### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Clearly early work
  

*by K***I on Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2018*

I'm a big Neal Stephenson fan and thought I should read some.of the earlier books to be complete. Zodiac was really fun, but this one, while it showed some sparks, was quite a mess. The very long last chapter was quite a drag, and while I guess there was a resolution, the explanations were fairly trite. Yes, university life is silly, but for stuff razzing academia, there were much better bits in Cryptonomicon, Baroque, Anathem and even briefly in D.O.D.O.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Messy fun
  

*by D***W on Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2001*

I guess this is what you get when you let a brilliant but immature writer try to cover Catch-22 in a university setting.  The first half of The Big U is a fun but overbroad campus satire; then Stephenson gets tired of that and shifts the story into a full-out action-adventure in which the groups he set up earlier as amusing satires of real university phenomena become warring factions when law and order breaks down.  Although this part is a disappointment from a satirical perspective, it is more inventively written than the first half -- Stephenson's version of such chaos is complex and realistic in the way everyone's schemes are immediately trampled by everyone else's.  Stephenson recycled and improved this "every man for himself" chaos in the riot scene in The Diamond Age years later.  We also see Stephenson's early interest in The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind, which he later raised to wild heights in Snow Crash.You can see the training wheels -- this is by no means a great novel (as Snow Crash is) -- but The Big U will have historical interest for Stephenson fans, and it is a frothy, fun diversion in its own right.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Neal Stephenson is always great fun, and the Big U is far from ...
  

*by W***L on Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2017*

Neal Stephenson is always great fun, and the Big U is far from an exception.  An exciting story that snowballs from minor collegiate drama to life-and-death struggles in an engaging way.
