Review title: Left Me Bored and Hungry
Product review: Though Stephenson has some titillating fantasies about nanotech to share, they fail to overcome the lack of a compelling plot. Usually I can't put a good book down. This one I found hard to plod through. The story finally gelled and became somewhat interesting about 2/3 of the way through the book, but even then it never really grabbed me. It seemed as though Stephenson relied on imaginative sound bites of future tech to carry the book, while the story wandered around and really went nowhere.Two thumbs down. I usually pass on my favorite reads to a good friend. I wouldn't waste his time on this one.
