Review: Runs out of gas before the half-way mark
Rating: 2 out of 5

Stephenson's first novel, "Collapse" was a five-star discovery. Unfortunately, "Resistance" runs out of energy before the mid-point. The writer tells rather than shows, and his characters suffer as a result. By the book's end, he has cardboard cliches rather than complete human beings.Mr. Stephenson, I'll read an excerpt of the third book in hopes that you get your ju-ju back.
