badcanadian 's review for:
Cryptonomicon
by Neal Stephenson
Early on in this read, I had my doubts. About a quarter into it it grabbed me. Toward the end, it began to falter a little. Still, I'm glad I read it. I am no supporter of Readers Digest Condensed Books, but there is so much here that seems almost totally superfluous to character development or the story that I think this 1,200 page behemoth could be pared down to 200-300 pages without much impact on either. That said, there are lot's of basically superfluous passages that I really enjoyed reading. Others not so much.
