carterike 's review for:

Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson
4.5
adventurous challenging reflective slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

Very slow but rewarding read. The Bobby Shaftoe chapters made the book and I enjoyed the cryptology/mathematics theme (right up my alley). I was disappointed by the ending because it felt abrupt for a 900+ page book.
