I agree about Diamond Age (I also feel that the ending just... Stops),
Well, I'm fine with sudden and ambiguous endings. But yeah, it felt like he all at once ran out of plot, or hit the upper word limit imposed by his publisher.
and I feel he solves the characterization problems by the time we get to Cryptonomicon.
I'm not yet sure whether or not I'm going to attempt that one.
