It's .. fine.

To me NS books are not much about the plot though. I'm floored how many things that guy knows and how creatively he connect them.

That's true, I don't even remember the ending to Snow Crash which I read some ~6 years ago. The unraveling premise that comes about in the ~3rd quarter of the book is what stuck with me. Think it'll be the same for Cryptonomicon.
