Book Reviews of Anathem
Book Review: Disappointing
Summary: 1 Stars
Stephenson has written some excellent books. I particularly enjoyed Snow Crash, The Diamond Age and Cryptonomicon. The Diamond Age, with its story of Nell and The Young lady's Illustrated Primer, is a superbly imaginative work.
Anathem is not one of Stephenson's best works. In fact, I think it is absolute rubbish. I read the first few pages carefully. Then I began to flick through with increasing speed. Then I gave up and the book now waits to be donated to Oxfam.
In Anathem Stephenson not only rambles on and on [Anathem has 937 pages] but has invented an entirely new vocabulary which makes the book difficult to follow. I did not bother.
