Neal Stephenson

Well it’s a long time coming I kept meaning to blog it but I am soooo loving Neal Stephenson. I finished The Diamond age a while ago but it absolutely blew my mind I haven’t been that challenged by a book in a long time. It was tough going to start with and i was tempted to give up a few times but I kept at it and was so glad that I did. The whole story-line was just … WOW, I don’t really know how else to describe it the way he thinks is just so much deeper than most and his imagination is so out there it’s in it’s own world. The only thing I was slightly disappointed with was the ending which was a little bit rushed but Mark assured me that this was a tradition of his. I think you have to read quite regularly and be enthusiastic about it otherwise this book will just go over your head. I have already gone out and bought Quicksilver : Part 1 of his Baroque Cycle however it is on hold until i have re-read Northern Lights in preparation for the film coming out in the beginning of December.
