A review of The Confusion on Slashdot

jmweeks writes "Neal Stephenson's The Confusion is an exhausting read--not simply in keeping track of the dozens of major characters, many with two or three names or titles or hyphenated titles; not due to its quite literal circumnavigation of the globe; not even, or at least not only, because of its interminable cycle of fortune and misfortune: Its 800-plus pages are much more taxing for what Stephenson leaves out than what he includes."
And it's given an 8 out of 10. I still haven't finished reading Quicksilver, in fact I read All Tomorrows Parties in between books 2 and 3 (the only Gibson book I hadn't read) as I needed a fix of future science fiction.
