“At the end it is just a Neal Stephenson book”

And that's it.

Except this one is a bit different. For once, I enjoy most of the writing and never felt this “why is it written like this” feeling. But on the other hand this book very much lacked a good editor because there are a lot of parts where rambling goes on for 10 or more pages that has absolutely nothing to do with the story, or any characters or pretty much anything. Something that could be written in 2 pages.

The other, and usual, complain is the ending. This is pretty much expected that a book by him just ends so abruptly that it feels like ran out of ideas and therefore a proper ending. It feels rushed, like in three pages we are done, while other things take 50 pages to explain.

Still, this is the first book by him where I can give four stars without feeling bad, because even though with all my complaining I really enjoyed it.
