About this listen
“Stephenson has a once-in-a-generation gift: he makes complex ideas clear, and he makes them funny, heartbreaking, and thrilling.” - Time
The #1 New York Times bestselling author of Anathem, Neal Stephenson is continually rocking the literary world with his brazen and brilliant fictional creations - whether he’s reimagining the past (The Baroque Cycle), inventing the future (Snow Crash), or both (Cryptonomicon). With Reamde, this visionary author whose mind-stretching fiction has been enthusiastically compared to the work of Thomas Pynchon, Don DeLillo, Kurt Vonnegut, and David Foster Wallace - not to mention William Gibson and Michael Crichton - once again blazes new ground with a high-stakes thriller that will enthrall his loyal audience, science and science fiction, and espionage fiction fans equally. The breathtaking tale of a wealthy tech entrepreneur caught in the very real crossfire of his own online fantasy war game, Reamde is a new high - and a new world - for the remarkable Neal Stephenson.

“Stephenson...delivers a sprawling thriller that shows him in complete control of his story.” (Publishers Weekly)
“Noir futurist Stephenson returns to cyberia with this fast-moving though sprawling techno-thriller...Who’ll prevail? We don’t know till the very end, thanks to Stephenson’s knife-sharp skills as a storyteller. An intriguing yarn—most geeky, and full of satisfying mayhem.” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review)
“Sometimes when you’re reading Neal Stephenson, he doesn’t just seem like one of the best novelists writing in English right now; he seems like the
only one.” (Lev Grossman, Time)

Characters Galore
The multiple characters are unique and intersect in interesting ways. At various points you think you know how the story will progress but it then takes a turn. loved it.

too long, wasted potential
starts very interesting, then becomes a run-of-the-mill action story. wasted potential, way too long.
still enjoyable.

80% Great
I liked most of this book, interesting, fun intriguing lots of characters but the the end scene was like a confusing 6 hr shootout that left me confused and failed to hold my attention.

a marathon
oh lordy… this was an exhausting ride. i absolutely loved Termination Shock so thought i’d try this but… i couldn’t do it without LONG breaks. the narrator was fantastic, but the ending really could’ve been better. overall, i’d suggest just read Termination Shock instead.

Thoroughly enjoyable
Struggled at the beginning..but didn't take that long to warm to the authors bunch of unlikely heroes. Struggled also with the narrator's accents which were sometimes muddled, but definitely heard worse.
