A review by kristag
Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson

3.0

My interest flagged a bit about 2/3 in (particularly around Randy's trip back to the US) but I'm glad I read this book. I chose it because it was on the NPR list of the top 100 Sci-Fi/Fantasy.

The multiple storylines were interwoven well, but I missed the female perspective. Even though there were strong female characters in several places, none of the writing is from their perspective or gives much insight into their thinking, except as perceived by the male lead characters.
