A review by kiwikathleen
Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson

5.0

This massive book is at times hilarious and at times horrendous, but at all times utterly fascinating. My mathematics wasn’t up to scratch for the technical parts, but the book would have lost out in its dedication to compelling detail had none of that been there, so I wasn’t bothered by that. I loved the quirky characters and found the gradual coming together of the different time-lines absolutely brilliant. What a fabulous nerdy trip over time and around the world!
