A review by jbliv
Reamde by Neal Stephenson

4.0

Reamde is an almost ludicrous exercise in plot mechanics. As only Neal can, the author weaves dozens of characters and worldwide locales into a complex, nearly unbelievable tale. It's a great read, if a bit sterile. What the story lacks in emotion it makes up for in sheer intellectual gymnastics. Though not as effective as Anathem, Reamde is still a solid entry from a great novelist.
