Seveneves

3.5*. From one point of view this book is truly fascinating. An amazing study of ‘what if moon blows up' studied from so many angles it is really mind boggling how the author processed it. From a different perspective the narrative is rather dull being more of a chronicle of humanity at the brink than a novel. This created a weird mix of feelings for me. I was very interested how they can tackle different problems, what kind of issue can arise, etc. but I was not really entertained by the writing itself. The third part of the book changed into more of a pure sci-fi/fantasy story 5k years later. This brings some freshness to the writing, but then, imho loses the hard sci-fi part and believability. Nevertheless, I truly enjoyed going through this chronicle as a whole. It could make into a good TV show.
