Took 5 hours today to finish this book, and I had only a half left. All I can say is that it was too much. Review coming up in November.

I kind of can't wait to be done with this now. This book wasn't bad, but much, much too long. And it's making me super fidgety.

Finishing this today for Dewey's 24h readathon. Anyone else taking part? I've already been reading for nearly 3 hours.

Trudging on. It's still good, but is could have used some cuts. All of that politics in the other parts of the world - I could have done without that, I swear.

Despite staying up due to this book last night, tonight I must conclude that there is only so much of this you can read in one go.

And it just keeps getting better and better. large organisations, spies, a utopia, Victorians IN CHINA and the fate of many little girls.

It's interesting in a typical Neal Stephenson way, but... He does bog you down with details. I can't say it's boring, but at times? Yes, it's a little bit like a chore. I feel like it could have been edited to be shorter.

Neo-Victorians! How very interesting. I must say, Stephenson has their talking style down very well.
