panderkins 's review for:

Reamde by Neal Stephenson
2.5

The first 30% about the game world was great. Then I was invested in the story and characters and had to keep going through the next 40% of it which was a tedious international chase scene. (Oh god, another boat!) Then the last 30% was a long drawn out ridiculous gun battle that I skimmed to the terrible schmaltzy ending. The worst thing is the ridiculous oversight of the international intelligence community in not figuring out exactly where the terrorists would logically converge.
