> Snow Crash - No memory, I might have blocked it out?

The Snow Crash ending is IMO fine. Nothing amazing, but it wraps things up okay. It's just kind of typical action story beat-the-clock type thing, so it's not as memorable as really anything else in that book, though it is exciting.

> Stephenson just sucks at endings I guess.

Yeah, pretty much. He does beginnings and middles _so_ very well though that I never mind.

p.s. read Zodiac sometime if you haven't, it's one of his few books I noticed you didn't mention and it's a fun read.
