kevsyers 's review for:
The Quantum Thief
by Hannu Rajaniemi
What did I just read? I felt like I just crammed for a test in quantum physics and string theory (which Mr. Rajaniemi has a Ph.D in). As someone that actually stays current with various theories in these fields, I thought I would be able to follow this book a little better than most. I was wrong. I did more homework while reading this book than I did for most of my high school exams. While this might be a major deterrent to some I would strongly urge those to get through half of the book. The dense vocabulary will begin to click and the story really picks up speed.
If I had one complaint it would be that I felt like the book tried to end a few times until Mr. Rajaniemi remembered he forgot to put in another point. (the whole 'Return of the King' syndrome)
For those of you that are enjoying the book but having a difficult time following the nomenclature, I would suggest searching for 'Quantum Thief wiki' it was a major help.
