That didn't end well for pretty much everyone involved.



It took me until the end of part II to understand the book title. Then i think i actually cursed out loud.


(In case anybody is wondering, these comments are referring to the excellent book "Seveneves" by Neil Stephenson)


(Oh man, I think it was a stinker. I'm a big Stephenson fan and I was really disappointed. Just one point: It was so freighted with exposition and so thin on dialog and character development, "show, don't tell" was out the window.)


i liked the first 2/3 in an analytical hard sci-fi kind of way. The last third had some interesting world-building, but was less my speed.
