I don't know why but I am having a real hard time working up the energy to read DODO. I don't expect I'll dislike it or anything, I just... I dunno. Co-authored books have a really spotty track record in my experience, The Talisman and Good Omens being massive exceptions to that.

I think it's the witches. They're very Granny Weatherwax in character. Sort of a weird mix of Stephenson/Pratchett. I don't get much of the other author's voice at all, but I'm only about 200ish pages in.

A coauthor seems like a good idea to balance some of Stephenson's excesses. I think he had one with Interface and that was a pretty fun read.
