“I've just hit the halfway mark on this book (the beginning of "King of the Vagabonds") and I have really enjoyed it so far. The historic backdrop of the book I find fascinating and it's already led me to read up several persons and events from the period. Seeing the ancestors of some of the characters from "Cryptinomicon" pop-up is pretty neat as well.
This book, like all the Neil Stephenson books I've read, is extremely dense but so far is well worth the read. :)
...much time passes...
I didn't think it would happen to me, but after about three years I have finished this book! Even more shocking, I am now reading the next one in the cycle. I definitely recommend taking a break between books.”
