I was a bit underwhelmed by Stephenson’s very popular Snow Crash, but I am also aware of how highly regarded he has become, so I have been curious to read more of his work. In the early going, this is engagingly off-center and fun, and not suffering from the too-cool-for-school vibes of Snow Crash.

Pacing and forward momentum has taken a nosedive. There are still lots of interesting ideas at play, but Stephenson seems to have hit a wall in terms of putting those ideas into the form of a story.

Finished PART THE FIRST. I’m curious to see whether or not Stephenson is going to be able to pull off tying his many and various strands together in a satisfying manner. It’s certainly a very ambitious and original work.

It’s entertaining and unpredictable and has so many intriguing things on its mind.

I think he has a case as the most divisive writer in the English language only because his fans can't work out in any way what his best and worst books are. Every person has wildly, passionately different reactions to each book. It's fascinating.
