The Cobweb by Neal Stephenson, J. Frederick George

Another random book choice while waiting for others to come in off of holds. I didn't care one way or the other for the actual story in this one, but I really enjoyed the main characters. Clyde was great. Betsy was mostly great, though I have a beef with the authors about her. If you're going to make one of your characters declare themselves Mormon, you should at least have them play that role or explain why they're not playing it properly. Betsy claims to be Mormon and then acts nothing of the sort. It would have worked just as well to have her be a sheltered farm girl without needing the Mormon aspect. Just a not terribly accurate portrayal that lingered in my mind through the whole book. Other than that I was entertained.
