Review title: Stunning
Product review: Having read Snow crash already, I picked up the Diamond Age with no hesitation. I knew I would be in for a rip-roaring good story that would teach and entertain me at the same time. I was not disappointed. Stephenson's knack for incorporating the details of his obviously extensive research without coming off as a pedagogue is unparalleled. The book falls short of five stars for its ending, though, which seems rushed compared to the attention to detail given the rest of the novel. Nevertheless, that's a small quibble for a novel by which I was consistently challenged -- and rewarded for the effort. When it was finished, I was a bit saddened because this was one of those rare novels I wanted to spend more time with when it had come round to its conclusion. Incidentally, the cover art on the British edition is much better than what's shown here.
