Negative Positive
Title: Long, very long
Review: If someone should ever ask me about Cryptonomicon, frankly I cannot imagine an answer better than "Well, it's a very long book...". It is my first book from Stephenson (and probably the last one) and my opinion is that a writer should be less presumptuous and should not release a 918 pages volume before being prepared to that. The story is too fragmented, the plot - if any - is not tangible, and there is an evident intention to reach the 900 pages target. The same subject is covered in 1996 Robert Harris' novel, Enigma, in a better way.
Is the review positive or negative?
