Anathem: too Long by Half and Mildly Derivative

Date of Review:  Sep 25, 2008
The Bottom Line: Neal Stephenson's Anathem may put paid to spec-fic's trilogy boom, but MAN! is it long!
Review: It was during middle school that most of us learned of the historical period some call the "Dark Ages," a centuries-long era in which the chief repository of knowledge was the early Christian church. More than anything else, we heard tales of monks...

Anathem by Neal Stephenson

Professional Reviews
  Wall Street Journal: "One of Mr. Stephenson's best skills--as he has showed in QUICKSILVER, CRYPTONOMICOM and other novels--is his ability to present a puzzle, piece by piece, in such a way that the reader can gradually arrive at a solution along with the book's narrator. He is science fiction's Agatha Christie, placing a shocking revelation in full view but revealing it one small clue at a time."
