Seveneves

Seveneves was a book of two halves. The first dealt with a fantastical situation in a very personal way and with such detail that each and every plot turn felt realistic and believable. Up until the second part I was convinced this was going to be a five star book but unfortunately the second part went too far on the detail while creating a whole new world, sucking out all of the momentum the first half had created. Saying that, it was interesting to see the author answer the questions that most similar books would leave to your imagination. All in all this is a great, if somewhat flawed, book.
