A solid read, I liked the first part more than the second bit of everything that happened after they made it to "safety" and could start focusing on rebuilding the human race. I do appreciate that Stephenson included the second part though. I think it added a nice ending to see where everything ended up after the fact.

Overall a great book (despite some parts where it was like okay was it really necessary to talk about Doc thinking about calculus when he was having sex and did you really need to haven all the women super horny every other chapter) and I would highly recommend it. This has definitely made it to my list of favorite books and I'll have to check out some of Stephenson's other works.
