I enjoyed snow crash probably up until 2/3rds through, same with cryptonomicon. I truly wish he would stick a god damn landing. I don't know what happens after the halfway marks. It's like a different writer takes over and it jumps the shark. I stopped reading his books after a while when they all seem to go off the rails. Damn shame really.

I'd argue that Anathem and Seveneves had actual conclusions.

Possibly The Baroque Cycle though it's been a while since I'd re-read it.

His political fiction (Interface and The Cobweb) were also fairly traditional, though he had a co-author on those.

I love all his books, no hate.

Anathem had perhaps the biggest deux ex machina in literary history, and seveneves had an entirely separate novella for an ending.

> Seveneves

Seveneves had a conclusion, and then an extra book...

Diamond Age is the most important science fiction book of all time... until you get to 2/3 of the way through and the guy in the ... underwater? hippy? drug dream? It never recovers.
