I really loved Permutation City, and loved the beginning of Fall, but man it felt like Fall just turned into a really hard slog after a certain point. I have definitely enjoyed some of Neal Stephenson's other novels too, even slower-paced ones like Anathem, but for some reason Fall just didn't do it for me.
- microtherion 6y agoI agree that the middle of the novel was dragging, but after a while, the story was picking up speed again for me. Stephenson's early novels suffered from weak endings, IMHO. His newer ones (Fall, Seveneves) suffer from bloated midsections).
