Query: Clearly a Graduate of His Own Fictional MegaUniversity

Nothing is worse than a book with a promising start that gets progressively more tedious with every passing page. Stephenson's satire on college life degenerates into a miraculously idiotic tale that goes WAY over the top and becomes a blatantly violent, purposeless bloodbath. By the start of the spring semester (the second half of the book), you'll realize you're in the unsteady hands of an alleged author who smugly revels in his own imagined cleverness and who obviously needs to revisit Fiction Writing 101 at his local university. Not interesting. Not funny. Not even remotely amusing. Not recommended.
