I first found Neal Stephenson when I read the book Cryptonomicon. I was blown away by the depth of detail, the characters and the stroy line.
Now follows the Baroque Cycle...it defies description...
It is an historical romp through the mid to late 1600's.
I can't begin to describe this book except to say it is outlandish, funny, thrilling.....
I am now ready to start Volume 2

I loved this book. It took a little time to get through it but Neal Stephenson delivers...
I first read Crytonomicon by Neal and was hooked.
This is well worth the effort.
This bbok is beiong passed to a freind who will then do the same or release it.
