A review by bigsmiles
Snow Crash, by Neal Stephenson
5.0
this was epic in the weirdest kind of way
Dystopian Sci-fi does not get quirkier than this, that's a fact.
If you are not completely into this book by the time the first few chapters roll by, you have no sense of cool and are no friend of mine.
The story kindof wants to be hijacked by a tremendous infodump somewhat towards the end (hell of a lot of sumerian babble, and gods and complicated stuff) but it's not nearly enough to ruin the experience.
the audiobook was dreadful and I'll make a point of never buying any book narrated by this particular guy because his voice was unbearably monotone.
