Review
It had been a few years since I’d read anything by Stephenson, so I’d forgotten what a hilarious writer he is. This a rip-roaring adventure tale, set both during World War II and modern times, and it was a hell of a lot of fun to read. This book has actually been on my shelf for a pretty long time, thoroughly untouched because of the sheer length. However, I’m glad I finally got up the nerve to crack it open and read it, because even at 1000+ pages it was a brisk and entertaining read. I’m sure I could have finished it weeks ago if not for all of the time I spent getting read to move at the start of the month. Highly recommended, easily in my top 10 for the year even this early on.
