Title: great book disappointing ending
Review: i loved this book, found almost every page to be a pleasure. I loved the length and the complexity. I was, however, disappointed with the ending. In fact, it didn't really make sense. why write this fantastic 900 page tome, and then pay so little attention to the ending? Suffice it to say that the closing scenes and the ultimate villain just weren't believable. it seemed like stephenson was just tired of the book and wanted it to be over. i also agree with the reviewer who was irritated by the loose ends. Who WAS responsible for putting randy in prison? If it is the person who seems like the only possibility, it is hard to understand how he had that kind of power. Next time, stephenson should take a break if he gets tired, but come through with a better finish. p.s. i love lawrence pritchard waterhouse.
