I only read about a third of this book before I gave it up. I found it plodding, and I kept waiting for some sort of payoff which never came. I loved "Cryptonomicon" by the same author. It was funny, intriguing and I wanted to keep reading it to see where it would go next. This one had none of those qualities, sadly.

Life's too short to read books you don't like!

As per usual, shit gets interesting once a Shaftoe shows up.

In other news, this should/could be adapted Game-of-Thrones-style, into an HBO miniseries I would watch religiously.
