A review by lindsayymack
Anathem by Neal Stephenson

5.0

The world that is created in this book, with its own language and political dramas, I just fell to loving this book and was unable to put it down. Starts a little slow with the "footnoted" dictionary excerpts - which are so well placed throughout the book - ended up loving the characters and trajectory, in spite of somewhat shallow descriptions thereof. I most appreciated understanding the language and logic aspects, so, admitting my nerdiness, maybe not for every reader, but worth a shot for anyone who liked Clockwork Orange, Maze Runner, or any book that slightly challenged your vocabulary and understanding of what is real while solving interesting puzzles.
