A review by mcmanifold
Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson

funny informative mysterious slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

A very funny book, and surprisingly accurate on the technical side. The pacing was absolutely atrocious, but chapter to chapter was entertaining enough to keep me enjoying the book. The lack of forward momentum in the plot however prevented it from truly gripping me.
