Old Man's War

I didn't think I would like this book that much, but I was honestly surprised by how hard the emotional notes hit, when they did. Investment in great characters, solid speculative science.

First third of the book was a bit hard to understand the premise of this book. But this book opened up very well.

Enjoyable read. I really hope that John met Kathy again :)

Snow Crash

Snow Crash is a decent novel and my first from Neal Stephenson. The book wasn't bad but I just couldn't get into the story and I found Stephenson writing style a lot less engaging than I thought. Sometimes the dialogue seemed like it was written by a teenager - making me cringe from time to time. Additionally, I couldn't follow when the story was in the metaverse and when it was not, which added to the frustration of reading this book.

YMMV.
