I got about halfway through this book and just couldn't read it anymore. I have no idea where the story was eventually gonna go but it was taking forever to get there.
I wouldn't say 'phenomenal', but it was an interesting read. As for being for 'deep thinkers'... not really either. Just slow at times and a bit of a slough IMO compared to many of his others and some people will put it down.
Why is that? I looked it up, almost same page count. But completely different plot, haha. Is it a good book? I'm always reading, and happy to try new things.
i loved the first half where they set up the place.
the second part, a little less so although when i think back on it,
i do think it was quite interesting.
it's a linear read, not like infinite jest.
If you will read it, $2 is very worth it.
If anyone seriously wants to read infinite jest, i'd like to give it another go.
maybe we can do some kind of book club.

To be fair that's Stephenson in general... I like his books but typically they don't so much end as they grind to a halt.
