A review by bret
Quicksilver by Neal Stephenson

4.0

I don't actually recommend trying to read this immense trilogy(?) to anyone who hasn't already exhausted his other books (minus Zodiac) and you can rate at least one of them (maybe 2?) in your top 5. It's incredible, smart, detailed, and I'm glad I read it but wow did it take a long time to finish.
If you decide to do it, I wish you luck!
