There was a great book in here. That great book was probably edited down from 1040 pages to 400.

This book felt as though there were characters and settings added to pad it out. Things came together in an incredibly unlikely way. The second to second minute to minute details of 5 different characters in multiple locations seemed like an unnecessary chore. I don't know if I'll give another one of his books a try at this point.

I read and absolutely loved Seveneves (would have given it 6/5 if I could) by him and that was equally long and overly verbose and detailed. It could be that I enjoyed the setting and plot of that story better.
