A review by sansserifsigma
Quicksilver by Neal Stephenson

4.0

As mentioned in my Cryptonomicon review, this is my heroin, so just by virtue of having unnecessary conversations of highly technical minutiae, I won't give it lower than a three. It helps that this is a period and topic in history I already had quite a bit of interest in, it hinders in that Stephenson took even more time than usual in getting to a damn point. We'll see.

REREAD:

I forgot how funny and humane some the plot was. I did not forget how terribly difficult it is to follow some of the political machinations. Same rating.
