A review by scotteichinger
Seveneves by Neal Stephenson

3.0

This was a big book. I'm upset that 3 stars is the best I can give it. The first two thirds of the book were fantastic. FANTASTIC! Page turner. There were a few moments of Slowing down and how many more vectors and gees and science. I got list and skimmed over those sections. I trusted the characters knew they were the best at what they were doing, I didn't need a astrophysics lesson. Frankly, I think the book could have been shorter and stopped at the end of that second third. Continue on in a new book. Because the last third just didn't work for me. I got lost and confused. I couldn't picture the worlds our Spacers were living in. I kind of got, but I couldn't really visualize it. I got the various races. But then I got confused by reds and blues and epigenetic shifts...I'll see the movie, maybe that will clear some things up.
