My biggest problem with Seveneves I just hit the time skip is that it really just Tells instead of Shows to a degree I find aggrivating. It's a lot of writing which amounts to "Bob gave a speech. It was an important speech and it said all the things he needed to say. History books would record the speech. He said it well. Then Bob discovered a problem. Fortunately Bob solved the problem and it was resolved." I know they can't hyper-emphasis everything in what amounts to an already extremely long book but I got really tired after a few repeated "a thing happens."

I didn't hate Seveneves but I did find it a little frustrating at points. I didn't like the last third of the book as much and felt it really should have been its own thing instead of shoehorned in and resolved so quickly. I will say though that JBF was one of the most unlikable, annoying, frustrating book characters I've ever encountered. I get that was intentional but holy poo poo was she aggravating. It's almost impressive how hatable she was.

My mental image of JBF was Clinton but that was formed during the early moments and doesn't fit her well later on.

The_Angry_Turtle posted:How do you pronounce Seveneves? Seven-eevs or seven-evs? By the end of the first part there are literally Seven Eves.

I genuinely think that if he wanted to do a flash-forward it should have been an epilogue at best. Leave enough to the imagination instead of providing just enough to get answers that are unsatisfying.

Atlas Hugged posted:To be fair his last three books have had like actual endings. And The Baroque Cycle ended about as well as a project of that scope could have. I'm not sure if I'd count Seveneves as having an ending. I mean maybe an ending and then another 1/3rd of a book.
