"The moon blew up without warning and for no apparent reason."
I think Seveneves was one of Stephenson's weaker novels overall, but you can't deny it has a killer opening line.
- ghaff 5y agoI rather liked the first part (2 parts?). But then there was a wildly improbable transition to the last part that I didn't find terribly interesting.
- brimble 5y agoStephenson is an excellent author of the first thirds of novels.
- InitialLastName 5y agoHe continues the grand tradition of science fiction writers producing works of conceptual genius marred only by insipid characters lacking any development and absent plots.
- entropyie 5y agoThe first half of this book was absolutely amazing... Could have been one of the best sci-fi books ever, but the second half was mediocre and unconvincing... Such a disappointment. Still worth it though overall.
