly, LDS sometimes can't understand how someone could say that. They think it's an attack on the veracity of the Book of Mormon or somehow insulting to LDS. If your faith is so fragile that you can't understand why someone thinks that the Book of Mormon might be boring, violent or dreary-get over it and grow up.
Or, show them this passage.
It's an uplifting and joyous passage, and it's also one that is a pleasant little rebuke to the boredom or violence that might be getting you down. It starts off by telling the reader to "sing and be joyful" and to "break forth into singing" and then closes by saying that "the Lord hath comforted his people and will have mercy upon his afflicted." Uplifting and positive verse? You got it right here.
