What happened, Mr. Stephenson? Get tired of writing?After the pretty good effort on the first book, Collapse, you dropped the ball in this sequel. In the first book, you told a story by leading the readers through it. About half way through this one, you apparently decided to stop taking us through the story and just decided to tell us what happened. This happened, then this happened, then this happened, etc. etc. etc. Pieces of the story that you told in two paragraphs would have been much better told in two pages. Where did the details go? Where did the characters' interaction go? Like my title says, a real disappointment. I doubt I will buy the third book.
