Go back and read his earlier work. Looks like he hands these off to interns now

The book...and me for reading it to the end. So disappointing compared to Seveneves. Not recommended.

First 400 pages were amazing and I could see a lot of parallels with this alternative reality. The fantasy adventure got very treacherous to read. Very slow. Long chapters of walking. Also sloppily written. Found a half a dozen tense errors.

Can't believe how much this fits my dreams and fantasies -- very satisfying.

The best parts of this book are the parts that take place in the real world. Yet Stephenson spends much more time in the virtual afterlife. It's a good read but not as good as his other works.

The whole story concept is really genius and it starts off great but 70% in it fizzled out and can not bring myself to finish it. The storyline in the bit world got really boring and really bad and I am so bored I can’t read it anymore.

Another fabulous and thought-provoking ride. I am SO happy Neal Stephenson is so hard-working and prolific! What a cool book...

..... weak ending. Like many of Neal’s works I’m finding the premise of the novels intriguing, throughout compelling, the endings flat.

Kind of started strong but fell into an overly long story of medieval fighting. Maybe it’s just me but this book has no ending that makes any sense.

Don’t waste your time.
