Seveneves

I've wanted to read some Neal Stephenson for a while and was recommended this book by a friend.

I'm afraid I found the 880 page Seveneves very hard work, with huge swaths of information dumping, pages of pointless description and dull characters. Towards the middle, I must admit I was ready to bail out.

I hate to abandon books, so I knuckled down and soldiered on and it did improve a lot towards the finish line.

A lot of people have raved about this novel and I know it's me that's wrong. There's an excellent book (or even a trilogy) in there somewhere, it just really needed an editor to whip it into shape.
