Snow Crash

This was a follow-up recommended to be by the same person who recommended Neuromancer. As such, I came into it with high hopes. After all, even the cover compared it to Neuromancer.

This book is crap.

I never actually thought I would say this about anything, but this book just steps out of the bounds of believability. From what I can tell, it attempts to combine a Neuromancer genre (cyberpunk) with a DaVinci Code type plot. I don't know if it is possible for such things to mix, but this book doesn't manage it.

Throughout there is a lack of literary content, but an obvious attempt at it, which mainly just gives it a cheap imitation feeling.
