Lucifer's Hammer by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle.
I'm a sucker for (post) apocalyptic survival, but overall it wasn't very good. The first third was fairly engaging, but the other two thirds were relatively predictable. By then end of the book I disliked pretty much every character.
I feel like Niven just couldn't write people at all (especially women.) He had some cool concepts but I won't be going back to his work.
