A review by mementomaggie
Quicksilver by Neal Stephenson

5.0

Formula for a Stephenson novel:
A maladroit nerd who gets shit done
A thief/ soldier
A very smart woman who, no less than 500 pages after the nerd falls in love with her, will reciprocate his affections
A genius
Enoch Root
A foreign and off kilter naval officer

Somehow it doesn’t get old.
