A review by yaakovakiva
Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson
3.0
I really wanted to give this book four stars, but I just couldn't do it. This is the first book I've listened to as an audiobook and I really enjoyed it as an audiobook, but I'm not sure I would enjoy it through a more traditional reading process. The narrator really made the book for me overall.
The book seemed pretty thoroughly unresolved at the end for me, and I didn't liked the narrator's depiction of YT (there are certain adult scenes that were somewhat disturbing given how young and childish YT was made to sound by the narrator). The relationship with Hiro and Juanita was underdeveloped and strange as well.
Overall, this seemed like an amazing concept that *almost* succeeded for me. It was fun to listen to, but ultimately left me wanting a little more. There were parts that I absolutely loved, but there weren't quite enough of those parts to give this four stars.
