A review by lolajoan
Gnomon by Nick Harkaway

4.0

This is definitely Harkaway's most ambitious novel so far, but it's not my favourite. The middle 50% or so could have been tightened up, it got a little sloggy. And there's a new element introduced at the halfway point that nearly made me put the book down cuz I was just getting exhausted. It seems like he is aiming for a Neal Stephenson kind of experience with this one, but I'm not quite sure he makes it there. Although I do like his characters more than Stephenson's.
