A review by dllh
Seveneves by Neal Stephenson

2.0

I wanted to like this, but it was terrible. The story was a neat idea, but Stephenson seems a lot more interested in showing off the things he knows than in writing a readable story. Characterization is god-awful, descriptions of fascinating-sounding devices and structures opaque, repetition frustrating. When it finally starts to get more interesting, it's suddenly over. Probably would make a pretty cool movie, though.
