| Awful. I read the first couple of chapters and then flicked forward to see if the writing style was going to switch or something (as if the first bit was maybe a fantasy), but it seemed to carry on in a style that was so difficult to read. The last book I gave up on was when I overstretched myself by trying to read The Hobbit when I was 9. I deleted this one from my Kindle. I'm at a loss as to its appeal. | ||||

| Don't understand what this is about! Don't understand the language! What a waste of money pity there is no negative star rating. | ||||

| This book ranked highly on one of those "100 Best Novels of All Time" lists, with a disproportionate number of votes. I think either the ballot box was stuffed, or there's some huge underground fan base for this book who all encouraged each other to vote. Other reviews here mention Neuromancer by Wm Gibson, which I really enjoyed, but Snow Crash does not measure up to that league. It's a little too over-the-top silly sometimes, in its attempts to be funny. | ||||

| While there are some smart things in there - the pseudo parodical style is not really of my taste... this and the sumerian story. | ||||

| I've read 6 Neal Stephenson novels and enjoyed them all immensely, but this is an unmitigated disaster. There are numerous very basic structural problems that render it completely nonsensical. - Characters are literally in two places at once in some scenes: i.e. Hiro rescuing Y.T. in one part of the city, and being in his storage unit logged into the metaverse at the same time. - Other characters have entire arcs set up only to never be paid off: i.e. Y.T.'s relationship with Uncle Enzo. - Plot devices aren't even paid off: i.e. Raven's nuclear bomb. - In the middle of major action sequences there are huge gaps in time: i.e. Hiro finally gets to the raft only to spend weeks (?) floating in the ocean waiting to be rescued? Or he finally makes it onto the raft, and sits down and plays on his computer for hours while guys with guns are hunting him? - Massive character leaps occur "off screen": i.e. Hiro all of a sudden goes from a poor nobody to a rich guy with fancy gadgets literally from one scene to the next. And at the end Hiro talks about all the hangouts and meals he and Y.T. have shared and yet in the book they've only ever even met a couple of times and barely know each other. - There are huge swaths of mostly unimportant dialogue that gets repeated for no reason: pretty much anything to do with the virus. - Strange conversations take place indicating previous interactions that have never happened: the entire motorcycle conversation between Hiro and Raven for example, which comes out of nowhere, makes no sense, and is totally pointless. - The end just happens: not only does the ending fail to payoff almost every major and minor character arc, but the finale involves characters that are so secondary to the plot that you couldn't care less about them. They're essentially movie extras, and the main cast isn't even in the vicinity. It would be like if at the end of Star Wars instead of Luke flying down the Death Star trench with Darth Vader behind him, it was Wedge followed by Grand Moff Tarkin. Think about how crazy that is. And these are just structural problems. I'm not even taking into account how many grains of salt you would have to take in order to get past the whole ancient Sumerian verbal virus in the first place, or other outlandish jibberish. The number of positive reviews for this are shocking, but even more unbelievable is so few people mentioning these MAJOR plot and character issues. I can get past, and even enjoy, the intentionally cartoonish style. I can get past the intentionally racist stereotypes. I can even get past the absurd sexualization of the 15 year-old and her "sexy" rape scene. I cannot, however, get past the fact that the very basic framework of the book doesn't even make sense. | ||||

| I heard about this book a lot on the web, always managing to find its way into the comments of threads along the line of 'what books should I read'. Everyone always seemed to be in love with this book whenever mentioned. So I picked it up and gave it a go. By the last 20 pages I couldn't wait to finish the book just to be done and move onto anything else. I feel like this book took an interesting core concept and completely ruined it. I probably ended up skimming through a third of this skipping over crappy religious monologues that never caught my interest. Then there's the author rushing to a sex scene then back peddling to explain the boring route they got there two minutes before. Plus I thought the ending was rushed.. and was written poorly. I just didn't really enjoy this book, couldn't wait to put it down for good. If you can get it cheap, $2 or under and want to gamble then go for it. But once you get to the librarian just realize that's going to be a big part of how the book reads the rest of the way. For reference I've liked such books as the Game of Thrones series (ASOIAF), Daemon, and Ready Player One. | ||||

| Shame I won't get a refund. It's so rare I won't finish a book but 60 per cent in and I can't face this dull read anymore this is not cyberpunk it's an old persons rehash of 90s skate culture after this I'll never mention this book again | ||||

| I bought this on a recommendation from a friend but it is not for me.. Amazon should not make this field mandatory. The stars should be enough. Angry Amazon forcing me to use more words. | ||||

| There are some really interesting ideas in this book and a whole bunch of allegedly innovative thinking about virtual reality but there are no interesting characters and the plot collapses into garble around when the Sumerian elements are introduced. | ||||

| I had to read this for a class, with that said, I read fantasy for fun and enjoy some Sci Fi books. This book starts out as if an angsty teenager were writing it. This doesn't change until the last third of the book. Other than that the way the author describes the future is scary close to what is being developed today. Not a fan of the writing style. Well thought out plot. Interesting way to think of the future. | ||||

| Terrible! Not worth your time our money. Verisimilitude? None. Suspension of disbelief? Laughable. Plot holes? Swiss cheese like. Author uses the same dumb figure of speech throughout the book: Person X felt the (insert helicopter crash or other loud action movie sound here), before (he or she) heard it. (or something to that effect). Neal Stephenson books? Never again! | ||||

| Beware of the deceptive shipping method they employ. If you want it delivered to your door skip this merchant because you think you're getting UPS but instead you get UPS Surepost which is the the US Postal service. Nothing wrong with that, I suppose, especially if you really like getting your package in 4 days instead of 2, or if you just really like driving yourself to the post office and standing in line while you chat with your neighbors who also used UPS Surepost. | ||||

| started soon to get boring, when I reached the guy with the tactical nuke in his sidecar I stopped further reading as a plot for a fast paced graphic novel maybe useable btw I remember a novel from the eighties where a girl with blue hair in an endtime world meets a: yes you're right, an Aleutan with a tactical nuke in his sidecar .... | ||||

| I really did try to go the distance on this book, but it was just too messy. Some good ideas undermined by poor writing. Stephenson's dystopia has too many discordant elements and the book does not make sense. | ||||
