quirkyblogger 's review for:
The Rise and Fall of D.O.D.O.
by Nicole Galland, Neal Stephenson
The premise is good. I wanted to love this book, and I did love parts of it.
BUT.
Overall, it was a slog. I don't know who edited this book, but they ought to be ashamed of themselves. Probably half of it could've been dumped without any harm. So many things were repeated, and I just got tired of reading it.
I trudged all the way through, though, because I wanted to see how it turned out. So I think that speaks to the plot, at least. And some of the characters were delightfully written. (Others not so much.)
If you have a lot of time on your hands and absolutely nothing else to read, this is probably okay.
